'Jurassic Park' Marriage Proposal: Imagine When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth, and If Grant Had Proposed to Obnoxious Little Twerp Who Questions Raptors

This is just about the best way anyone could hope to propose via Sam Neill monologue. If anyone wants to top this, you're going to have to do something with either NBC's Merlin or a romantic spin on Neill's red meat propaganda.

As per the YouTube description, they're ACTUAL PALEONTOLOGISTS, so this isn't even quite as ridiculous as it would be if you or I put on an ascot and eBayed a raptor claw to do this:

My girlfriend and I are paleontologists, and we really love Jurassic Park.

On June 02, 2012, I surprised her with a secret trip to the fictional "Snakewater, Montana," which was the original filming location for the excavation scene at the beginning of Jurassic Park.

On a very windy day, I coaxed her into reenacting the "annoying kid" scene on camera, which was really the beginning of my proposal...she had no idea.

Anyone else looking to propose by way of Jurassic Park references is now encouraged to hide a ring in a can of Barbasol, commission a cartoon DNA strand to pop the question, and/or have a perilous dinosaur adventure that ends in a quiet helicopter ride that allows you and your girlfriend to lovingly gaze at each other as you ponder the preceding events and a possible future with children.
