FMA San Diego Proposal
Marionne wanted to surprise Kellie with the best proposal possible. Naturally, that involved a few special things: a flashmob, location, and friends and family.
As the flashmob starts, Kellie and Marionne are just observing as anyone would. However, when the “Marry You” song begins, you see Kellie start to get emotional. It’s like she knows. I mean, don’t we all know when something’s for us? My question is this: what if she had been wrong?
Good thing she wasn’t. Around 3:45 Marionne drops to one knee. My only disappointment is that he didn’t join in on the dancing. If you notice, the whole group of flashmobbers is made of women. What’s up with that?
This is so sweet because it took so much effort and planning for all involved. Congrats to the happy couple!

Weird Al Proposal
Christopher and his girlfriend were seeing Weird Al at a concert/convention, and he knew it would be the perfect opportunity to propose for many reasons.
Reason #1: He could get Weird Al in on it.
Reason #2: He could get Darth Vader in on it.
Reason #3: He had a Death Star Engagement ring.
This wasn’t a proposal that Christopher planned with the help of Weird Al and sad Darth Vader. On the contrary, he got to the spot and asked quickly for assistance in a creative way. Well, OK, so Darth Vader was in on it because he handed the ring to Weird Al who then handed it to Christopher. But all Christopher asked Weird Al was if he’d help him improv something pretty cool… and I’d say the artist did swimmingly, wouldn’t you?
I love how after the fact, she’s trying to get rid of the tears for the picture with Weird Al, as if the moment wasn’t special enough– she still gets in on the magic with the artist.
Talk about a match made in heaven. But can I just say: I really wish we got to see the ring in the video.

Classroom Proposal Ideas
School has started and now is the time to surprise your teacher or student loved-one with the proposal of a lifetime. But how do you work that into her busy schedule? Here are a few ideas!
1. Oh Captain, My Captain. Make sure to talk to your sweetie’s boss before going ahead with any of these ideas! Get the gets in on this gig, and it would probably work best with older students. Instead of having them stand on their desks and declare, “Oh Captain, my captain,” (Dead Poets Society, anyone?) have them stand on their desks and hold signs asking THE QUESTION. When they’ve all taken their correct places with signs in tact, enter the room and dramatically drop to one knee.
2. School Supplies. Get your student (or teacher!) significant other a bunch of school supplies. Sit with her as she lovingly goes through them all and tells you how much she appreciates it. At the bottom of the backpack, basket, or whatever you decide to present them in– have the ring box waiting in disguise. A box of crayons, perhaps? Tell her she should inspect the goods, and once she does get down on one knee and ask the question! Or, if that makes you nervous, put a little piece of paper in the bottom that asks the question and then get down on one knee and pull out the ring.
3. Class Flashmob. If you have a lot of classmates or friends in a certain class, then this may be easy to do. If not, stage them for the day. However, always check with the professor before you do it! You may even get him/her in on the gam. Have some music break out, some friends dancing and lip-syncing, and then appear at the last minute to pull your girl on to the stage/floor and propose! This would work best for larger class size, obviously, or in a theatre class if she’s into that kind of thing!

Proposal in Greece
Aspyn and Parker have been together for years. When the two go on a trip to Greece with friends, Parker decided it was the right time to finally get down on one knee.
The two have YouTube channels, so Parker knew it was very important to capture the moment not only for themselves, but their audiences as well. (There’s a “behind the scenes” video as well as the one posted below.) Parker made a video documenting their relationship to string with his actual proposal, telling everyone just how nervous he was. As Aspyn emerges from their lodgings in Greece, she sees that Parker has set up their patio for a “date.” He even made her food, which apparently is a feat in itself because Aspyn seems to be a picky eater. Around 2:30, we get to see Parker drop to one knee for the big moment.
The only thing about proposing while you’re eating, is if you ask your girl to stand up for a minute… I think it’s pretty obvious what’s coming. “Wait, let me interrupt your eating to make you stand up so I can comfortably tell you how much I love you before awkwardly getting out of my chair as well to get down on one knee.”
Not bashing the moment. This is beautiful. Congrats, you guys!

