How about taking to the skies and proposing in space, with a bird’s-eye view of planet Earth? A specialized company will soon offer this exceptional service to couples, but this spectacular experience comes at a significant cost.
Propose from space. The scenario seems straight out of a science fiction film, or a wonderful dream, and yet, it is very real. L’French agency ApoteoSurprisespecializing in organizing extravagant marriage proposals, has developed a brand new offer for 2025, which will allow lovers to ask for the hand of their loved one not on Earth, but in space, 35 km from altitude precisely.
Take a moment to imagine: with your partner, you go to an airport that is unusual to say the least, 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’re dreaming, but you’re really there. A dinner for two awaits you.
In this spacecraft you sit comfortably, with all modern equipment. You enjoy the moment, and that’s where the magic happens: you are 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 go with the flow.
The StellarEmbrace robot serves you all the dishes up to dessert. That’s where he brings you a glowing 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 track of this memory, the robot will have filmed everything, from start to finish. The only downside, and not the least important, is its cost. Count on 750,000 euros to fly into space and make your exceptional marriage proposal.
