A love struck Minnesota man came up with a tricky but novel scenario to propose marriage to his girlfriend that included searchlights and a 48-foot banner.

Daniel Snow, who had been reluctant to pop the question to his girlfriend, Katie Anderson, sent a limousine to fetch the 24-year-old to take her to the designated spot, The Minneapolis Star Tribune said.

In a detailed "to-do" list, he then provided quarters for her to peer into the binoculars at a Mississippi River overlook site straight at a massive banner with three-foot-high letters hanging from a railing on the St. Paul river bluff. The sign proposed marriage.

It read: "Katwoman Marry Me! -- Mr. X," the nicknames of the couple. She quickly responded "yes," she would marry the man who had gone to these lengths to surprise and overwhelm her.

"I was just floored by his creativity," Anderson told the Star-Tribune. "I can't believe I didn't bawl, but I felt like I was in a dream. It didn't feel like real life."
