The late Carl Sagan would have responded to your question with, "Bill-yuns and bill-yuns...."
The Ord Mantell story is one of the great chestnuts of SW ficdom, along with Han and Leia's first night in the Ewok hut and what-if-Anakin-lived-past-ROTJ. Still, I don't see a lot of them online and well, who cares if it's more Han/Leia action? I've read loads of Anakin/Padme proposal stories and I'll never get sick of them ;).
What's even more interesting is that they had a chance to fix that in the canon and didn't. In the YJK, there was a book called "Return to Ord Mantell" and they left it open, even though it was something they could have addressed, so that was really interesting.
