Photo Surprise

This idea may not be complex, showy, or expensive but it's definitely a lot of fun.
The first step is to create separate signs for each individual word in the phrase "Will you marry me?", Then ask close/mutual friends and/or family to pose for a photo with the sign.
Have the photos taken in front of places that provoke memories. (Example: in front of the location of a first date, etc.)
Naturally, when the "Me?" sign is held you would need to find someone to take the photo of you in front of the number one memory spot. Then...
Incorporate these photos into a set of several others that are unrelated.
Casually ask your significant other to look at the photos you have to show them.
When you come to the sequence they will be confused at the first photo (Why is my sister holding a sign that say "Will"?)
...But it will quickly sink in and be such a fun and romantic surprise.