Jeremy Kyle Show Proposal
This British TV show is much like any we’ll see during the day in the US. So when this couple is brought on the show to talk about their relationship troubles, we get a reality check as to what trouble really looks like. After this man was sent to prison after getting caught doing something try to “better their situation,” his lady-love cheated on him because she didn’t trust him anymore. Well, that was almost the end of the line… but the couple still saw their relationship through.
So she took a lie detector test to prove that she hadn’t cheated on him again, and that he should have trusted her all along. After Jeremy Kyle reads her results (and she passed with flying colors), she rips up the cards and storms off the stage. But it isn’t over yet.
Around 3:20 he drops to one knee, telling her he loves her and she’s proved she didn’t cheat again. He says please over and over again, and even the host offers a few laughs when he’s like, “Can you give him an answer, then?”
Through it all, though, she loves him… and that’s why she says, “yes.” I have to admit, I was surprised. This guy must have had the element or surprise and TV cameras on his side.

Santorini Promotional Proposal
Haley and David were planning to travel to Santorini, a lifetime dream of both of theirs. When they received a letter from the hotel they were staying at asking for couples to volunteer to be part of a promotional project including photos and videos, they decided to participate.
What Haley didn’t know, was that David was planning the whole thing, and it wasn’t a promotional thing at all– it was for his proposal.
After a romantic evening spent on a sunset cruise, Haley had an idea that this could be “the moment,” but the filming crew reassured her that this was just for their promotional video, and David assured her half-heartedly that this wasn’t the time.
The following day she received a massage and the opportunity to get her nails and hair done through this “promotional project.” The VIP treatment was continued into the evening when the couple was asked to take photos in the area, leading up to a mountain view that was near the hotel. As they were there, Haley’s attention was directed to two people holding a banner with the proposal printed on it. And when she turned back to David, there he was on one knee.
This video is very promotional-esque, but it’s something the two will have for the rest of their lives to remember David’s set-up. I’d call that a win!

She Learned to Scuba Dive for Her Proposal
Mark wanted to go above and beyond to propose to Sarah. Once she came up with her plan, she knew that she had truly done her job to make her girlfriend’s proposal amazing.
Sarah is a Marine Biologiest, and Markie, well… she didn’t know how to scuba dive. So to propose to her girlfriend, she thought it only made sense to show her just how much she loved her– by getting certified to scuba dive! She surprised Sarah, who thought she was on a dive with other friends, under water with a signs. She said she’d go to the bottom of the ocean ocean for her love… but right now she was only certified to 60 feet. How cute is that?
Unable to speak, Sarah nods her head enthusiastically and gives Markie a big thumbs up before they can surface and do the usual celebrating with a hug, a kiss, and…you know… fresh air to breathe.
In the end, she proposes again on shore and we get a shot of that beautiful ring! What an amazing story to get to tell family and friends down the line.
A Smile-Worthy Proposal
Tanner wanted to propose to Bri, and decided the cutest way to do it would be at her work. He went to see the dentist (who was, of course, in on the coo) and acted like it was a normal check-up for his teeth. While Bri was busy doing her job, the dentist and other hygienist assistants arranged everything for the big moment.
Bri leaves the room to get some things the dentist has requested. When she does, her coworkers get busy- fast! They grab a spit cloth (that’s the proper term there) that says “Marry Me?” and put a ring up on the screen for her to see as she walks out (1:48). She seems confused, but to me there’s a flicker in her eye that says, “This is it!”
This is one time, I imagine, that Tanner didn’t mind going to the dentist!

Wildwood Flash Mob Proposal
Frankie wanted to propose to Tiffany in a very special way. First he had to enlist the help of Tiffany’s son, Aidan (his soon-to-be stepson). He asked Aidan for his blessing to marry his mom, and Aidan exclaims, “I’ve been waiting for so long!” Um, tears in the first two minutes?
Frankie flies Tiffany’s dad out for the moment, which is coming as a surprise. Tiffany’s friend spilled the beans that Frankie was going to propose, but Tiffany thought it was going to be at a family barbecue. Boy was she in for a surprise! Because it wasn’t at a Barbecue. It was in front of many more people than that.
Around 2:39 the flashmob starts, mixed with footage of the practice for it. What makes this flash mob so special is not just that the song actually has meaning to the couple (Tiffany used to cry over the flashmob proposals which is why Frankie wanted to propose this way), but the people who are dancing are all friends and family. Even if it gives the game away, it makes it so much more memorable for the couple– and especially Tiffany!
When Frankie comes through the parted friends and family at 6:08 (right after we see Tiffany hug her dad), he immediately drops to one knee. Thankfully, no one is surprised when she says yes!
