A great proposal has always been about execution not money, so don’t think the hundreds of thousands of dollars these celebrities spent on their proposals saved them from committing huge faux pas. Next time you are comparing your proposal to the heinously elaborate ones of the rich and famous, try to learn from what they did wrong just as much as what they did right, such as Matthew McConaughey’s Christmas day proposal:
“Here?s the thing with proposing on a holiday: As sweet as the sentiment is, heaven forbid you and your sweetie decide to part ways three, five, seven or 10 years down the line. Should that happen, that day, and what it represents, will be tainted in you and your girlfriend?s mind forever.”
