Russian mining giant Alrosa has announced the conclusion of its “She said ‘YES!’” contest for the most creative idea of a marriage proposal. The winner, a “young man from Moscow” according to a press release, will receive a diamond ring as a reward.
According to a recent announcement, the winner’s ring was manufactured by Smolensk Diamonds, and the diamond in the ring has Princess fancy shape, I color and SI1 quality. The company is keeping his idea for a marriage proposal secret so as “not to ruin the surprise”. Alrosa added that it plans to “shoot a video based on the winner’s script with participation of real characters”.
All in all, 100 applications were sent to the contest. The most common idea was a proposal during scuba diving. A few of the contestants offered to propose at the soccer matches during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, as well as on a plane or in the movie theatre. More interesting ideas included proposing on the shore of Lake Baikal, at the knight’s tournament and during a gondola ride through the canals of Venice.
