A few days ago I was on my Twitter account and WeddingChannel had this adorable time-lapse Marriage Proposal posted. I clicked the link and immediately fell in love with how creative this idea was. Well, you know what happens on YouTube. You see one cute thing then you look at the "recommendations" list and see something else, then something else and so on. Before you know it you are spiralling down the rabbit hole and you cannot get out! But it's all just so sentimental and emotional you don't want to stop watching all of the cute, funny and (at times) mean proposals out there. One thing leads to the next and I'm watching those videos parents take of their kids when they surprise them with trips to Disney World. I had to stop. I'm working for crying out loud!!!
So, some questions I have...
1. Would I want my proposal posted for the world to see? (No, thanks, not the type! But to those out there who are the type, keep posting! I LOVE WATCHING!)
2. Would I have wanted my proposal to be public so that strangers could immediately have shared in my joy? (no way, it was perfect just the 2 of us!)
3. What kinds of creative, corny, adorable proposals have other people experienced? (please share!!)4. Are you one of those people with a proposal video on YouTube? (if so, please post the link so everyone who checks out this blog and oohh & ahh over how adorable you are!)
YouTube is definitely the "it thing" right now and rightfully so. It allows people to post videos of a very wide variety and it links an exorbitant amount of networks together. Businesses post commercials for their companies, parents post cute videos of their kids to share with loved ones who live far away, people post videos of weddings and engagements, etc.
Remember this video of the dancing bridal party? This became an instant internet sensation and now has had well over 67 million views! It has been duplicated, reinterpreted, and broadcast on news outlets as well as being a viral hit online. Just as popular are the "surprise" first dances. (Those are addicting to watch, too.)
Proposals & Weddings are no longer revolving around stricktly sticking to tradition. You can really be yourselves and let the day be all about you. Proposals, which prompted this post, are unique and no longer the romantic dinner and down on one knee. Creativity is key. Having a video camera on hand might just take you from cool proposal/wedding entrance/first dance to being known around the world. Will you be next?
