How adorable is this bird's eye view of a marriage proposal? Someone managed to catch all of the steps of this happy couple getting engaged --- from the surprised look on her face, to her jumping into his arms, and one final and loving embrace.
This story absolutely takes the cake for effort, talent, and dedication! Illustrator Guy Shield drew up a regular old comic strip for his girlfriend Liz. Then, once all the pieces were drawn out, he asked her to fold up the comic a certain way and... voilà! A unique and utterly adorable marriage proposal.
The pieces below match up with the proposal above, check it out!
In case you haven't heard of Tumblr, it is a social media blogging tool with a heavy and passionate community. Some of us on the OurWeddingDay team even use the website for personal use. So imagine our joy and glee when we logged in last night to see our dashboard (where all Tumblr users are taken once they login) with a giant wedding proposal at the top!
Justin, not only announced his proposal to the entire Tumblr community, but he also included an adorable video (embedded above) just in case she had to think about her answer.
We love grand gestures of love and romance... but does this marriage proposal possibly go too far? In the video above, a man proposes to his girlfriend at Disneyland with a full-on musical! While it is sweet how much he clearly loves her (they met at Disneyland one year before the proposal, aww!), we can't help but wonder how public is too public?
It's not that we're knocking this guy for his grand gesture... is it just us? What do you think? Would you want to be proposed to in front of a giant crowd of people you don't know? Is more really the merrier?
This may be one of the most adorable marriage proposals we've seen to date... and trust us, we've seen a lot. Nathan and his friends found a nearby forest with a grove surrounded by trees. During the day, they set up over 200 battery-powered tea lights and struck then all along the trees.
Later that night, Nathan met Katie on the beach to go for a walk. As they approached the woods Nathan tied his sweater over Katie's eyes and brought her to the lit grove. What is even sweeter is that once he uncovered Katie's eyes Nathan stumbled over his proposal because he was so nervous, and Katie simply kept nodding her head yes unable to speak.
Ever wished your proposal was shared with the world? Who hasn't? Well one lucky couple in New York included not only friends but some entirely unknown people they found on the street to participate.
The groom-to-be set it up so that he and his girlfriend would take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, and as they kept walking, a flurry of people (some friends, some strangers) walked up with pink balloons attached to love notes. They were approached one-by-one until the couple got to the other side of the bridge and he proposed!
Ty Williams, a member of the OurWeddingDay.com team, is in the midst of planning her wedding, and sharing her unique perspective with you in our new weekly feature, Tuesdays with Ty.
Ladies, Ty Williams here with some exciting news to share with you this Tuesday. A few of you may recognize me because I'm the VP of PR and Advertising here at OurWeddingDay.com, but I look forward to getting to know many more of you as I'm proud to say I've finally joined the ranks as an OWD B2B! That's right - I officially became an OurWeddingDay.com bride-to-be on November 26, 2008 on the 4th anniversary of dating Mr. Jon Reed when he proposed at the Park Room restaurant off Central Park.
As you may recall from December's blog post, my older sister tied the knot on November 8, 2008 and became our inspiration to "jump the broom" after four years of an exciting courtship and friendship. (We're pictured above as my sister's Maid of Honor and Groomsman.) But believe it or not, if it weren't for working here I wouldn't know where to begin when it comes to planning my wedding. So every Tuesday I'm going to blog about the newest decisions to be made or to-dos to take care of, and ask for your help in making some crucial decisions. From the dress, to the flowers, to the honeymoon... I want each of you to check in to the blog every Tuesday and give me your votes, picks and feedback for planning my dream wedding in Naples, Florida this coming November 27, 2009.
So in the meantime, check out our website and let me hear from you on the message board. And tune in next week when I share the scoop on the proposal and get your votes on finding the perfect wedding band to compliment the engagement ring.
Ladies - so by now you're 25 steps, 50 to-dos and 100 decisions closer to your wedding day, but do you ever think back and wonder how the man of your dreams posed the most important question of his life?
