1) My cousin brought a big pink cake, with icing on it saying “Will you marry me [plonis]?”, and sat in a hotel restaurant, and gave it to the waiter beforehand. Then they ordered drinks, and the waiter took a long time… and when he got the signal brought in the cake and put it down. She said yes, and the waiter – unasked, obviously – turned around and announced to the whole hotel “SHE SAID YES!!” And everyone cheered!
2) Another cousin of mine took out a pack of cards, and did two brilliant card tricks. Then, the third one, he told her to take a card. She did. He then said “Put it back in the pile”. She did. Then he pulled out a card he had printed before with a nice deisgn which said on it “Will you marry me Esti?”, and pulled it out with a flourish: “Is this your card?” He asked…
3) I heard about a guy – although i doubt it is true – who paid the guy in the underground station (subway?) to replace the lettering on the board which announces “The next train will be…” to say “Will you marry me…”
4) My mother had a friend who was dating somebody quite wealthy, and they were out somewhere, when the boy suddenly pointed to the window, where a plane was flying past, pulling a sign saying “WILL YOU MARRY ME…” — very original, but a waste of money!
5) One of my friends placed a few helium balloons in his car boot which spelled out the words “Will you marry me…”, and pulled open the boot, so that the balloons flew out one by one!
