Once the crowd gets the routine sorted and are dancing away happily, his girlfriend Emily (also an instructor) comes up on stage to dance with him and lo and behold, he pops the question \u2013 much to her delighted amazement and the shouts and cheers of the crowd. This one takes some confidence and chutzpah but it really works and is emotional in all the right ways!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">A surprise trip to New York<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u201cI proposed to my girlfriend using deceit, lies and trickery.\u201d Actually, it was a lot more romantic than it sounds \u2013 in fact he had two, rather than one big surprise lined up. The first was that his girlfriend was convinced they were going to Paris for their break, and it wasn\u2019t until they got to the airport and Andy produced her passport and a beret that she discovered that they were actually going to New York!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Then he sets things up just so he can propose in Times Square and film the whole thing \u2013 and really takes her by surprise yet again. How impressive!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0As if by magic<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">A proposal should always be magical, but this one might take the cake! David enlisted the help of magician and street performer to help him pop the question in Las Vegas his girlfriend Mary really had no idea this was going to happen. She\u2019s completely amazed \u2013 in all the right ways!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">April Fool\u2019s!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Timing is definitely a key part of planning a proposal. One man took a bit of a chance proposing on April Fool\u2019s Day \u2013 his girlfriend\u2019s first response is, \u201cThis better not be a joke!\u201d. She doesn\u2019t look convinced until he finally pulls out the ring!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">His girlfriend is crazy about dogs and always admired the puppies she saw on their walks together in Hyde Park, which gave the groom-to-be in question an idea. He got some special little coats made for three puppies professing his love and popped the question that way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Working it out<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Proposing to your girlfriend whilst she\u2019s at work isn\u2019t always the best idea \u2013 unless she\u2019s a teacher and you can get her cute pupils involved!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">That\u2019s the idea this groom-to-be had \u2013 he made them all hold up letters spelling out his proposal and briefed them before his girlfriend entered the class.\u00a0 It\u2019s a really sweet idea, and of course all ends well.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are two types of people when it comes to marriage proposals; there\u2019s the type of person who says that a proposal should be a private, intimate moment between two people in love that should reflect their time together.
