An Indian-origin boyfriend in the UK is making headlines after he pulled off an elaborate proposal for his wife-to-be around the popular US television sitcom 'Friends'.
Mitesh Jadva came up with the stunt because his girlfriend, Anisha Patel, is a huge fan of the show and can quote dialogues from episodes.
After a romantic dinner at the Shard, London's tallest building, to mark the couple's fifth dating anniversary, Jadva took his girlfriend to a park nearby where she found a candlelit sofa identical to that featured in the 'Friends' opening credits and five singers serenading her with the theme tune 'I'll be there for you' by The Rembrandts.
"The journey to the park in the cab was when the nerves really started to kick in. Luckily we picked the only day that week it didn't rain so we were just counting on the sun to go down on time," he told the 'Daily Mirror'.
Inevitably, Patel was in tears even before he went down on one knee and accepted his proposal.
The couple, from Kingsbury, North West London now plan to have a traditional Indian wedding but hope to include some 'Friends' themed details into the decorations at their reception ceremony.

The entire proposal extravaganza was organised by a London-based proposal service company.
".........I couldn't be happier. As cheesy as it sounds, seeing her smiling the whole way through made it all seem worth five years of waiting for the moment," Jadva said.
The entire night Anisha kept telling me how overwhelming it was and how she was so happy she felt like it wasn't actually happening. I'm just happy she liked it and now has a memory for life," he added.
