Marriage Proposals

This guy definitely went to a lot of trouble to propose to his girlfriend. He wrote a song, made a music video, flew her to Australia and arranged to have it played at the end of another video at a giant party with all of his friends. Sincerely, how would you say no to that?

When YouTube user Eddie Zarick wanted to propose to his girlfriend, as an electronics geek and 'Iron Man' nerd, he wanted to make it an extra-special occasion. His girlfriend had always been very supportive of his work with electronics and she is also a huge fan of 'Iron Man.' Thus, Eddie's nickname of "Tony Stark" was born.

If there's anything the internet loves, it's a creative marriage proposal. Now that the best ones end up on YouTube for all to see, it has become harder and harder to come up with a truly unique proposal. But that doesn't mean it's impossible.

This is one heck of a magic trick. Using only his hands and the natural elements around him, Sean used his magic to change Andrea from a girlfriend into ... a fiancee!

It isn't every day that you see a wedding proposal with so many layers of nerdery. Not only are Joe and Emily, a New Jersey couple, both dressed like characters from Peanuts -- he proposed with a custom ring that looks like R2-D2. And this video has both.

We've seen our share of cruel pranks before, but this one, where a small plane pilot fakes mechanical problems while proposing to his girlfriend, reaches all new lows (er, heights). After all, nothing says wedded bliss like the threat of dying in a fiery plane crash.

Dean Cain proved that he is still a hero even without his Superman costume last week. He was scheduled to speak about his years playing the Man of Steel on the hit television show 'Lois and Clark' at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, when friends of New Yorker Ruby Rinesko and his girlfriend of 11 years, Jennifer Haviland, approached him with their delightfully nerdy engagement plan.

Nathan Bluestein came up with a novel way to propose to his girlfriend, May Gorial. Unfortunately the romantic gesture literally swept her away...

Before popping the question to his girlfriend, Russian man Alexey Bykov wanted to give her a quick taste of what her life would be like without him. So the 30-year-old businessman hired a stuntman, a make-up artist, actors and even a screenwriter to help him fake his own death.

If you're planning to win the hand of an Olympic gymnast who doesn't even know you, it's going to take a little bit more than some candy, we just learned. A fan got down on one knee (good start) and pulled out a Ring Pop (aaaand there it goes) before asking Aly Raisman if she would marry him. Mighty presumptuous of this guy, although, to be fair, she did take the candy.

'You Don't Know Jack' has been a popular game series since it debuted in the mid-'90s. Currently, it's ruining worker productivity on Facebook. But the game with the sarcastic announcer and brutal difficulty curve has a soft center as this video demonstrates.

On Tuesday, pilot Mark Simmons was towing a marriage proposal behind his small plane when he suddenly experienced engine problems and crashed off Rhode Island's Block Island. Uh oh! We hope this isn't a bad wedding omen.

Although wedding couples dancing to Michael Jackson songs are common, we haven't come across many making wedding proposals with the help of the late "King of Pop." Enter Craig Jones, who recently proposed to his girlfriend Allison using a flash mob in New York's Bryant Park to the Michael Jackson classic 'The Way You Make Me Feel.'

Leave it to an Englishman to make the 2012 Olympic torch run one of the cutest moments in the history of the games.

Mallary Snodgrass got the surprise of her life when her boyfriend Will Staney took her to a Foster the People concert in Austin on Tuesday. She thought Staney was able to score backstage passes from a friend, but it turns out he planned the whole thing with the band so that he could propose center stage in front of an audience of thousands. And the whole thing started with a tweet.
