    I reckon most companies would do it, a bit of romance and a proposal makes everyone warm and fuzzy. DH proposed in an expensive restaurant in Melb - he explained what he wanted when he made the reservation and the staff put us away from all the other diners and told him as the tables filled up near us, that he'd have about 15 minutes of privacy left. It was great. He just spoke to the person who picked up the phone. I reckon if you were to ring the phone number for the company offices as opposed to the bookings line, you'd be able to do it.

    I happened to flick onto sunrise when they were interviewing the man. He has a friend who works for the company and he helped organise it for him. It was a plan tehy had been working on for months.

    Ahhhh so there you go! You just need to know somebody in the know LOL. Thanks for that LIviam - the Today Show didn't actually interview the couple

    My BIL organised a surprise for my husband for our wedding - so it wasn't romantic, it was more bro-mantic . He got the captain of the Australian cricket team to send a congratulations telegram to my DH to be read out at our reception - boring for some (including me *cough cough*) but as you can see from my user name, DH is obsessed. Basically my BIL just emailed everyone and anyone he could think of that had connections (it all comes down to connections Trillian!) and it lead to the wife of the captain, which resulted in the messaged being faxed to my BIL from a hotel room in Sri Lanka the night before our wedding, and then the original copy being posted to us when he returned to the country. Quite sweet, I thought!

    'Marry me Jess?': the genuine love story which became a stunt

    The article says its a stunt, don't know if I'd define it as such - its a real proposal, its just that the company paid for the banner.

    No actual proposal here either. Kind of nice to know I am not alone with that

    Every cruise ship has a celebrant on it, the captain can also marry people. Im a travel agent and we quite often get requests from people to getting married or renew their vows on a cruise. You would just have to get in contact with the main office from the Queen Mary 2 and they would be able to help you organise it. One of the girls at my work was proposed to at our global ball for work in Las Vegas in front of 7000 people that we work with! AMAZING!!!!
