The proposal in Stepmom, starring Julia Roberts and Ed Harris, is simple yet touching and definitely memorable. Imagine waking your beloved from her sleep with a gentle good morning kiss. In your hand, you hold a ring box, but inside, instead of a diamond ring, she finds a spool of thread. Tie the thread around her ring finger, signifying the ties that are not meant to be broken. Then slide the ring down the thread and onto her finger.
