The first viral public proposal of the new year is officially here — and it's spectacular.

While tandem wakeboarding with his girlfriend Brynn, Matthew Gencarella decided to take the plunge and ask her to marry him right there and then.

A news anchor for a Fox affiliate in North Alabama unwittingly broke the news of her own marriage proposal this past Saturday when a "breaking news script" introducing the proposal was plugged into her teleprompter at the last minute.

Matt Hartman's proposal to his fiancée Lis began the way most of these insufferable public displays of affections often do.

When Alissa Groeninger was invited by her boyfriend, WAND-TV early morning news anchor Mark Rivera, to talk about her role as editor of the weekly Voice section of The State Journal-Register, she thought he had finally taken an interest in her work.

A wealthy Russian businessman who wanted to propose to his girlfriend decided to test her love for him before popping the question — by faking his own death.
