The perfect engagement ring for Mila Kunis and Katy Perry
The rumor mill is in full swing expecting Ashton Kutcher and John Mayer to propose to their talented girlfriends. Picking the right ring for your girl lifestyle and personality is really important. Ashton and John, if you are reading this, here are our suggestions.
Mila Kunis always looks polished and stunning on the red carpet yet she is known to be very laid back in her everyday life. We don’t expect her to get a huge sparkler but something special, romantic and unique. Mila is originally from Ukraine and appreciates the old continent art and culture. We would recommend this ring from Simon G for her. It has a vintage and floral feel. It is very special:
It will be Katy Perry’s second wedding. Her first engagement ring was in yellow gold so we expect her new one to be in platinum. Katy Perry is a girly girl with a lot of personality. She will be able to carry a unique setting with a large sparkler. She loves color. Our pick for her would be fancy yellow engagement ring such as this one from Fusaro. A unique pink or light blue sapphire center would also be a great choice.

Birthday Clues Proposal
Matt had been planning for quite a while an outstanding proposal for Marissa. Taking steps such as letting her think he’s going to work, and in reality he’s going ring shopping with his sisters, to having several friends and family members make her believe they weren’t going to be present for her birthday.
Her birthday finally arrives, and after a romantic dinner for two the clues begin. A limo arrives with clue number one, and the clues continue as they pick up close friends and their sisters.
In the end, she’s lead to the location of her surprise birthday/proposal party. I’m pretty sure everyone doesn’t know the surprise, because the screams and cheers when Matt drops to one knee are pretty phenomenal.
His proposal starts at 5:15, and I personally think you should watch the whole thing. But if you just want to hear the screams and exclamations and see him drop to one knee, you can skip ahead to about 7:20 (to hear the tail-end of his poem/speech).

An Emotional Flash Mob Proposal
I can’t get enough of all the flash mob proposals. Call me a dork, but none of them are the same and they are definitely a crowd pleaser!
Matt went above and beyond to plan one for his girlfriend, Catherine. She was told she was needed to help “break the ice” at the grand opening of their new hair salon, The Cut House (in Lafayette, LA). When she was asked to sit, however, you see her start noticing that friends and family are appearing to be part of this beautiful flash mob.
Matt appears around 2:38, where Catherine is also being escorted down the center of all the participants by none other than her dad, as if resembling their wedding day to come. This was my favorite part. What a way to make everyone a part of this.
Catherine’s tears don’t seem to stop, and who could blame her? It seems anybody who’s anybody to her is part of the proposal, and Matt tops it off with his speech before finally asking the question.
If you couldn’t tell on the video, she said yes.

Magician Helps Man Propose
Justin is a magician in Las Vegas and received an e-mail from a fan, Xavier, who asked for his help proposing to his girlfriend, Cecy. After a few experiments with tricks, he finally decides on one to help his fan. And it is definitely crazy to watch.
The trick begins at 1:35, and Xavier (after a few surprises/tricks from Justin) drops to one knee to a stunned Cecy, who of course accepts his proposal.
To me, this is a little weird. I mean, it’s awesome and totally unique… but my engagement ring coming out of some random magicians throat (supposedly)? No, thank you.

Helicopter Proposal
Lisa is an aspiring photo-stylist wanting to build her portfolio. Luckily, she has some awesome connections. She contacted her friend, Bradley, a commercial helicopter pilot, about helping her set up a shoot on top of a mountain. He agreed, only to hear from Dave (Lisa’s boyfriend) the next day asking if he could “steal the shoot” and enlist Bradley’s help in planning his proposal to Lisa. Of course, Bradley agreed.
After a lot of work, the plans were set. Lisa unknowingly spent who knows how much time preparing for her shoot, while Bradley, Dave, and a few others did the same. After dropping Dave at the location for the big event, Bradley went to get Lisa and her photographer, model, etc. When the helicopter comes in, only to see Dave waiting for them Lisa’s reaction (around 2:13) is priceless.
Dave drops to one knee around 2:40. Talk about a scenic location!
I only hope that Lisa was still able to get some pictures for her portfolio! While I would be beyond excited for the proposal, I admittedly would still want to make sure I got my work done after all the planning/preparation!

Halloween Proposal
Hope you all had a fabulous Halloween! How is it November already?
Alberto decided to take advantage of the atmosphere of the holiday and propose to his girlfriend, Amber. I love how they are dressed up from the 1920s. How cute are they?
If you had to have a Halloween proposal, how would you want it to happen?
Now, on to the true “holiday season” stuff!

Josh Groban Concert Proposal
Josh Groban had a Q&A session during his concert in Toronto that took a turn that he did not expect. An audience member named Todd took the opportunity to propose to his girlfriend.
No one looks more surprised than Josh Groban himself, who embraces the moment during and afterwards. Talk about a special moment for a large audience to be involved in!
Somewhat awkward and hilarious is that the couple is basically standing on the little stage making out, and Groban goes and taps them on the shoulder as if to remind them just where they are. He also, apparently, accepts a proposal from a random girl in the audience. Gutsy, romantic, and funny–what a great proposal!

Ciara shares pictures of engagement ring!
Over the weekend musical artists Ciara and Future got engaged. Future proposed to his fiance over her birthday weekend on Sunday. The two have been together for about a year.
But let’s focus on this beauty, shall we? Ciara shared a pic of her engagement ring on Instagram.
The ring is a 15-carat masterpiece by Avianne & Co. I’d say he did an excellent job, wouldn’t you?
E! Online also grabbed this beauty from Ciara herself, modeling her engagement ring in her bathrobe. I would definitely be sporting that same smile of hers if I had a ring like hers!
