I am a HUGE fan of scavenger hunts. Ok…that’s a lie. I think they’re just ok. But my fiance Addison planned out a whole scavenger hunt around the city we met in order to propose to me. Needless to say, whenever I see a proposal similar I get all nostalgic and release a chorus of girly “Awwwwws.” I just think proposals that involve more than just being asked create an even bigger memory (then again, the memory is already pretty big so who am I to judge?).

But this is a great 2012 proposal starting the year off right. While it’s not a scavenger hunt, it’s pretty close and still just as adorable (plus it was caught on film! I extra love how groom-to-be is wearing a hidden camera too. Seriously, watch the clip!). This smooth guy proposed to his girl during geocaching. If you’re not familiar with the term, it’s a kind of past time where people all over the world hide items (usually film canisters with pieces of paper inside) and then post the coordinates on websites such as geocaching.com. People use GPS devices to track down the items. It’s quite fun.

So this guy sets it up to where the ring is the geocache at the end of the hunt. Pretty smooth. I just love the look on her face when she drops the piece of paper.

The best part? The end of this video was edited to be their save-the-date. What a creative idea, right? Now all their potential wedding guests can experience the excitement of the proposal with them while being informed of when the big day will be. I absolutely love it and just had to share.

What do you think? Are geocaching or scavenger hunt-like proposals too much work or totally worth it?
