So it’s about time that a wannabe groom decided to pop the question using inspiration from the famous movie.

Italian Angelo Piccini – with a little help from a proposal planner – hired a private lake in Alexandra Palace, north London, and filled it with 1000 origami swans to propose to his girlfriend, Chiara Grimaldi.

The gesture was a reference to the famous scene in the Hollywood movie where Noah, played by Ryan Gosling, took his love Allie, played by Rachel McAdams, on a boat ride to a beautiful lake that was filled with swans.

The whole moment was captured on camera by Tiffany Wright - the woman who helped Angelo plan his proposal. 

Tiffany was also on hand to row into the lake and help release the origami swans into the water. 

Although the effect wasn't quite as spectacular as the blockbuster movie, from the look on Chiara's face she certainly appreciated the gesture. 

Angelo, who used to work for the finance department at Tescos, then asked his friends and family to hold up signs which contained the worlds, 'Chiara, Will You Marry Me? You are the one.' 

During the video, Chiara is also seen being serenaded by a singer - the woman sings the Italian's favourite songs as she walks alongside them on the banks of the lake.
