A Man in China Amplifies Romance with the Dancing Carrots Proposal

There a lot of extravagant marriage proposals out there, but this Dancing Carrots Proposal goes over-the-top with teamwork.

A man proposed to his girlfriend on China's Valentines Day with 48 people dressed in carrot costumes. After the carrots started dancing, the man started speaking into a microphone about the memories he shared with his six months long girlfriend. The crowd began chanting "Marry him!" to which she said yes.

Costing $15, 000 to orchestrate and three weeks to put together the Dancing Carrots Proposal, it must have been relieving to hear that three letter word.
