How would you like to take to the skies and propose in space, with a bird’s eye view of planet Earth? A specialist company will soon be offering this exceptional service to couples, but this spectacular experience comes at a hefty price.
Proposing from space. The scenario seems to come straight out of a science fiction film, or a wonderful dream, and yet it is very real.French agency ApoteoSurprisewhich specializes in organizing extravagant marriage proposals, has come up with a brand new offer for 2025, which will allow lovers to propose to their loved one not on Earth, but in space, at an altitude of precisely 35 km.
Take a moment to imagine: with your partner, you go to a rather unusual airport, called spaceport, and you meet StellarEmbrace, a robot developed by ApoteoSurprise with a British start-up. The latter invites you to board a space capsule, carried by a stratospheric balloon, which will gradually take you beyond the Earth. You think you are dreaming, but you are really there. A tête-à-tête dinner awaits you.
In this spacecraft, you sit comfortably, with all the modern equipment. You enjoy the moment, and that’s when the magic happens: you’re in space, with a bird’s eye view of the Earth. By the time you realize where you are, a Michelin-starred French chef will have gone out of his way to concoct exceptional dishes for you, with the added bonus of launching a perfectly chosen playlist, with Space Oddity by David Bowie, Across the Universe The Beatles or even Walking on the Moon. From there, you just have to let yourself go.
The StellarEmbrace robot serves you all the dishes until dessert. That’s when it brings you a luminous chest with a code that only your partner knows. He opens it and the box contains an engagement ring. It’s time for him to propose to you in the middle of the universe. To keep a record of this memory, the robot will have filmed everything, from start to finish. The only downside, and not the least, is its cost. Expect to pay 750,000 euros to fly into space and make your exceptional marriage proposal.
