The Ultimate Flashmob Proposal

Modern Wedding Posted: October 13, 2016

M A R I A   +   M A R K

Mark organised a flashmob proposal with 55 friends and family for Maria. The parade sang and danced until Mark got down on one knee and recited a poem he had written for her.

We first met…

We met through mutual friends years ago and have know each other through social circles since then, until we decided to go in business together in 2014 to launch our event concept Boozy Brunch. From there we formed a great trusting friendship. 

We knew it was love…

When our hearts started beating faster.

The proposal…

We will let the video tell the story. Yes Mark did ask my father before proposing and it exceeded any thought or dream of how I would ever have imagined being proposed to.

Was it a surprise?

It sure was! A 55 person organisation with three rehearsals and a month of planning, all under my nose and I didn’t have a clue about the flashmob proposal!

The engagement ring…

We designed it ourselves, together, after the proposal. A friend of ours is a jewellery wholesaler, owner of Gold Buyers Melbourne on Collins Street however they do still sell to the public, through word of mouth.  

Wedding plans…

Wedding is November 5 2016, less that 4 weeks away! At a brand new venue opening on Albert Park Golf Course – Greenfields Albert Park, which is also a new business venture we are involved in.
