James had lots of romantic proposal ideas for his girlfriend Liane, but he wasn't quite sure how to pull them off. He enlisted the help of The Proposers, who helped him create hisĀ ultimate romantic proposal idea.\nJames and Liane loved going to secret cinemas, so they decided to hold the proposal at The Asylum, a stunning, derelict old Chapel in Peckham. They decorated the chapel with candles and fairy lights, and littered the floor with cushions to create the perfect viewing area for Liane's surprise.\nWhen the couple arrived at the "secret cinema", there were lots of "guests" around, and they were told that they had to go into the venue one by one to appreciate the full experience. As Liane entered the room, she found an iPad on the floor, with a button to press. Then, a projection started, featuring clips from her favourite films, and some guest appearances from James, too!\nWhen the film stopped, Desirees 'Kissing You' from Romeo and Juliet started playing, and in came two dramatic dancers. James then entered the room and invited Liane to dance to the Viennese Waltz. As they finished, James got down on one knee and asked Liane to marry him. The film then came back on and they sat together and watched the story of their relationship play out in front of them. That has got to be one of the most romantic proposal ideas, ever.\nCongratulations Liane and James!
