In fact, one Londoner, who did that very thing, has managed to garner national and international press attention.
As well as the interest of the Old Bill.
Now, the owner of a mysterious anonymous Twitter account, purporting to be representing the love-struck pair, has posted a number of images from what appears to be the site of the proposal.
Police attempting to track down the couple, whose romantic moment became a viral sensation after being spotted by a police helicopter, have so far been unsuccessful.
They began looking for the the couple after the message appeared in north-west London’s Gladstone Park, and was captured by a helicopter’s camera.
Thermal footage allowed the police to spot the couple, including a man on one knee.
"We were all very moved,” the staff of the helicopter said in one tweet.
The MPSinthesky Twitter account tweeted: "We think we have just seen the most romantic guy in north London."
They also tweeted: "Who were the lucky couple in Gladstone Park just before midnight? #willyoumarryme?"
However, despite the police appeal and widespread media coverage, the identity of the couple has remained a secret.
The images tweeted today from the @anonymous__d account appear to show a man and woman hugging at the site of the message, along with two further eye-level shots of the candles.
The account also tweeted: "The happy couple like to remain anonymous. They wanted to share the good news with @MPSinthesky and end the suspense with a happy ending."
