14 DAY TRIAL // Popping the big question is one of, if not the, most life-changing thing you could ever do, as it will join you with another for life. Well, if you don't divorce. But anyway, it's romantic when it happens, so long as you propose with style.
As it happens, style is in no short supply when it comes to an Israeli man by the name of Sefi. Although it might not align with everyone's idea of romance to use flying drones and 3D printed jewelry to ask your potential spouse to finally marry you.
Sefi did something really, really strange, and we don't mean the whole “Will You Marry Me” writing on the sky. No, we are referring to his choice of engagement ring.
As it happens, he didn't “choose” the engagement ring. He built one himself. Or had a 3D printer produce one.
Even he didn't just chug out a plastic ring apparently. Instead, after trying out several techniques with the help of some friends, he settled on a two-part process. First, he 3D printed the design out of wax, then he made a mold of the 3D print.
The mold was later used to create the ring out of molten white gold, after which a diamond was added. All in all, not a bad showing at all. It might be the most personalized, feeling-filled engagement ring out there even.
For those who want more of the juicy, romantic details, the ring has “I will betroth you to me forever” written on one side, in Hebrew, and a pattern on the other side. The infinity symbol is squeezed in too.
As we have already said, however, the ring was only one of the so-called wedding “cliches” that Sefi indulged in. One could even say he used them all, and made them work as if they'd never been used and abused to exhaustion in cinematography and theater.
A quadcopter with LED lights was used (remote-controlled via a computer) to spell out words in the air. Some fireworks were involved in the display as well. And everything around Sefi's chosen venue for the popping of the question was technological in one way or another.
The bottom line was that Sefi wanted to make an impression on his beloved Tania, so he took everything he'd ever done to impress her before and turned it up to eleven. He even got 20 people to help him out with everything.
“I used to build things all the time to impress her, so it seems like closure to me to propose in a way that will impress her, that has to do with creating things,” Sefi said.
