A quick scroll on Instagram will show you the A-list world in a way that seems truly picture-perfect. Elegant lit images, optimal cropping, and more than a filter or two elevates good into something great. The only problem is knowing how much of it is real.
When you’re looking for real, genuine, and authentic content, looking at the proposals of the rich and famous people is the best way to do it. Deep inside, they’re real people just like you and I, which means their true personality and feelings always shine through when they’re expressing love for their partner.
Let’s take a closer look so that you can see everything what´s going on in this truly beautiful world.
Rebel Wilson & Ramona Agruma
Disneyland is a place where magic happens and dreams come true, and that was certainly true for this loved up couple. One of the world’s greatest comedy actors and her incredible partner have caused quite a storm, and for good reason. If you add in the wholesome, charming way that they got engaged, you can see why!
By having a moment touched by timeless magic, you can create memories that will feel like they are hanging in the air. It’s a tried and tested way to bring some truly memorable emotions to a moment in your life that you want to remember forever.
Shaun White & Nina Dobrev
NYC’s Golden Swan restaurant is an exotic location for anyone who wants to enjoy fine-dining, and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Shaun White may be best known for carving up the powder and wowing the crowds with his snowboarding tricks, but this was a whole new ballgame.
His elegant proposal had something of a timeless quality. It was one of many reasons it was accepted without a moment of hesitation. Having your proposal set in a location your partner already knows well is something that allows you to really immerse yourself into the moment. There’s also the chance to relive those feelings every time you stop by at one of your favorite haunts during the following years.
Ryan Lochte & Kayla Reid
An Olympian who won so many gold medals, he has no idea what to do with them. When it comes to that magic moment, he is guaranteed to go big and Ryan Lochte certainly did. He booked a helicopter tour above Los Angeles for his girlfriend and took her to the sky showing her a beautiful place from a truly unique angle. Once they touched down, he walked her towards a beautiful view of the Pacific Ocean and got down on one knee.
Being able to whisk your partner away so they can lose themselves in the moment and discover what quality time truly means is a moving experience. You can think of it as a timeless way to set the tone for an unforgettable day of a lifetime.
Orlando Bloom & Katy Perry
If you have the funds to hire a helicopter after dinner, go for it! Orlando took Katy into the skies where she may have felt like she could touch the stars. Everything she was expecting was a quite walk around an art gallery.
A classic bit of diversion and bluffing was on show here, and that’s one of the reasons it simply has to make it onto our shortlist. If you can make your partner oblivious to what you have planned, the chances are that the question will leave the impact which is ten times bigger than usual. This is precisely what you want when it’s time to bring a tear to their eye for all the good reasons.
Alexis Ohanian & Serena Williams
Rome was the setting for an unexpected trip taken by a tech mogul and a member of the tennis royal family. The two of them met there by chance, so it was a no-brainer for Serena to find herself back there at some point on their journey together. However, what she may never have expected, was Alexis popping the question while they were sitting together at the table where their eyes first met. Pure theatre!
Russell Wilson & Ciara
Who wants to play a travel roulette? With 30 destinations and plenty of excitement, Ciara found herself being flown away to the Seychelles seemingly out of nowhere. A hotel suite and the proposal of a lifetime were waiting for her, when she landed.
But rather than overdoing it luxuriously, Russell focused on getting the simple things just right. The result was an intimate moment that showed how much she meant to him.
What happens next?
The key thing to remember is that the element of surprise is what makes all the difference. Sometimes the best way to maintain this key component is to downplay the day with a double-bluff. Been hinting about a trip to Vegas? Pretend you’re only going to give them a spin on a site like Casino Meter. Do they want to go shopping in Paris? Find an online store with the same name and pass them an iPad. You get the picture! The more you can deflect and redirect, the bigger the surprise will be when the ring shines for the first time.
You don’t have to go as big and bold as the influencers and media stars on this list. You may find the spark of inspiration you have been looking for. Add your own twist to it and your partner will surely be falling in love with you all over again. Once that happens, you’re ready to write the story of a lifetime together as you walk hand in hand towards the sunset.
