1. A marriage proposal during a One Direction concert

Marriage proposals are a big deal, and some people really like to go all out.

After she said yes, Styles joked that he would have brought the two up on stage, but Bradley rushed things.

Bradley made it happen by tweeting his plans to the band, and got #1DProposal trending from other fans.
