Wedding Proposals

A cute proposal aired yesterday morning on the Today show, and it wasn't shot by your typical wedding photographer, it was actually captured by a former paparazzo. It makes sense that the same stealthy photography skills honed by the paparazzi for celebrities would come in handy for snapping a proposal without the bride-to-be becoming suspicious.

And while it's one thing to have pretty engagement photos, it's even more romantic to have that emotional moment of saying yes always captured by camera — especially when it's all such a blur! My own fiancé had one of my closest friends hiding with a camera in hand when he popped the question, and I'm so happy I can see it all again. See some other heartfelt proposals snapped by paparazzi-like photographers now!

This weekend, Corey Newman used the Sunday Washington Post crossword puzzle to propose to his girlfriend, Marlowe Epstein. It was a sweet proposal that managed to be a sentimental private moment, while still being a public grand gesture (it was filmed and written about in The Washington Post). Maybe after all the techy proposals of late, popping the question is going old school? Newman is the latest fella to use word nerd-ery for asking "Will you marry me?", but he definitely wasn't the first. Let's look back at some of the other crossword puzzle proposals that have made headlines.
