The Most Epic Movie Proposals

Modern Wedding Posted: December 31, 2019

Love is anything but straight forward, especially in our favourite films. But when it ends in a dream proposal, it's all worth it. We've compiled a list of the most epic movie proposals so you can use your favourite on-screen romances as real-life inspiration! Here are the most epic, romantic, dreamy, and personal proposals from our favourite movies.

THE PROPOSAL...

This movie gives us two proposals, both as non-traditional as the other. Margaret proposes to her assistant Andrew out of desperation to avoid being deported. After a whirlwind trip to Alaska that ends in heartbreak, Andrew turns the tables and proposes to Margaret saying "Margaret, will you marry me? Because I'd like to date you." The ultimate reverse proposal!

FORGET THE DIAMOND...

While their first proposal was all business and no romance, the second time around was different. In true Sex and The City style, Carrie opted to slip a bejeweled Manolo Blahnik shoe on like Cinderella rather than wear a diamond ring. "Me and you, just us two". Swoon!

BRIDGET JONES...

In Bridget Jones The Edge Of Reason, Mark Darcy proposed to Bridget Jones, and we finally got to see everyone's favourite on-again, off-again couple finally commit to each other. The couple we were all rooting for!

Via Grazia

FLYING HIGH...

A surprise proposal on a plane saw Rachel receive Nick's mum's blessing after all. Nick couldn't live without Rachel and decided that being engaged to her, no matter how it happened, was more important than any of the plans he had made for his dream proposal. What made this proposal extra special is that Rachel's engagement ring was Nick's mother's - her first family heirloom!

HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU...

It must be hard watching all your friends getting engaged when your boyfriend really doesn't believe in marriage. That's exactly the situation Beth found herself in when her long-term boyfriend Neil. After an emotional breakup, Neil shocked Beth by hiding a dreamy engagement ring in this cargo pants, proving once and for all that in love, you are the exception, not the rule!

Via National Review

THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE...

Learning a new language to propose is the ultimate grand gesture! Catching Aurelia off guard at work, Jamie proposes in front of the entire restaurant.  They both speak back to each other in the other's native language. This love story from Love Actually proves that love knows no boundaries, borders, or language barriers.

IMPATIENTLY WAITING...

Just because things don't go to plan, that doesn't mean you still can't have a romantic proposal. That's exactly what we learned watching Liv march into Daniel's office and say "will you just marry me already" in Bride Wars. Lucky Daniel was thinking the same thing! That's a day your work colleagues certainly wouldn't forget!

Via Storypick

SOMETHING TO ASK YOU...

Proposing is a very personal thing. And in About Time, the idea to propose to Mary came about suddenly, with Tim rushing home and waking her in bed to ask a very important question. While down on one knee. Now, there's only one reason why someone would be down on one knee with an important question...and her answer was yes!

Via NPR

LEAP YEAR...

After Anna's plans to propose on February 29th backfire, the movie sees her journey to finding love with the adorable Irishman she spends the most time with, traveling throughout Ireland to see her boyfriend. When she realises she's in love with Declan, she follows him out to a clifftop where he gets down on one knee, feeling the same way.

Via Film Threat

A PROPOSAL WITHOUT MARRIAGE...

Another back and forth relationship...after several weddings, a funeral, and missed opportunities, Charles meets Carrie in the rain where he confesses he loves her and only her. As he knows Carrie does not want to be married another time, Charles proposes a lifetime of commitment to each other, without the ceremony and legal documentation. Truly heartwarming!
