Marriage Proposal Video
It’s so fascinating to me the way that technology has changed so much of the way weddings are planned from wedding websites to electronic save-the-dates. Even proposals are so much more than just a simple getting down on one knee these days. This adorably quirky and totally unique animated video may be one of the most creative, techie ways I’ve seen someone pop the question. You have to read this groom-to-be’s entire story below. It is too cute!
From the Groom-to-be… I had originally intended on proposing to her on Saturday, November 26th- the day before my birthday. The plan was to gift her with an Android Tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab), and when she unlocked it, it would immediately play the animation that I had made. However, on Sunday the 19th we received news that her best friend’s father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and immediately made plans to take her to Arkansas (from where we live in Toronto) to visit her close friends where she grew up. The day before we left, she decided to give me a birthday present early- and it ended up being the exact tablet I had bought her. I was surprised and immediately thought of the proposal I had planned- and she mistook my reaction for me not liking the gift. I told her that I simply had gotten her the exact same one for Christmas, and had been hiding it at work.
We flew down to Arkansas on Thursday the 24th and had a lovely Thanksgiving that involved a fair share of tears. When we returned on Sunday the 27th, my actual birthday, I presented her with the tablet, still in a box, telling her that despite it being my birthday, since she knew about her Christmas gift I felt she should have it now, and urged her to open it. The video you see linked is what played immediately. Through tears, I am very happy to say, she said yes.

So adorable!!
omg, this is so gosh darn cute!
Ohhh this is SO cute!! I love it!!
I remember Dr Who from when I was a child... The Darlecs(spelling?) and the phone booth! Who knew they could be such romantic symbols of love! You have the 'A' for the Day!
This is too cute! I love the Doctor Who references. Awwwww!
First of all wow. Second of all, Mike is a clever one. He also made the fact he submitted this to you guys a complete secret. He knows I subscribe to the Style Me Pretty newsfeed on Feedly and read it religiously. It was a pleasant surprise after work to say the least.
Thank you very much for sharing this video. As much as I loved every second of his proposal and the fact that he's the man I will marry, I love most of all the fact that he's given us something we can share with our future children. When I started thinking about that, it became even more meaningful. :) Thank you very much, SMP.
This was really good. I love techie stuff and this gave me an idea of something I'd like to do. It made me think of this marriage proposal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnVAE91E7kM&NR=1&feature=endscreen
Woah...
What a clever lovely man :)
So sweet!! Is there a website that anyone can recommend to do a similar animated video? I thought of doing it for my friend as a wedding gift
Let me start by saying that I've never posted a comment on any website before, but this was just too sweet not to. I am currently sitting here giving my students their final exam and trying not to cry while I watch this! Congratulations to you both :)
OMG that is adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love it, congrats to you both!!!!!!!!!!
Esther, I would recommend contacting james@tarboy.com He was excellent to work with through the whole process. He's excellent with a great number of styles and you can find his demo reel on www.tarboy.com
Another option is to head to www.newgrounds.com. It's changed a lot from the violent cartoon page it used to be (there are still violent cartoons galore however) and is now a giant portal for both professional and hobbyist animators alike. Watch some animations and if any in particular strike your fancy, email the creator and see if they're up for some commissioned work.
Thanks Michael!
He LOVES you!!!! So freaking adorable and creative!
Too cute, brought a tear to my eye
I am a Proposal Planner so I see a ton of proposals, but this is just heart warming.
So cute! I have a video of my marriage proposal on youtube as well. You can view it here!
