Superficially Speaking, The Proposal...

...is everything.

Like, seriously!

And this one you're about to see
– for lack of a better word – rocks.
"String" – a Zales Jewelers' Love Rocks commercial. It features
the music of Robert Francis. This original romantic ballad entitled
"Don't Forget Love" was written and sung by Robert himself.



Too bad The Husband hates the line at the end. Pfft.
Them Copywriters and their critical eye for words.

*rolls eyes*


You know, I think I should OTJ marriage proposals someday. Haven't done one for this topic. Would probably do The Other Gender a lot of good to know what a good proposal means to a marriage. (Which would then ultimately result in doing US, girls, a lot of good lah. Haha. =p) Time to let the boys see what it means to Set The Stage.

OHMYGOSH! This must be done by a girl because something this creative and romantic cannot possibly be the result of a man's brain. SIGH NOW I WANT TO BE PROPOSED. pam, if ever the time comes, can i appoint you proposal-advisor for my husband-to-be?

– Hahaha. I'll have to check if the director was a female. =p Get back to you on that in a bit. Haha.

AND YES. I wouldn't mind being official proposal-advisor to your husband-to-be. Haha. Just make sure I'm given credit mention.

And you better return the favour and outdo my proposal advice when it's my turn! Wakakakaka.

Howww? did the chap throw that knitting thread thru that window? if he;s that good, he should be pitching in the MLB.

Howww? did the thread get tied up to her fingers?

Howww? did the note end up on the window?

Howww? is it that "Will you" means a marriage proposal. I mean, yea if someone ties a knot around me fingers then slip a ring down, I'll wear it and then shut the window and say "sucker". She had that reluctant smile, obviously she's afraid that psycho guy might harm her had she not wear it. Why psycho? look at the knot, tied when she's asleep, then the note on the window. Hmmm hallmarks of psychos alrighty. LOL!

Yup, its too lalala, for a male brain to concoct this sketch.

(There's part 2 of this reply)

Had a male helm the direction of this ad, it would be this...

A crack team of commandos from the elite SAS special forces, flying in a plane, then pinpoints the location of the bride-to-be's apartment, then parachute down. Team A lands on the roof of her apartment, Team B the opposite building.

Team A scales down the building until her floor, uses hi-tech thingy to unlock her window.

Team B begins installing fireworks pyrotechnics all over the building, especially the rooftop. T

Team A slips in 'their' favourite song cd in the stereo. Sticks the note, "will u marry me?" on the window and then exits the building. Bride-to-be still sound asleep, not bothered by the silent operations by the crack commandos all the while.

Dusk sets in, Groom-to-be gives the go-ahead to Team A, who then activates the favourite song in the stereo. Bride-to-be awoken by the music and found a black box on the table by the window. Opens it to find the bling bling and saw the note in the process.

Team B ignites the fireworks and gazillion flashes of light swarm the sky, ermm demolishes the building at the same time.

Bride-to-be wears the bling bling. Commandos fire a rope into the wall of her apartment and Groom-to-be swings in thru the window.

Kisses and then BVLGARI advert credit roll.

Thank you Tinki, for your impartial truth and facts.

But i still like my direction of an all-action, explosive and perhaps throw in some love scene along the way. "BVLGARI, our diamonds crack a smile on ya face".
