They really fell for their fianc\u00e9es.<\/p>\n
The most sought-after NYC spot to pop the question during the holidays is the ice rink at Rockefeller Center, according to Proposal 007<\/a>, a company that helps men plan lavish engagements in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n However, most guys don\u2019t consider how tricky it is to get down on one knee on a sheet of ice \u2014 a package that costs $1,500, which includes renting out the rink, photos and video.<\/p>\n Many of the men who rent out the Rockefeller Center ice rink to propose actually don\u2019t know how to skate. Vlad Leto<\/p>\n December is the busiest time for the Proposal 007, a company that helps plan lavish engagements in the Big Apple. Vlad Leto<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone wants to propose on the ice rink, but not everyone knows how to skate. You need to get on one knee in the skates, so if you\u2019re not a professional, it\u2019s really hard to do. So most of the time, the guys are falling and the girls have to hold them,\u201d the company\u2019s co-founder Tatiana Caicedo told The Post.<\/p>\n \u201cOne we had two days ago, he was skating to get to the spot to propose and he just fell really bad. Then he\u2019s getting on one knee, and you can see he\u2019s shaking, trying to keep his balance. And she\u2019s holding him, saying, \u2018You can do it.’\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut it was such a beautiful moment, straight out of the Hallmark movies. And she really had no idea he was about to propose, which makes it so emotional. A perfect Christmas proposal,\u201d\u00a0Caicedo\u00a0added.<\/p>\n December<\/a> is the busiest time for the company, which planned 210 proposals<\/a> this month, with most happening this weekend.<\/p>\n Caicedo, an event planner \u2014 who launched the company in 2015 with photographer Vlad Leto and has orchestrated more than 2,000 proposals \u2014 said another common disaster is \u201cthe ring drop.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt happens so many times,\u201d she lamented. <\/p>\n One of the worst occured in Dumbo\u2019s Brooklyn Bridge Park \u2014 with a man asking for his girlfriend\u2019s hand on the steps behind Jane\u2019s Carousel.<\/p>\n One common proposal mishap is \u201cthe ring drop,\u201d Tatiana Caicedo, co-founder of Proposal 007, told The Post. Vlad Leto<\/p>\n \u201cThe family ran out and I have pictures of them all laying on their bellies, trying to get it out,\u201d Caicedo recalled. Vlad Leto<\/p>\n \u201cThe man is proposing, their family is hiding, and then the ring fell in the crack of the steps. And the family ran out and I have pictures of them all laying on their bellies, trying to get it out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cThey got sticks and they did take it out.\u201d<\/p>\n Some grooms-to-be misplace the sparkler before even getting to the venue. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tStart your day with all you need to know\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMorning Report delivers the latest news, videos, photos and more.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \u201cA guy forgot his ring in the Uber. The girl was blindfolded. He was calling the driver, and went to find him. He left her with us and said, \u2018Can you watch her?’\u201d Caicedo recalled, laughing. <\/p>\n There have also been some wardrobe mishaps, where the unsuspecting fianc\u00e9e-to-be dresses inappropriately for the once-in-a-lifetime occasion.<\/p>\n \u201cI had a girl in a shirt that said, \u2018Just Say No,’\u201d Caicedo said.<\/p>\n This unsuspecting fianc\u00e9e-to-be wore a \u201cJust Say No\u201d t-shirt the day her boyfriend popped the question. Vlad Leto<\/p>\n \u201cWe were all like, \u2018Oh my God, how is that possible?\u2019 And the guy organized it in a restaurant and he hired a group of singers and then the whole restaurant was singing. That was funny.\u201d<\/p>\n In the decade she\u2019s been in business, she\u2019s only witnessed one \u201cNo,\u201d during a proposal that featured an outline of a heart on the ground made out of candles.<\/p>\n \u201cHe was pulling her in the heart and she was like, \u2018No,\u2019 and she left and he stayed there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n One woman said \u201cNo\u201d after her boyfriend proposed with a candlelit heart. Vlad Leto<\/p>\n Caicedo said there are women who feel compelled to say \u201cYes,\u201d since the proposals are so elaborate and photographed \u2014 and she eventually finds out they never made it down the aisle.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause I follow everyone on Instagram, I see some couples are no longer together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n \u201cEspecially when you\u2019re in public, like Central Park or Brooklyn Bridge Park, there\u2019s a lot of pressure because everyone\u2019s there watching.\u201d<\/p>\n
