We all love a great proposal story. We share them with our friends, we watch them on YouTube, and we cry alone in our bedrooms—tears of happiness, sadness; no one really knows. But we especially love proposal stories that are less flash mob and more creative. Like Paul Phillips’ proposal.

Phillips called up Yoni Limor, an artist based in Nashville, whose work Phillips had seen back in January when Limor was commissioned by a fellow Young Judaea friend to draw a book about him and his future fiancé. So for Phillips’ own proposal to Erika Ramos, he had Limor illustrate a children’s book, featuring a gorilla and a giraffe who are very much in love. Phillips hid the book in the library where he would eventually propose. A photographer documented the moment and put in on Facebook.

Needless to say, the pictures went viral. They’ve been written up on Buzzfeed, Yahoo, and on Wednesday, they were featured on Good Morning America.

The couple is getting married next fall. Mazel tov!

Lamb’s version is pretty faithful to the original lyrics, with one major change: instead of asking, as Mars does, “Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice?” he helpfully asks: “Is it the look in your eyes, or is it these dancing Jews?” as several tallit-clad dancers traipse by Frankel, seated in the back of a moving car (for all we know, this is actually a genius Honda marketing campaign).

While we here at Jewcy appreciate Lamb’s improvisational spirit and have certainly also been known to find dancing Jews distracting, we probably would have gone with something more like, “Is it the look in your eyes, or is it those Danzig Jews?” Or even, “Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this Daily Jewce?”

Just saying.
