Valentine’s alert: UAE couples propose in outer space - really

Men don’t have it easy, at least when it comes to matters of the heart.



It’s a generalised observation, I agree, but the pressures of scoring on the much-publicised annual day celebration of romance could be a bit daunting for love-struck Romeos.

More so because women are a hard bunch to impress, with the routine of sparkling diamonds, candlelit dinners and rose bouquets turning a tad repetitive.

With Valentines’ Day just around the corner, and their ladyloves waiting to be wooed in spectacular, brag-worthy fashion, there’s a lot at stake for the men.

There’s no reason to worry though. A romance expert in Paris is willing to help out with the love exercise.

Parisian entrepreneur Nicolas Garreau has devised extraordinary ways to make an impression.

He claims his groundwork will guarantee that your lover will skip a heartbeat when you finally go down on your knees and pop the question.

In fact, this year he has upped the stakes by planning a marriage proposal in space for the first-time ever.

A 35-year-old French man’s proposal will turn historical as he becomes the first man, ever, to propose to his girlfriend in space.
