The most unusual proposal...

If you want to propose to the one you love, do it properly!

We have many grooms-to-be who contact us for ideas on how they can propose to their beloved. The most common request is to arrange a beautiful candle light dinner for 2 on the beach but the possibilities are limitless...

The list on how to create a romantic or original proposal is literally limitless and there are always new and creative and unique ideas...  

We've had grooms that called their fiance in the room to come down to reception immediately and propose to her in the lobby with the hotel staff bringing a bottle of champagne and taking photos, we've had photo sessions and the ring happened to be found on the beach or in some flowers in the garden, divers who came out of the ocean and surprised the lucky lady, a message in the bottle that was washed up on the beach, a small plane with a banner popping the question, engagement rings frozen into an ice cube, the list goes on and on.... but nothing prepared me for this young man! Talk about being creative and think outside the box! 

I just had a young man from Austria who contacted me because he wanted to propose to his girlfriend. He was eager to come up with something different so we discussed various options over a coffee at Starbucks. Everything was set for the morning of the following day. 

He decided that he wanted to take her for a walk on the beach and hide the engagement ring in a big conch shell. So that nobody would take the shell, I sat nearby pretending to be a sunbathing tourist to could keep an eye on things and take some photos when the moment arrived....

I waited and waited but 'my' couple was nowhere to be seen....

Contemplating on what to do next, I eventually saw the groom-to-be running alone towards me around 30 minutes later. He doubled over to catch his breath, then he looked at me and just blurted out, "Plan abandoned, she's sick!"

Worried what had happened I asked him if she was all right. 

He explained that they all went out the night before and unfortunately the lady of his dreams had a few tequilas too many and was suffering from a monster hangover. 

I told him that I was really sorry to hear that and was just about to tell him that we could postpone it all until the next day when he replied interrupted me breathlessly, "Not a problem, I've just come to get the ring. It's not all down the pan but I didn't want to wait any longer, so whilst she was sleeping, I took her lipstick and wrote on the inside of the toilet lid 'Will you marry me?' She got up when she felt sick again and when she opened the toilet lid she saw the question, moaned and said 'yes' before returning to the bathroom... so I've just come back to get the ring.... but she's much better now!"

I am happy to say that I let them be after supplying him with some aspirin and some rehydrating drinks from the pharmacy...

Although he didn't plan it like this, I guess the most important thing for any proposal is that it comes from the heart! She seemed to agree because they called me up today freshly engaged, happy and feeling great to book their wedding with us next year - No tequilas though!
