# Pop Bottle Proposals Donnie McGilvray Asked His Wife to Marry Him Using Coca-Cola Bottles By M | Published 2014-08-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-bottle References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/rossalynwarren/a-man-asked-his-girlfriend-to-marry-him-using-coca-cola-bott) & [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/rossalynwarren/a-man-asked-his-girlfriend-to-marry-him-using-coca-cola-bott) The newly released retro [Coca-Cola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprite-bottles) bottles that come with names spelt out across the label recently inspired Donnie McGilvary to use the same pop bottles to propose to his soon-to-be wife Eloise. Instead of getting down on one knee, McGilvary set up various Coca-Cola bottles in his fridge in the hopes that Eloise would see the untraditional [proposal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onion-ring-proposal) and accept. The latest vintage-looking Coca-Cola bottles are sold with various names written on them to add a personal touch to the iconic soft drink. Inspired by this, McGilvary had several bottles made up to spell out "Beautiful Eloise will you marry me?" He hid the bottles in his fridge so that Eloise would find them when she opened up the fridge door. While you can't purchase these bottles, many people are having fun recreating the Coca-Cola name labels using Photoshop. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 38% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Retro Coca-cola Bottles:** Opportunity for businesses to create personalized products with a vintage aesthetic. - **Unconventional Proposals:** Opportunity for event planners and wedding industry to offer unique proposal experiences. - **Personalized Branding:** Opportunity for companies to incorporate personalized elements into their marketing strategies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** Disruptive innovation can be achieved by introducing personalized labeling and packaging for drinks. - **Photography Industry:** Opportunity for photographers to offer customized Coca-Cola label recreations as a service. - **Graphic Design Industry:** Disruptive innovation can arise from creating tools and templates for easily designing personalized labels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cocktail Flavor-Inspired Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nontraditional-engagement-ring.md) - [Retro Soda Collab Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-drinkware.md) - [Recyclable Label-Free Soda Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sprite-bottles.md) - [Lockable Soda Bottle Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lockable-bottles.md) - [Break-Encouraging Soda Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diet-coke-break.md) - [Carrot-Shaped Engagement Rings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrot-gold-engagement-ring.md) - [Romantic Cowboy Beer Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/proposal-pack.md) - [Wedding Crasher Weddings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-crasher-wedding.md) - [Eco-Friendly Soda Bottle Caps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-uk.md)
