Top 3 Seriously Outrageous Proposal Ideas

It cannot be denied that there is a whole lot riding on your decision on how to propose. You can try to alleviate some of this insane pressure by deciding that there is just one way to go and one only; go big, and the bigger the better. Throw all those worries and inhibitions to the wind and let your creative juices flow. Here are the top three most outrageous ways to pop that simple four word question, and just remember that the sky’s the limit.

Every Girl Loves a Bad Boy

Apparently, one of the most popular proposal ideas out there today (and you know this was thought up by a man) is to arrange to get yourself arrested. Now this should preferably be a pre-arranged fake arrest that makes use of any connections that you might have with the boys in blue. For the ultimate impact, try to arrange a high-speed car chase (NOT during rush hour) with multiple panda cars in pursuit.

When they finally take you down and slap the handcuffs on you, your girlfriend should be somewhere between flustered and hysterical. Have the arresting officer declare (loud enough so she can hear it) that you are under arrest for being desperately in love with ‘insert-girlfriend’s-name’. Have them read you your rights (which you have edited in preparation for the event) to love and cherish her for all eternity. Sounds like fun, right? How could she say ‘No’?

Flash Mob Style

Ok, so it has been done before but the overall impact remains suitably impressive. When figuring out how to propose, the key elements that will probably secure an affirmative answer are originality, personalisation and creativity. This is where the idea of organising a flash mob comes into its own. The whole spectacle including the soundtrack, choreography and location can be intimately customised to reflect significant elements in your relationship combines with your girlfriend’s specific interests.

The best way to go about organising this truly epic and impressive event is to use one of the performing arts groups that offer this as a service. This is probably not something that your everyday novice can knock together with a few mates from the pub, the postman and that lady from the laundrette, so go with the pros and your bride-to-be will be duly wowed.

Propose Among the Stars

If public dance sessions or warrants for your arrest simply do not do justice to the depth of your love, there is one, probably the biggest and the best, proposal idea to consider. Why not shoot for the stars, literally?

For the bargain price of just £310k you can book two seats on the very first commercial flight into outer space. This package deal will secure you luxury accommodation prior to your flight at the various training facilities around the world, located in places such as the Swiss Alps, the Caribbean and Morocco. It’s like killing two birds with one stone; be among the world’s first pioneer astronauts and propose to your loved one while orbiting Earth. This one has top points for its wow factor.
