7 Most Expensive Ways to Propose Online

There was a time when wedding proposals were done in private, on bended knee, in intimate and romantic settings. Today, everything is a media event, it seems. The bigger the splash, the better for many folks. We propose at sporting events, on daytime talk shows, and via social media profiles. So, what are the most over the top methods, we wondered? Here are the 7 most expensive ways to propose online:

  1. GPS Hunt – This one involves having your significant other follow an elaborate treasure hunt, via GPS tracking by mobile device, in order to find a prize. In this case, the engagement ring. The logistics and preparation could be pricey, and involve exotic locales, but the creativity factor is through the roof with this one.
  2. Placing Ads – As with traditional print media, you can purchase ad space online at all sorts of websites, and in all sizes. Buying large ad space on heavily-trafficked websites can run into some serious coin, we’re guessing.
  3. Make a Video – Sure, you could create one at home for free. But a real romantic would fly to the to New York City and film his proposal at the top of the Empire State Building – on Valentine’s Day, then post it on YouTube, if he really wanted to get her to say ‘yes’.
  4. Movie Trailers – Think about it: millions of people are queuing up for the trailer for the latest action thriller, and patiently sit through that preceding 30-second ad. They see you, kneeling and asking the camera, “Karen, would you marry me?”
  5. @KimKardashian – No matter how you slice it, this online proposal is bound to cost you some serious moolah. Think before you tweet. The cash you save may be your own. On the plus side, we hear that she is, in fact, recently available.
  6. YouTube, Me Screwed – Then there’s this poor guy, who thought it would be a great idea to propose to his girl at a basketball game – on YouTube – for the world to see. Sadly, she didn’t think it was such a great idea. This is just about as costly an online proposal as you can make, if you ask us.
  7. Long Distance Relationship – More and more couples are meeting online, and geography can be a major factor in some cases. Proposing to someone halfway around the world involves more than a simple Skype call. Then you have to meet in person, and that’s when it really gets expensive.
