Well, you can't accuse this guy of not planning ahead. Love-struck young man, Dean Smith, "proposed" to his girlfriend every single day for 365 days before officially popping the question.

So what does this mean exactly?

He recorded himself holding up proposal signs each day for a year, when his girlfriend wasn't around. Then, at the end of that run and on her birthday, he showed her a video montage of all those proposals.

After she watched the mashup, he really proposed in front of her family — all while they were in Aruba on her birthday.

Now, that is planning.

See the video here of his elaborate scheme.
