I proposed to my girlfriend and did it LIKE A BOSS. It's a parody of Lonely Island's "LIKE A BOSS." I know the production value isn't the best, but I did what I could to do something different.
STORY:
My gf and I were going on vacation. I wanted to propose like a boss and have her in the music video too, but I had to come up with a story to make her think it's not for proposing. I told her I wanted to make a "vacation music video" parody of LIKE A BOSS for fun. Her immediate reaction was "no this stupid. I don't want any part of it." (she's a little shy ) The challenge was on! I agreed to have her just film most of the clips and do very very little. For the last clip, I had to beg and plead with her for 10 minutes to just do "one more clip." and simply stand there. She agreed and as a result was incredibly grumpy. Right before filming it, she said, "I don't know why I'm in this dumb video. I'm just standing here doing nothing." Then she very quickly turned off her grumpiness I made a deal with her that she can never be grumpy again.

Wait, so that music video was just a by-product of your plan to getting to propose to your girlfriend on camera without her being suspicious of why you two are standing in front of the camera? Nice!

Haha yes and no. The original plan was I needed to get her in front of the camera and not be suspicious. I originally thought of doing a "vacation" blog, but felt it was too cheesy. 5 days before we left to go on vacation, I came up with the genius idea of doing a like a boss parody, and the lyrics started to write themselves. In the end, I decided it'd be also fun to string it together as a music video to show at the wedding and to friends/family.
Besides, who actually suspects a LIKE A BOSS music video filming to actually turn into a proposal? =P

Congrats
haha well I kinda came up with the lyrics and flow of the song rather quickly. My mind was more focused on giving her the ring and saying my lines right as opposed to going poopy right before handing her a ring =P
I'm a scientist and I proposed by putting a poem under the microsope. I asked her to 'check out this interesting specimen. WHen she took a look in the microscope and read the poem I busted out the ring. My lab mates were waiting outside the microscope room with confetti.
By the way I had to make tiny font so I used a super expensive laser printer in the department that could print clearly at 1 pt font.

Nice! Do you have pix of the original slides? You guys gonna frame it with one of those magnifying lenses on the frame? =D
We're going to play the proposal video at our wedding. I have a "clean" version of it though in case there are kids at the wedding.
haha nice :D! I loved it, pretty different! I hope to propose to my gf soon, been looking around for proposal videos just to se how other people do it and yours is unique
