Man Proposes As A Muppet, Girlfriend Obviously Says Yes

Not content with just popping the question, Sid Ceasar proposed with a fake movie trailer featuring himself and his girlfriend as Muppets.

Photographer Sid Ceasar had been dating his girlfriend, Sara, for about ten years. He decided the time had come to propose, but wanted to do it in a unique way. So he ordered custom-made Muppets that resembled the two of them, filmed a fake movie trailer, and slipped the fake trailer into the real previews at a local movie theater.

He ordered the Muppets themselves through FAO Schwartz's Muppet Whatnot Workshop [http://www.fao.com/whatnots/index.jsp;jsessionid=KXv2NLVTgN7TVXy7p1ytLBh2NfQ3vVjhgZW680vLk4lyQpXpxTLV!753308805], and costumed them with a trip to Babies 'R' Us. The trailer filming, editing, and showing went smoothly, and Sara said yes.

Ceasar made the finished trailer available on YouTube for friends and family unable to be in the audience at the original airing, and has a behind-the-scenes video on his photography blog.

Pretty creative. If Jim Henson was still alive, I am sure he would have loved seeing this.

Surprisingly touching, gotta be said.
He's pretty good at Halo too, especially for a puppet.

that's pretty awesome :)

my best friend actually proposed to his wife while dressed up as a big teddy bear. he was pretending to be part of some promotion for some store in the mall, and ambushed her and then pulled out the ring. it was pretty perfect.

Not a fan of the song, but that won't stop me from absolutely loving this video! Definitely the best is when he's playing the video game and his little Muppety hands are going all crazy. Muppets make everything superior!

I don't see how anybody could say 'no' to that. It was very sweet and fills me with ideas for my own future.

No in all seriousness it was a very touching display.

Yay for geeky guys doing creative things to impress their women!

Really wish I would have thought of this when I proposed.
