Do You Like This Story?

Sweet tears of joy, this is a lovely video.

This is no ordinary proposal – and it should come as no surprise that the man who created it is an actor. Isaac Lamb shocked his girlfriend Amy Frankel when he organised for 60 of his closest family and friends to dance and lip sync to the tune of Bruno Mars’ “Marry You” to set up his ultimate question: will you marry me?

Is it the best marriage proposal ever?

    Am I the only one who thinks this song is actually an awful choice for a proposal? Ever actually listened to the words??

    It’s a beautiful night,
    We’re looking for something dumb to do.
    Hey baby,
    I think I wanna marry you.

    Is it the look in your eyes,
    Or is it this dancing juice?
    Who cares baby,
    I think I wanna marry you.

    Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go,
    No one will know,
    Oh, come on, girl.
    Who cares if we’re trashed got a pocket full of cash we can blow,
    Shots of patron,
    And it’s on, girl.

    Is it the look in your eyes,
    Or is it this dancing juice?
    Who cares baby,
    I think I wanna marry you.

    I’ll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh,
    So what you wanna do?
    Let’s just run girl.

    If we wake up and you wanna break up that’s cool.
    No, I won’t blame you;
    It was fun, girl.

    Yeah… I want to commit my life to someone who thinks marriage is a dumb, fun thing to do when you’re smashed – because you can just annul it in the morning.
    Awesome.

    This is the proposal my partner did for me. It was emotionally exhausting but one of the best days of my life (except the arrival of my kids!). Thought I might share

    Wow. I loved it. Watching this video really hurts my cheeks. I could not stop smiling. My stupid cat was trying to distract me with acting crazy)
    Best proposal! Loved that all her friends and family were involved.

    My husband showed me this yesterday. I cried! I don’t cry. Ever! Too too beautiful. What brought me undone was the lap tops with the nearest and dearest who couldn’t be there.
    Oh bugger! I’m crying again.

    I’m not saying that it isn’t good, but definitely not the best proposal ever. For mine you can’t beat Sid Ceasar’s muppet proposal. It has a long back story but well worth the read before watching the proposal

      That is the cutest thing I have EVER seen! God, I hope my boyfriend is that creative when he proposes. If I were male, I’d probably do one of those out-there proposals, too. :)

    Cute but I wouldn’t want everyone else to know that he was going to ask me before he asked me. And it seems weird too that so many people were involved. A marriage is between you and your partner. It’s like she is getting asked by all her friends.

    I would just die if someone did that to me. Grand gestures make me extremely uncomfortable. But then I guess I wouldn’t date someone who would do that in the first place hahaha

      No Anonymous, it’s genuine – both of their FB profiles feature photo’s of them together and support the info about their jobs, and were created many years ago – I’m pretty sure they didn’t both create fake profiles in 2008 anticipating it!! Not to mention they’re doing interviews on some big shows in the US as a result. You can also recognise a lot of the people from the video on in pics on their friends list.
