The LEGO Proposal Video You Absolutely Have To Watch

There’s nothing we love more than a great proposal story, especially when it’s caught on video. Add in some iconic building blocks we’ve grown up loving and the aww-factor is pretty much through the roof. Atlanta photographer and videographer, Walt Thompson spent two and a half days shooting 2,600 photos for this adorable stop motion proposal video for his girlfriend of four years, Nealey Dozier. The video chronicles their lives together, including fine details like the clothes they were wearing when they met and Dozier preparing food as a freelance food writer while Thompson photographed her. In their own living room Thompson played the video and waited until the very end to get down on one knee and pop the question with a ring box containing a LEGO bride and groom.

New Video: Downtown Disney Flashmob Proposal

This genius proposal video was just posted on YouTube a few days ago and it’s already surpassed the 100,000 viewers mark. Give it a few more days and, there’s no doubt in our minds that it will go viral and pass the 1 million viewers record. And, why not? It’s got the makings of the perfect engagement story: a romantic location (in Disney) coupled with an amazing song in the background (Bruno Mars’ ‘Marry You’). The first part shows Jamin (the groom-to-be) explaining his whole idea/concept to the world. But, to see the magic in action, scroll straight to the 1:25 mark–trust us you won’t want to miss this!

Will Survivor Star Ethan Zohn Propose on the Amazing Race?

Survivor champs Ethan Zohn (he won Survivor Africa) and Jenna Morasca (she won Survivor Amazon)  have been dating for eight years during which time they faced their greatest challenge of all: Zohn’s battle with Hodgkin’s disease. Fortunately, Zohn is now cancer-free and ready to embark on a new adventure with the love of his life. The dynamic duo will appear on hit reality show The Amazing Race (season premiere September 25 on CBS), and rumour has it an on-air proposal could be in the works. Indeed, Zohn told People Magazine: “If we’re repelling off the Eiffel Tower and I can get to a zip tie and make it into the form of a ring, I might put it on her finger.” That would certainly make an amazing story to tell their grandchildren! Will you be tuning in? And speaking of proposals, do you have a wacky engagement story you’d like to share? We’d love to hear your romantic tale!

Greatest Marriage Proposal.. EVER!

This is a video you’ve got to see! Creative, romantic–maybe a bit over-the-top–but something you’re bound to love nonetheless. Here’s what Matt, the boyfriend proposing in this video had to say:

My girlfriend Ginny gets taken to the movie theater to see “Fast Five”. After a preview for the Hangover 2, a trailer for a movie comes on. A trailer I made of her father and I where I ask her father for her hand in marriage. After he gives me permission, I race off to the theater she is at to ask her to marry me. What she doesn’t know is our family and friends are in the theater with her watching the whole thing, along with about 100 strangers ;-)

Enjoy!

How William Popped the Question

Mount Kenya

We love hearing about how he proposed and when it came to the royal couple, there’s no doubt we definitely wanted the scoop. According to Hello Magazine, the romantic gesture happened during their trip to Kenya this past October. William took Kate by a secluded lake on the slopes of Mount Kenya. It is speculated William borrowed a helicopter to fly there, as the two lakes — Lake Alice and Lake Michaelson — are only accessible via air. With the backdrop of the Rift Valley, 12,500ft above sea level, William asked Kate’s hand in marriage, giving her the stunning sapphire engagement ring, which was his mother’s.

Hollywood is in Love

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about Hollywood couples getting engaged or married, simply because there was a little bit of a lull. Welcome summer and there have been engagements and weddings left and right! The most surprising elopement to me was Calista Flockheart and Harrison Ford. While they have been together for more than eight years (and a quiet engagement), I still never thought they’d take the plunge. Where and when you ask? On Tuesday in New Mexico where Ford is on set filming, says People.com. The two exchanged vows in the Governor’s Mansion, with the Governor performing the ceremony and the Chief Justice making it legal. Simple, but we say if it’s how you want it, then it’s perfect.
