Marriage proposal videos have been appearing in my news feeds. I remember that two years ago I found this proposal cute. Although there were anti-climactic and cheesy parts, it is, after all, an amateur video. The concept was novel then.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnVAE91E7kM]Early this year, this proposal has gone viral. It is a 27-minute extravaganza with impressive special effects. It was quite amazing at first but then it dragged on and when I read about the fiance’s bio, I found out that he is a director. I thought he was stretching his 15 minutes of fame way too much. He was almost in every frame like a superstar in this mini-movie. Anyway, all is well. She said yes. If it were me, I would have doubted his intentions. He was begging for attention. (I can be cynical about these things. That is my excuse for being single. Ha!)
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVTr5MNa_8Y]Quite recently, Filipinos have caught on with this trend. Proposing marriage has now become a production number. Take this hostage drama situation. Good thing that the acting was bad and the girl did not suffer a heart attack. Otherwise, this proposal could have gone awry.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSSL1qswYQ4]Here’s another proposal that, I think, was well-executed. It appeared like an ordinary day with a surprise proposal in the end.

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhLHqPRW7Y]I do not know if these proposals put pressure to those who are in a relationship. A wedding has become an expensive event. Years ago, pre-nuptial photo sessions were unheard of. Recently, it seemed that it had become a norm. Now, proposal videos have entered the picture. I wonder what’s the next trend.
I really wish they all live happily every after.
The car proposal is definitely irresistible. At least, the proposals add more excitement to the upcoming marriage.
I am such a sap. All wedding proposals make me tear up. These are cute.
I loved watching these wedding proposals! If you are a true romantic (like me), watching these turns me into mush!
I like watching proposals. There’s a lot of different twist in the end. I already watched the first one and the scary proposal. Baka magpanic ako pag ganun proposal sakin. Haha
It’s uso na. I like it that because it’s uso, a lot of men are making effort in doing such a romantic scene their ladies won’t forget.
Cute ways to get their fiance’s big YES!
I haven’t did this to Mommy. We just decided the date of our wedding. Di kasi ako showy unlike others. hehehe

Romantic different ideas to show love… and you are right sis, proposals these days have become big production numbers. Kawawa naman mga guys – magastos! 😀
The men are making a lot efforts for the proposal! What a sweet gesture!
Kiliggg! I’m a hopeless romantic. I love to watch proposal videos whenever it pops in my FB feed. 🙂 Sana it’s uso na before pa para my hubby had an idea on how to do it. hahaha! #wishfulthinking
These proposal videos are cute and heartwarming, but admittedly, I wouldn’t want those for me. I would love a simple but meaningful proposal better. 🙂
Wedding Proposal always makes me cry…! Although my wedding proposal is so simple yet it is so touching cause mt family is there to witness the event when I say YES!:)
Those proposals are really over the top. It would certainly make a very memorable occasion for the couple but not so for me. I would prefer a simple proposal too.. that was what I got 12 yrs ago.
I’ve seen this proposal years back and it made me cry talaga. Grabe the hirap of the guy ha and he’s a gentleman talking to the girl’s dad. WTG!
Marriage proposal is very unforgettable its always makes you cry coz there’s always something happen unexpedtedly that makes you surprise and burst into tears.
It’s really trending nowadays. I like watching proposal videos, too. But I think I still prefer a sweet, simple and memorable proposal better. Glad I got it when my husband proposed years ago. Hihi!
Naging mas uso ata ito dahil kay Zoren at Carmina eh, hahaha!
I applaud the people who do these surprise proposals… It would freak me out for sure. God bless them all. Great videos too.
