Top 10 celebrity proposals

When it comes to getting engaged, do the rich and famous opt for elaborate, up-scale proposals or take the more traditional route?

1. Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor

Ben Stiller had arranged a perfect proposal but forgot one important thing - the ring! While his girlfriend was away the actor went to her house and decorated it with rose petals and candles. When she returned Christine found Ben on bended knee. But as he went to give her the ring he realised he had left it in his rucksack in her bedroom. Luckily she still said yes!
