参考文本:

Well as we see every day, the Internet revolution makes all kinds of wild things possible. You wanna propose to your girlfriend with an audience of potential millions watching. Well, sounds a little risky. It takes a chance of utter humiliation there, but as 20-20's Juju Chang found out and will show us tonight on 'I caught’. A lot of people are doing it'."

Love-struck Romeos are staging more and more elaborate proposals and not just capturing it on tape but posting it for all the World Wide Web to see.

People have uploaded their proposals on airplanes, on helicopters.

"I want you to marry me."

"Of course, I love you."

Or at the beach.

"Why put it on YouTube when you know there's plenty of derision to be had?"

"Everybody wants an audience to really show how much you really love this woman."

They often involved shocked doubt.

"Third one is a marriage proposal from your boyfriend James."

"Oh, my God!"

Crist Tosstu camera crew was lurking in an SUV. Crist set out to surprise his girlfriend during their daily run.

"I mean it take a lot of planning it. My good friend Brian was a videographer for a bunch of TV shows and I told him my overall plan that I would gonna pretend to spray my ankle and that he would be hiding in the back of a car and get it all on tape."

"So this is the pole that was the trigger for me to, all of a sudden pretend to spray my ankle."

"I love you, more than anything in the world?"

"No.No!"

"Come here."

"As you can see, it's busy road. Probably not a good idea. So back up that far, that’s why I grab her back here."

Crist posted his little docudrama on the web for their families to see. Well, over 120,000 people have now seen Crist on bended knee.

"Will you marry me?"

Let's face it. Couples have been doing this for time in the memorial.

"He took a video camera proposing to me."

It doesn't take fancy equipment.

"We used his tripod."

Or school intercom.

All it really takes is two people who are madly in love.
