1). Kim Kardashian & Kanye West

Let's start with everybody's favourite celeb couple: Kimye. The extravagant proposal reportedly cost $3.3 million, and was filmed for a special episode of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'. Not only did the owner of the San Francisco Giants let Kanye have exclusive use of their stadium, but the proposal also featured a 50-piece orchestra that played Kim's favourite song, Lana Del Rey's 'Young and Beautiful'.

What we love: The adorable message on the scoreboard that read "PLEEEASE MARRY MEEE!!!".

2). Lady Gaga & Taylor Kinney

For his romantic Valentine's Day proposal to Lady Gaga, Taylor Kinney decided to play a joke on his girlfriend by presenting her with a candy ring. In an interview with Access Hollywood, the singer said "I said yes right away and then he pulled out the heart-shaped diamond. First it was candy. I was happy with the candy.".

What we love: The personalised ring, which has "T+S" (the couple's initials) created out of white diamonds on the band.

3). Eva Longoria & Jose Baston

The 'Desperate Housewives' actress was so surprised when her boyfriend proposed to her in the middle of the desert! The couple were on holiday in Dubai for the Dubai International Film Festival when he popped the question with a gorgeous diamond and ruby engagement ring. Eva went straight to Instagram and shared this photo, captioning it: "Ummmm so this happened… #Engaged #Dubai #Happiness".

What we love: Eva and Jose staged a second proposal a year later on a trip to India. This way they got an intimate, private proposal and a classic shot of Jose on one knee with the backdrop of the Taj Mahal.

4). Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka

For his romantic Valentine's day proposal, David Burtka decided to surprise Neil Patrick Harris by stopping their limousine on the exact street corner where they first met, 8 years previously, and getting down on one knee. The 'How I Met Your Mother' star was completely taken by surprise, but said "yes!" immediately.

What we love: The following Valentine's day, Neil decided that he wanted to propose too. So, he bought a ring and popped the question in Santa Monica.

5). Will Smith & Jada Pinkett

When it comes to proposals, you might expect Will Smith to be rather extravagant. But, according to Jada Pinkett, his proposal to her was was simple and unplanned, which made it extra special. The couple were lying in bed together when he popped the question, saying "Hey, we might be real good married. Wassup? You wanna marry me?". Even though he didn't propose with a ring, the actor later bought his fiancé a gorgeous diamond engagement ring allegedly costing a huge £250,000!

What we love: For the couple's wedding day, they chose to hold their intimate ceremony on New Year's Eve with 100 guests.

6). Amy Adams & Darren Le Gallo

After six years of dating, Amy Adam's artist boyfriend proposed to her during a romantic horse and carriage ride around Central Park. Even though they had been dating for so long, Amy was so shocked when Darren popped the question - and she admits that she couldn't even take it in because she was mentally running lines from her latest script.

What we love: Darren Le Gallo contacted top jewellery designer Jean Dousset, and asked him to create a personalised engagement ring especially for Amy.
