In the fall of 1997, I stood on top of a pyramid and proposed to my wife.

If I were to do that today, I would probably pay locals to serenade her and film the whole thing. 30 minutes later it would be posted on youTube getting 10's of thousands of views.
That's the world we live in. It has to be big, it has to be choreographed, and it has to be streaming.
Which is fine if you are in the arts or work in film or television, but what about those schmucks with more money then creativity.
You start a business that offers to create and manage the whole event... for a price. Book a flashmob, hire actors to create a whole scene. Buy time on the jumbotron, or a billboard, or the side of a bus. Then clandestinely videotape the whole thing and post it to social media
