26. Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry

Actress and talk-show host Sara Gilbert came up with one of the most quirky and charming ideas we've ever heard for a proposal when she asked for the hand of per long-term partner Linda Perry in April 2013. The couple went out to enjoy a picnic, only for Perry to find that they were suddenly surrounded by musicians playing 'Lovesong' by the Cure. Gilbert then put on a series of t-shirts, each one with a word on it. In order, they said 'will', 'you' 'marry' and then 'me'! Obviously, Perry said yes.

The musical proposal would have resonated with Perry, who found fame herself as the lead singer of 4 Non Blondes in the 80s and 90s. Perry and Gilbert have now been married since March 2014 and have welcomed a son named Rhodes during that time.
