Flowers Among 'Most Romantic' Celebrity Proposals

Flowers cracked Brides.com's top 10 list of the most "romantic, surprising and extravagant celebrity proposals." Pop singer Christina Aguilera's February 2005 floral-clad proposal took the No. 8 slot . Jordan Bratman, music executive and Aguilera's boyfriend of three years, proposed "in a room filled with flowers, balloons and a stack of gift boxes, each of which contained a different gift and poem; the last box had the ring."

Brides.com just released the list to keep up with the news of the engagement of Jenna Bush, daughter to President George W. Bush and first Lady Laura. Also highlighted on the top 10 list are former president John F. Kennedy's proposal to Jacqueline Bouvier, Prince Rainer and actress Grace Kelly, and actors Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

What the list forgot to mention was a follow-up to each celebrity's proposal. For example, to celebrate their first wedding anniversary, Bratman duplicated his proposal to Aguilera, complete with a flower-filled room of roses and pink and red balloons and all.
