How far are you willing to go to profess your unyielding love?
Television taught us that unless we’re Lorelei from Gilmore Girls, we won’t be getting 1000 yellow daisies from a sweet guy named Max. Cinemas taught us that unless we're Kat Stratford from 10 Things I Hate About You, we are not getting a special song and dance number from a rebellious yet romantic Patrick Verona. Romantic movies made us think that grand gestures—the ones that made us scream and swoon in front of our screens—are merely make-believe events brewed in the imagination of screenplay writers.
But as far as history is concerned, there are love gestures that would shame these fictitious scenes in a snap. Get your hearts ready; in this article, we list celebrities who've gone above and beyond with their marriage proposals.

1. Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom
Katy and Orlando Bloom had been in a three-year on-and-off relationship before the latter finally proposed in February 2018. In one of her interviews, Katy revealed the details of Orlando's lovely proposal. "It was Valentine's Day, and I had to work that day. I just remember meeting him at dinner at this place, this Italian restaurant because, when I get a pass, I just want to just stuff my face with pasta. So, I got there and he's clean-shaven, he's not wearing tennis shoes. I'm like, 'Ah, sh*t, something is going down'," she recalled.
The singer added that she was ushered onto a helicopter where Orlando proposed. "And then we landed on this building, and went downstairs and my family and friends were there and [there were many] flowers. . .the most flowers you've ever seen. It's like when Kanye does that for Kim, you're like, ‘Oh my god!' And I was like, ‘Oh my god!' Anyway, it’s great, he's great. I love him very much."
