Video: Best marriage proposal ever

May 27, 2012 @ 8:19 am

Using the song "Marry You" by Bruno Mars to pop the question isn't very original, but we've never seen a proposal like this.

Portland actor Isaac Lamb shocked his girlfriend Amy Frankel when he gathered more than 60 friends and family members together to help him with an elaborate proposal. A few who couldn't make it pop up on laptops.

Proposal

The parents are adorable, the friends are cool and it all happens before the bride-to-be's eyes as she slowly rolls down a Portland street in the back of a Honda listening to the song and watching what happens next:

    I admire the work/thought he put into this and he must have known that his girlfriend would have enjoyed it... but never in a million years would I want anything this public. For me, super awkward but great job for her and them. Congrats!

    Makes me smile, but I'm too private for this. Guarantee they'll be on the Today Show or GMA this week.

    I don't like watching these kinds of videos, but I did actually enjoy this one. I had to turn it off at the end when he was proposing because I don't like watching someone's private moments like that. It makes me uncomfortable even while watching from a computer!

    ...how long they stay together. My money is on.....not too long. Commitment and true love is not about putting on a show for the world but just for the one you truly love. Even if he wanted it to be grand, why shoot a video? And even if he wanted the video to remember it later in life why make it public? Same can be said about big extravagant weddings. If you need that much attention for your "special day" it wasn't very special and most end in divorce.

    If this guy has that kind of sensitivity there is no way he's going to do anything to cause a divorce. She is a lucky gal and I'm sure he's a lucky guy. I only wish I had part of his imagination to do these kinds of things for my wife. She'd kill me for it but she'd love it.
