Touching Theatrical Engagements

This Movie Trailer Proposal is a Tearjerker

This movie trailer proposal is one of the most creative approaches in a very long time.

Determined to make a strong impression on his long-time girlfriend, David Pogue created an incredibly convincing movie trailer that mimicked his relationship. He paid a resort to screen the trailer like any other movie and hid a camera so that he could record his girlfriend's reaction. As the video plays on, viewers can see his soon-to-be fiance clueing in to the situation and getting more and more emotional. By the end of the trailer, David reveals what's going on, and proposes to his girlfriend in real life, all of which is caught on tape.

Perhaps one of the most innovative proposals ever, this video is sure to go viral among swooning audiences.
