A grammatical problem

Which one is correct?

I want to fall madly in love; or
I want to fall in love madly

(or ...both of them are wrong?)

Thanks in advance

Re: A grammatical problem

Both are fine. The first one is more common/commoner; the second one places emphasis on madly--It's poetic, and I like it.
