Low-Key Fast Food Proposals

Marc Jacobs' Marriage Proposal is Incredibly Adorable and Laid-Back

— April 10, 2018 — Lifestyle
From high fashion runways to low-key fast food proposals, designer Marc Jacobs asks his long-term boyfriend Charly DeFrancesco to marry him in Chipotle. The low-maintenance romantic gesture communicates the comfort and love in the couple's dynamic.

The fashion designer took Charly DeFrancesco to dine-out at a Chipotle location. A break-out of a flash mob was arranged in the middle of the fast-food chain and documented. The tune was, appropriately, 'Kiss' by Prince. After the performance, Marc Jacob got on one knee and asked the flabbergasted Charly DeFrancesco to marry him.

Jacobs' low-maintenance fast food proposal is a grand gesture of its own category — a testimony that even high fashion designers and their significant others value love over materiality and fame.
