Most dramatic marriage proposals of 2011

 

The online video of Mr Timothy Tiah's proposal to Miss Audrey Ooi went viral.

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest called it the sweetest finale to 2011.

Even US singer Christina Perri, whose song "A Thousand Years" was used in the video, tweeted: "awww!! that was the sweetest video ever!!! im so honored to be singing thru it!! happy forever to you guys! xo".

The video has had four million views since it first appeared online on Dec 11. There are several versions of the video on YouTube, including one with Portuguese subtitles.

2011 saw several other dramatic wedding proposal videos, including the following:

Proposal video #2: Epic proposal

The 15-minute video starts with Mr Justin Davis getting splashed with water by a woman at a dinner in front of girlfriend Nikki Marquez.

Worried that her lover might be seeing another woman, a confused Ms Marquez starts sobbing. After Mr Davis is led away from the scene, a massive display of dancers leads her back to her boyfriend who then proposes.

After she agrees, Mr Davis suggests that they get married right there. Her best friends appear. Within minutes, after they slip a wedding dress on her, bride and groom walk to a makeshift altar where they are married.

Proposal video #3: Train proposal

It's just another normal train ride in the UK for Lucy Rogers - until a commuter starts singing Bill Wither's Lovely Day out of the blue.

Soon after, people in the train start singing together. She thinks it is another flash mob happening.

It was not until everyone stops singing and her boyfriend appears in the train that she realises the song was for her.

After she says yes to her boyfriend, who proposes on one knee, the entire train bursts with one final chorus from the song.

Proposal video #4: Disneyland musical proposal

Already an aspiring singer? With over 4.5million views on YouTube, this proposal isone that music fans would love.

A man proposes to his girlfriend in Disneyland, on the street where they first met. It starts with him whipping out a megaphone and telling the crowd gathered that he has something important to say to his girlfriend, Erika.

In true Disneyland fashion, a musical-esque song and dance proposal follows.

Will 2012, the year of the Dragon, see more epic wedding proposals? It remains to be seen.
