But nowadays people seem to be going bigger and bigger with their engagement plans. Gone are the days of a simple meal where the ring is hidden in the cake. Here are some of the more unusual proposals that have occurred over the years:

  • A fake fashion shoot – An ex-rugby star decided that the best way to propose to his girlfriend, who was a model, was to send her off on a photoshoot to an Italian island called Favigana. This was, of course, a fake photoshoot. He enlisted the help of the hotel staff to present his girlfriend with an iPad filled with a slideshow of images of the couple together. He also included a video of him traveling to Sweden to ask her father for his permissions to marry her. As she sat watching the end of the footage he appeared in person in the hotel room to surprise her with the proposal. Over a million people have watched the YouTube footage of this proposal.
  • Super Mario Obsession – one obsessed super Mario fan when to the trouble of decorating an entire room to look like the backdrop of the popular game and even positioned a yellow cube hanging from the ceiling where he positioned his girlfriend underneath before getting down on one knee and asking her that all-important question.
