Top Movie Marriage Proposals

Romantic flicks hold a special place in our hearts, especially when they end with a heartwarming marriage proposal! The proposal can be against a stunning backdrop or in the most ordinary of settings, but either way, it always manages to captivate us, making our hearts squeal with joy. 

Whether you are in the mood for a romantic movie with a magical proposal that will make your heart swell or looking to get inspired celebrity engagement rings to create your own fairytale moment, I have got you covered. Take a look at these top movie proposal scenes that are sure to win your heart!

The Proposal 

With a movie title like that, the engagement scene had to be good. And it is safe to say that we were not disappointed! The Proposal is an interesting rom-com that starts off with a not-so-romantic proposal for a green card marriage. But as Andrew and Margaret spend more time together, they end up falling for each other. 

Despite facing the ups and downs, Andrew was finally able to gather the courage and confess his feelings and propose to Margaret at the office where they first met. His words, “Marry me, because I’d like to date you” not only won Margaret’s heart but ours also!

Love Actually

If you have ever worried about language getting in the way of your love life, just watch Love Actually and get the inspiration you need. Jamie and Aurélia definitely proved that a language barrier cannot stand in between true love. 

When Jamie realizes that he loves Aurélia, he goes the extra mile by learning Portuguese and goes to France to propose to her in broken Portuguese! And that’s not all. Turns out, Aurélia has also learned a little bit of English “just in case”, as she responds with “Thank you. That would be nice. Yes is being my answer.” 

Crazy Rich Asians

Nick finally introduces Rachel to his family, and surprise! They do not approve of her. The tension between Rachel and Nick’s family leads to a breakup. But wait, Nick is not one to give up that easily! He convinces his mother, seeking her approval. 

Then, in a romantic gesture, he chases after Rachel and her mother at the airport to propose. He gets on one knee and presents her with his mother’s stunning Emerald Ring. And Rachel and Nick got their happily ever after.

But did you know that the emerald ring used in the movie is no random ring? It was actually celebrity jewelry straight out of Michelle Yeoh’s (yes, she is the one who played the role of Nick’s mother!) personal collection. 

Ever After: A Cinderella Story

Ever After is your modern, post-feminist take on the classic fairy tale. This romantic flick has its share of highs and lows, just like any other love story. In the end, we see Prince Henry riding his horse to save his love, Danielle, who (surprise surprise!) does not actually need any saving! 

Prince Henry apologizes for his past harsh behavior and pops the question by slipping Cinderella’s famous slipper onto Danielle’s foot, twirling her around in joy when she says yes! Who needs a sparkly ring when you have got a jeweled slipper?

Runaway Bride

In Runaway Bride, Maggie shatters gender norms by popping the question to Ike. It is a heartwarming and surprising moment when she proposes to Ike with the same words he once used on her: “I guarantee that there’ll be tough times. I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us is going to want to get out of this. But I also guarantee that if I don’t ask you to be mine, I’ll regret it the rest of my life because I know in my heart, you’re the only one for me.” 

Meet the Parents

In the movie, Meet the Parents, the engagement ring becomes the star of the show. When the airline misplaces Greg’s suitcase containing his ring, chaos ensues. 

But the ring eventually makes its way back to him. Greh takes the creative and unconventional route of proposing to his girlfriend Pam by attaching the ring to the family cat’s collar and with a heartfelt speech. Who knew a furry friend could make a proposal so iconic?

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 

Toula and Ian bump into each other a couple of times before they decide to give dating a shot. Unfortunately, her family does not approve of her dating a guy who isn’t Greek, so they have to keep their relationship a secret. But of course, her parents eventually catch wind of their love affair and try to put a stop to it. (spoiler alert! Her parent’s plan fails)

Ian and Toula continue to sneak around and spend quality time with each other. And Ian’s proposal is simple yet absolutely adorable! Snuggled up in bed, he asked Toula to be his forever right then and there, presenting her with a ring. I mean, who needs a fancy proposal when you can have something pure and sweet like this?
