Love stories in Hollywood are often grand, but some celebrity proposals stand out as truly heartfelt and unconventional.  

Take Tom Cruise, who proposed to Katie Holmes atop the Eiffel Tower, making their whirlwind romance feel like a fairy tale. 

Then there’s Kanye West, who orchestrated an extravagant stadium proposal for Kim Kardashian, complete with a live orchestra and a giant screen displaying “PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!” in bold letters.  

On a more intimate note, Neil Patrick Harris planned a romantic and deeply personal proposal to David Burtka by popping the question on the very street where they first met, proving that love is about the meaningful moments.  

Blake Shelton surprised Gwen Stefani with a heartfelt proposal at his Oklahoma ranch, blending their country and pop worlds in a setting that felt authentic to their love story.  

Even Prince William’s proposal to Kate Middleton carried deep sentiment, as he gave her Princess Diana’s sapphire ring, symbolizing his late mother’s presence in their journey.  

On the more unconventional side, actress Kristen Bell took a refreshingly simple approach, proposing to Dax Shepard over Twitter after the legalization of same-sex marriage.  

Whether grand or understated, these proposals prove that love is most powerful when it’s personal.
