Who doesn't love a good TV proposal? Whether you've spent a lot of time this year binging your old favourite box sets or found some new shows to enjoy, everyone has their favourite TV proposal. Here are our top 10 proposal scenes of all time. Is your favourite here?
Monica and Chandler -Â Friends
We had to start this list with arguably the most iconic proposals of millennial memory. Chandler and Monica's secret romance all the way to the arrival of their twins is a favourite of TV romances. However, the drama and surprise that led to their famous proposal scene gets the butterflies going every time. We love this scene and that's why it's first on the list.
Lady Mary and Matthew -Â Downton Abbey
As far as period dramas go, Downton Abbey really is a national favourite. We love this proposal scene between Lady Mary and Matthew. From the beauty of the falling snow to the crescendo of strings; it's so romantic!Â
Gavin and Stacey -Â Gavin & Stacey
For Gavin and Stacey fans, this scene NEVER gets old. Gavin and Stacey's whirlwind romance takes off after Gavin proposes in just the second episode. The romance of the spontaneous proposal combined with the hilarity of the police take-down makes this scene a true classic.
Piper and Alex - Orange is the New Black
Everyone wants someone to love them through both love and pain. We love this proposal between Piper and Alex on Orange is the New Black. Anyone else get butterflies when watching this adorable scene?
Jake and Amy - Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Brooklyn Nine-Nine fans love the Peraltiago partnership and many were ecstatically surprised when we were treated to a proposal that was fitting to their combined personalities in the "HalloVeen" episode. This scene is definitely a favourite!
Winston and Aly - New Girl
Talk about an unconventional proposal. How New Girl managed to make a public toilet look like a romantic place for a proposal, we will never know; but there's no doubt that this scene tugs at the heart strings for many who watch it.
Nessa and Smithy -Â Gavin and Stacey
Gavin and Stacey returned in 2019 for a long-awaited Christmas special. After meeting (and hating) Smithy's new girlfriend, Sonia, Nessa gets down on one knee and asks Smithy to marry her. This uncharacteristically vulnerable moment from Nessa had us all holding our breath. It ended in screaming though - from the audience at the TV - because the show ended without an answer! What do you think he said?
