Breaking News: Say 'Yes' Among the Stars!

Starting in 2026, couples seeking the most extraordinary way to pop the question will have a chance to do so at the edge of space. Aboard a specially designed space capsule lifted by a stratospheric balloon, lovers can savor a gourmet meal while floating 35 kilometers above Earth’s surface.

This groundbreaking service is offered by ApoteoSurprise, a French agency renowned for orchestrating extravagant marriage proposals. Known for its creative and luxurious approach, the agency is now redefining romance by providing couples with a front-row seat to the curvature of the Earth and the vastness of space.

A Journey Beyond Imagination

The experience begins at the spaceport, where the couple is greeted by a professional pilot and introduced to their state-of-the-art capsule. The futuristic, spherical cabin is equipped with panoramic windows offering 360-degree views of the Earth’s blue halo and the infinite blackness of space.

At the center of the capsule, a table is set with meticulous detail, evoking the elegance of Parisian fine dining. The five-course meal is crafted by a Michelin-starred French chef, accompanied by wines and champagne designed to complement the setting.

Adding a futuristic touch, an AI-powered robot named StellarEmbrace ensures the evening is as seamless as it is unforgettable. Developed in collaboration with a British tech startup, the robot adapts to the emotions and preferences of the couple, creating a personalized and interactive experience. From presenting a bouquet of roses to delivering the engagement ring at the perfect moment, StellarEmbrace is the ultimate companion for this celestial journey.

An Unparalleled View of Earth

The helium-inflated balloon lifts the capsule on a gentle ascent lasting two hours. At 35 kilometers above sea level, the couple will be above 99% of Earth’s atmosphere, a vantage point that only a few hundred astronauts have ever experienced. This rare perspective, known as the “overview effect,” often inspires a profound sense of connection and awe.

As the couple enjoys their gourmet meal, iconic songs such as David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” and The Beatles’ “Across the Universe” play softly in the background. Just before dessert, StellarEmbrace introduces a moment of playful drama: presenting a luminous box containing the engagement ring. The surprise proposal is set against the unmatched backdrop of Earth seen from space, creating a memory to cherish forever.

Back to Earth, Forever Changed

After the proposal and a leisurely descent, the couple returns to the spaceport, where they receive a recording of their entire journey—a keepsake capturing every moment of their extraordinary day.
