Amazing Flash Mob Wedding Proposals

My blog post back in March 28, 2014. highlighted some of the amazing flash mobs groups performed in various cities around the world.  I  mentioned my admiration for flash mob events. For those that are not familiar with the term "flash mob", Wikipedia defines flash mob as:

A group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.

If you have ever witnessed a flash mob, you will there is a lot of coordinating and planning involved.  However, when it is "revealed", it is amazing! 

With my continued fascination of these groups, I found two amazing wedding proposals that took place this year. As you watch, notice the reaction of the intended recipient.  You will be amazed and at the same time guarantee to shed a few tears.

4 Amazing Global Flash Mob Videos

I have always admired flash mob.  It takes a lot of coordination, planning, and practice.  When it is "showcase", it is amazing! 

Here are my top 4 picks for flash mob videos.  They range from use of various instruments, to singing to dancing.   My favorite is the one done in the Korean Drama, Dream High.  I know it is probably staged, but I love the synchronized dance moves.
 

[ 4 ]  Flash Mob Chorus in Taipei 101, Taiwan


A great performance of popular Taiwanese and Chinese songs performed in the food court of Taipei 101 in Taiwan.

Green Island Serenade (lv-dao-xiao-ye-qu), Jasmine (mo-li-hua), Spring Breeze (wang-chun-feng) and Mountain is Green (gao-shan-qing).

[ 1 ]  Dream High Flash Mob


My number 1 flash mob is from the Korean drama, Dream High (Episode #16).  It was probably staged, but it appears to be random.   There are special appearance by 2AM Jinwoon, Changmin, Seulong, missA Jia, Fei, Min.
