Romantic dinner in space: ApoteoSurprise launches new marriage proposal service.

If marriage proposals have not gotten elaborate enough, ApoteoSurprise is taking things up a notch or three with their out-of-this-world engagement trip. Lovers will soon have the chance to propose while hovering above Earth. French proposal agency ApoteoSurprise announced its new offering: a romantic dinner in space, set to begin in 2025.

The experience takes couples on a two-hour ascent aboard a space capsule lifted by a helium-inflated balloon, reaching an altitude of 35 kilometers. The capsule offers 360° views of Earth and space. Once there, couples will enjoy a gourmet five-course meal prepared by a Michelin-starred French chef and served by StellarEmbrace, an AI-powered robot.

After the meal, the robot will prompt the suitor to propose, offering a luminous box containing the engagement ring. The experience concludes with a two-hour descent back to Earth, with every moment of the journey recorded.

Founded in 2006, ApoteoSurprise specializes in extravagant marriage proposals and plans to expand with a romantic trip around the moon by 2027.
