For some romantic men, getting on bended knee to propose to their girlfriend simply isn't good enough. That's when Jenifour Jones steps in. As a professional proposal planner, she helps to create a unique fantasy day for their significant other, such as sending the bride-to-be on a scavenger hunt throughout the city, picking up clues that eventually lead her to the spot where her man is waiting to pop the question. The elaborate proposals can range anywhere from $5,000-$20,000, but Jenifour says it's money well spent for men who might need a little push in the right direction. "Sometimes guys will come to me and say, 'I love ice hockey and I want to do it at a game,'" Jenifour explains. "And then I'll ask about the girlfriend and he'll say, 'She really loves beaches, Malibu and horseback riding, and I know she would love to do that.' I say, 'Well, don't you think you should make it her perfect proposal and not yours?'"

Jenifour advises that when you're putting together your proposal, you should start with your own love story -- which is just what Matt does when he plans a surprise for his girlfriend Danielle, who is sitting in Rachael's audience. After getting over the shock of seeing a video tape of their relationship (including their wish to honeymoon one day in Italy), Danielle is stunned as the studio is transformed into a romantic Italian garden, complete with musicians and lemon trees! As their family gathers round, Matt appears with diamond ring in hand, kneels before Danielle and pops the question! Watch the video to see the emotional proposal.

As an engagement gift to the couple, Rachael presents them with a trip to Italy, courtesy of United Vacations and Starwood Preferred Guest.
