What would make one say, Yes, I'll marry you?
I say a well-orchestrated marriage proposal won't hurt that chance.
Regardless if some are not looking forward to say I do, I'm sure you'll be swept off your feet once you learned these celebrity proposals.
Brides.com has listed the celebrity proposals that truly toppled the countless proposals in tinseltown and as well as in politics. Though in my view, showbusiness and politics seem to blend and the celebrities and politicians jump over each other's fences at an almost regular basis. These marriage proposals went beyond the orthodox ways and those who popped the question made sure that the answer will only be yes.
John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Bouvier
He proposed to her two years after they met a dinner party in Georgetown University. On the night she got home before leaving for her Europe beat, she was welcomed by a, emerald-diamond engagement ring. Now, isn't that a shoe in? Surely, he knew that the way to a girl's heart is through her friends, and a diamond is a woman's BFF.
Johnny Cash and June Carter
Yes, they were the ones that were immortalized in the movie Walk the line. He proposed to her at the middle of his concert. The audience thought it was just an act. But, it wasn't! Since then, many had followed the lead. But nothing beats the original.
Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly
This is somewhat unconventional yet traditional for those who have royal blood. He proposed to her through a friend, which was in accordance to royalty custom that a Prince does not arrange his marriage. Good thing she didn't fall for the friend. But hey, if your guy is real-life prince, even a video would woo me. But then again, I haven't met any one from any royal family.
Seal and Heidi Klum
The air was not the warmest which is the supposed-to-be feel for a proposal. He proposed to the German supermodel standing on an igloo 14,000 feet above sea level. Talk about getting the chills.
Now, their story is the traditional candlelit dinner. But, here's the catch, it was in Buckingham Palace that went with an 18-carat sapphire ring embedded with diamonds.
Nick Cannon and Selita Ebanks
Now, what do men see in Victoria's Secret angels? He proposed to her right in the heart of Times Square. Both of them were lost in words as the words, Selita, will you marry me?, were etched in the Mtv jumbotron. Talk about shouting your love to the whole world.
This Friends star got the proposal of a lifetime. They had the spark, literally. Fireworks were in the air the very moment he asked for her hand in marriage in a beach in Florida.
Jordan Bratman and Christina Aguilera
She went on an almost wild goose chase as she opened a dozen of boxes not really knowing what to look for because every box had a different gift and a poem. And she definitely got THE find of her life, the ring.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
A proposal in the most romantic city in the world can almost get the wedding bells rolling. On top of that, she said yes at the top of the Eiffel tower. Is that the most romantic or what?
Ryan Philippe and Reese Witherspoon
His proposal definitely made her wanted to wake up even if she had the sweetest dream. He asked her to walk down the aisle on bed filled with strawberries and cream.
Well, some of these wedding proposals didn't have the the happily ever after scenario. But I know that it was good while it lasted. Even those of us who haven't been tied the knot would agree that the most important thing is that you love the person for reasons you can't comprehend. That it doesn't matter how your love began, but how it goes. But a heart melting proposal will never hurt.
