It isn't difficult to make a marriage proposal totally cheesy. I personally always thought super-public displays of love seemed a little too try-hard, a tad "the lady doth protest too much" if you know what I'm saying. What do y'all have to prove? Shouldn't the kickoff to your happily ever after be between the two of you?
This one Englishman seemed to get it right, hitting the ideal balance between romantic and overly so. Ray Smith went above and beyond the call of amorous duty when he decided to spend 5 months sneaking the words “Will you marry me?” into photographs of him and his lady. The 38-year-old took a total of 148 pictures in this time, completely unbeknownst to his 8-month-pregnant girlfriend Claire Bramley.

Bramley assumed her man had just been documenting her pregnancy. "I had no clue, I was totally oblivious to it all,' said Claire. He told me he was taking the pictures to create memories for the baby so I just let him get on with it."

‘I told her I was taking the pictures to track the progress of the baby, which was a little bit of a ruse,' he explained, adding: "Sometimes she wanted to see the pictures so I had to take more than one one with the card and one without."

He even managed to get a quick "Will you marry me?" on the television without Bramley noticing.

Then on Christmas Day, Smith decided to propose proper. "It was all a bit chaotic on Christmas Day morning so I took her away and set it all up on the laptop. I got down on one knee and gave her a bit of spiel, and then popped the question," Metro reports.

"I was totally surprised, but in hindsight it's exactly the kind of thing he does. He likes to do romantic things. I said yes straight away, I didn't need to think about it. I got a bit emotional but I am pregnant after all."
Although I'd like to make some sort of quip about how saccharinely unbearable stories like this are, I can't help but say...#RelationshipGoals.
