Marriage is one of the biggest commitments you can make in a lifetime, which is probably why men the world over lean toward planning elaborate setups for popping the question. Whether they’re adventurous, dramatic, casual, or quirky, there’s nothing quite like a good proposal story. Here are a few we love. A Sweet Surprise Jake, an amateur photographer, relied on his Nikon DSLR camera for help when proposing to his now-wife Taylor. On a trip to California, the pair wound up on Paradise Pier in California Adventure at sunset. At the perfect moment, Jake handed Taylor his camera and asked her to take his photo. When she slid the exposure counter back, she found a ring in the space beneath! Jake got down on one knee, and the rest is history.

After a long climb, they made it to the top and Brittany was admiring the view when Daniel got down on one knee and offered her an even better sight — a ring! (BridalMusings.com) Swept Off Her Feet This spring, Brad devised the perfect proposal for his then-girlfriend Nia, who is a big fan of Harry Potter. Nia had told Brad she was interested in seeing drawings by a local sand artist at a nearby beach, so Brad planned a surprise for the outing. He commissioned artist Mark Treanor to draw a huge Hogwarts Crest in the sand, emblazoned with his proposal! The incredible drawing made headlines, and Brad got the girl.
