With her family present, a plain shopping trip to the mall turned out to be the most special day of her life.

The fantastic outcome that the video shows requires a lot of planning; for days or even weeks in advance. If you want to plan a similar proposal for your girl, you just cannot decide today and have it tomorrow! Plan well in advance. You will need to get your act together, decide on a venue, ask for permissions, book a camera crew, choose supporting performers and finalise the right day.

Make sure that you choose the right day to propose. For a flash mob proposal, a busy weekday would not be a smart idea. Plan it on a holiday or maybe a special occasion, when you can have a lot of crowd gathered to create more drama. Like, in Arsh’s case, it was the sale season on, so the mall was flooded with shoppers!
A flash mob proposal will only work if you have the right kind of crowd to gather and participate in the excitement. The best place for it is a mall, or other venues like theme parks, crowded shopping streets on weekends or gaming centres.

Remember that you are planning to perform in front of a large audience. Pictures will be taken, videos will be recorded and uploaded online, and shared. So, make sure you plan something that is not boring. Like Arsh, plan for some high energy songs to groove on and have great dancers. If you are planning to bank on your vocal skills, make sure you practice a lot and well in advance, so you don’t end up goofing up in front of the large crowd. Try to think of innovative ways to make the whole act foot-tapping and least boring.

This is the most important part. Plan the flash mob in such a way that it becomes very clear right at the onset that it is about “her” and your love, and that there is a possible proposal coming up. Your performance should not be confused with some random publicity stunt or a prank. Fill the air with enough romance to make the difference clear and slip little romantic hints to sweep her into the right frame of mind. Just like Arsh, involve her best friend or sister in the act so that it becomes very clear. This will prepare her for what is coming up and the sudden rush of adrenaline to seal the deal. Take a hint from Arsh, who planned a performance on all of Balraj’s favourite dance numbers. He slowly but swiftly joined the dancers and got down on his knees before the act got boring.
Remember, your body language will play a decisive role in the proposal. Her eyes will be fixated on you and little things here can make the ending to a “Happily ever after” and “Oh, he is just some guy I knew!” So, time your act carefully. Your entry into the act, your moves and the time when you pop the question will be crucial. The focus of the act - the big question - should not take so long that your girl gets confused and loses interest, nor should it be so quick that it fails to appear romantic.
