This creative gentleman in Roanoke, Virginia, won a contest from a newspaper and got to splash his proposal all over the front page of the Roanoke Times. His girlfriend said yes, but the first persons to hear her were the clerks at a local DeliMart where she bought a newspaper (after getting a call from a co-worker who tipped her off).

Placing a wedding proposal in a newspaper is fun, relatively creative, and a very good attention-getter. Just make sure your girlfriend actually reads the paper. ;)

The Good News: A Chinese fellow named Zang proposed successfully to his girlfriend on a hot-air balloon.

The not-so-good news: Zang didn’t quite work his proposal through. After joining a balloon club and planning for months, the Guangdong native arranged for a hot-air balloon to fly them up over a golf course, but apparently, he didn’t prepare contigency for the crowd that would inevitably gather. Golf course guards wouldn’t let him and his girlfriend take off.

“It will ruin my whole life if you stop the balloon from taking off,” he allegedly told the guards. (How sweet.)

When Zang finally got his wish and his engagement ring onto his special lady’s finger, his special proposal made it into the Nanfang Metropolis.

Here’s a very good article from CareerJournal, reprinted from the Wall Street Journal Online, explaining why – as we have to our clients – public wedding proposals aren’t always better

Here’s a cute story about a 34-year-old Filipino man proposing to his 29-year-old girlfriend aboard a Cebu Pacific flight, Valentine’s Day 2007.
We won’t spoil the story, but we will say that this is proof you don’t need a big budget to make for a memorable proposal. Gretchen Montelibano said “Yes” to Francisco Torno III’s sweet, down-to-earth – pun intended – proposal.

According to Cebu Pacific personnel, it was the third proposal on board their flights. The first two were on Valentine’s Day 1999 and 2005.

Okay, Perfect Proposals suggested something like this in our upcoming book, but as it turns out, for as long as we’re not in print, we can’t claim dibs on it. Hahaha.

A Seattle man proposed to his girlfriend using a commercial aired during Veronica Mars, her favorite television show.  She said yes immediately afterward.

Thinking of doing a TV ad of your own? We’d love to help you come up with something different from your typical Wowowee ad spot. ;)

Hours after he proposed to Victorine Tabog on New Year’s Day, 40-year-old American Stephen Mujerm apparently knocked her out with a blow to her head with a steering wheel lock.

This is why we always recommend asking yourself, “Am I ready for marriage?;)

From a less-than-neat Halloween treat to a cinematic proposal that comes with no less than Superman himself, TheKnot.com presents the 10 Best Wedding Proposals of 2006.

We discovered this spectacular gem on YouTube. It’s a fantastic way to propose, in our opinion, especially if you’ve got 20 student animators working with/for you. ;)

If you’d like to do something like this, a little birdie tells us the students of the De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde Multimedia Arts Program are phenomenal animators. The seniors, in particular, may be looking for thesis ideas – why not tap their talent and see if you can convince them to make an animated proposal video for them for scale? Hey, it’s a different idea for them, it’s a cost-effective way for you… what’s wrong with that?

Oh, and if you need help with a script, send us an email and we’ll whip up a special package just for you. Best of luck!
