FORT WORTH, Texas, June 4 (UPI) -- Although he is a bachelor, Michael Bloomberg of Fort Worth, Texas, has become an expert at marriage proposals.

What began as a hobby has turned into a business venture for the former organizational consultant, when he created An Exclusive Engagement.

"My creative side wanted to do something different from accounting," Bloomberg told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

So far, he has guided 15 would-be grooms to accepted proposals, using creative techniques such as a proposal at the Hope Diamond exhibit.

For a basic fee of $349, Bloomberg says he will gain an in-depth understanding of the potential future bride -- the better to create the ideal situation.

An Exclusive Engagement also caught the interest of a television producer who will make a one-hour special about the company -- and plans to pitch TV networks on a reality show based on the concept.
