It doesn't cost much to be romantic, especially not when it comes to a proposal. As long as it's special and meaningful, engagements are almost always one of the most important and sweetest moments in a couple's history. Some celebrities have really gone above and beyond to ask their significant others for their hands in marriage. Like when Alex Rodriguez made sure the moment he asked Jennifer Lopez to be his wife was magical. He waited until sunset to take her on a walk along the beach before he got down on one knee and gave her a gorgeous diamond ring that rivaled the beauty of the ocean.
