The most romantic proposals

1. Get her favourite magazine to run an article featuring you proposing to her.
2. Hang the ring box like an ornament on the Christmas tree.
3. Play a trivia game together. During the game, say "Your question is: Will you marry me?" rather than the question written on the card. 
4. Sing it to her.
5. Do it like this man, dubbed by the media "the most romantic guy in London".
