Weird and wonderful ways to propose (that actually worked!) as seen on @offbeatbride #wedding #proposals

16 wonderful and weird wedding proposals (that totally worked!)

If there’s one thing we love, it’s a good proposal story. Now, we really love an intimate, meaningful, and sweet proposal, but sometimes you just want to hear a neat story of nerdy, wonderful, and weird wedding proposals. We’ve seen some amazing offbeat wedding proposals and we wanted to round up some of the ones we’ve featured, some we love from around the web, and some that have just become legend. Let’s go down the rabbit hole of geeky, romantic, and wonderfully weird wedding proposals.

Where's Waldo engagement shoot as seen on @offbeatbride

It’s easy to spot the adorable at this Where’s Waldo engagement shoot

Corrie and Aaron had the most amazing Where’s Waldo engagement shoot at a one-of-a-kind amusement park called Kennywood. They had a rad-as-hell day wandering around the park, interacting with all the guests, and just having a blast as Waldo and Wilma. This shoot sets the stage for their eventual carnival-themed wedding with a bounce house, dunking booth, and bonfire. Damn, that’s a lot of fun. Let’s see it!

See the Pokémon game proposal this game developer made for his girlfriend

Sammy is an indie game developer who makes a game for his games user researcher girlfriend Tasha every year. This year he ramped up his romance game to the max by adding in a surprise Pokémon game proposal. The matching Poké Ball ring was the icing on this gamertastic geeky proposal of our dreams. You HAVE to see this.

The Promised Ring
