1 : Google Maps proposal

In at number 1 today we have this classic marriage proposal as reported by Elizabeth Furey of Heavy.com. As she reports: “Michael Weiss-Malik harnessed the powers of Google, where he works, to stage his proposal”. Indeed this was an ingenious way to propose to his wife which he cleverly coined “Proposal 2.0”. The reason for this is that they were already married as she had said yes already. In his words he wished to “upgrade” the proposal and being a Google employee, the one and only time that google advised people of an imminent street view vehicle photo shoot Michael made this sign and re-proposed to Leslie. Proof that even with the internet in modern times romance isn’t dead! You can check out this event on his website.

2 : Proposal in the sand

When artist Andres Amador was commissioned by Jason Fordley, allegedly “one of the most romantic men in San Francisco” to do the amazing sand art installation on Ocean beach California it was quite the spectacle. At the time it made news across the world for its originality and artistic design. As you can see from the picture it really is something special and the lucky lady, Kelly apparently adored it! As the story goes Jason took Kelly to the top of a hill nearby and popped the question, How could she say no? It was all followed by dinner and a beach party making it a natural choice for the number 2 slot.

3 : The flash mob proposal

The Americana in Glendale CA became the venue for one of the most lavish and well planned wedding proposals ever recorded. Recently the phenomenon of flash mobbing has swept across the US, Europe and further afield. If you don’t know what it is watch the video link below and you’ll get the idea. Groups of normal, everyday people rehearse elaborate, choreographed dance routines for a number of week or months. Then one day, suddenly and without warning they descend on public places like train stations or main shopping areas. Acting as simple bystanders soon as the music starts they fall into position and do their carefully planned routine to the surprise and sometimes sheer shock of the general public. The couple featured below took this idea to a new level and actually made a romantic and touching wedding proposal from it. You can see the whole thing on you tube
