Well, here's a proposal she'll never forget.

Online retailer Gilt City is selling a "Flash mob wedding proposal experience" at New York City restaurant Artisanal Fromagerie and Bistro. For the lucky purchaser, the proposal will take place on December 12 and include a choreographed flash mob of dancers and celebratory five-course meal. The price? $20,000.

The deadline to purchase the "experience" is December 5.
