35-year-old Adam King, who sings as part of the Adam Street Singers, organised for the other singers in the group to board the train which he takes home with his girlfriend Lucy Rogers most nights and serenade her with a rendition of the Bill Withers song, Lovely Day, before he popped the question.

A great deal of planning went into making the proposal just perfect, with the choir starting work on project-train-proposal back in April. Hopeless romantic Adam also had to be careful that his girlfriend of 6 years didn’t spot any of his fellow choir singers on the train as many of them are mutual friends of the couple.

The video posted on YouTube starts with a familiar scene of a packed commuter train, before one passenger starts singing, as another joins in and another, before which the 25-strong choir are all singing in harmony, when bang on cue, tailor Adam drops down on one knee and asks Lucy to marry him, to which she quickly accepts before bursting into tears.

The inventive marriage proposal only happened last week, November 1^st, and yet in the short space of time it’s been available to view online, it’s received half a million hits and sparked interest from TV channels around the world who are all clamouring to get an interview with the newly engaged couple.

Man proposes by placing an ad in his local newspaper

A romantic groom-to-be went to great lengths to make his proposal unexpected. The last thing Justin Matusevich’s unsuspecting girlfriend expected while flicking through her local newspaper was to find an advert from her boyfriend asking her to marry him, but that’s exactly what she did find.

Kaci West admitted to being surprised by the romantic gesture and was speechless after discovering the advert from her boyfriend of 5 months. Every detail had been considered and Justin had even bought the ring in preparation for the proposal and presented Kaci with a diamond engagement ring set in a gold band.

After gaining her composure she was able to accept Justin’s marriage proposal, and the couple are now busy planning their wedding.

Justin hatched the elaborate plan with his now, fiancée’s mother Nikita, and said they spent two-weeks arranging the finer details of the elaborate proposal. It appears the effort was worthwhile as the newly engaged couple and their family are thrilled at the exciting news.

The couple got together 5 months ago and admit they have enjoyed something of a whirlwind romance saying that when they first met, it was “love at first sight.”
