IT COULD be the most romantic proposal of all time.

An adoring carpenter built his girlfriend a beautiful wooden cabinet filled with presents.

And in the very bottom drawer was an engagement ring.

The video of the proposal is sure to bring a tear to the eye.

Carly Stene posted it on YouTube with the words: "On October 9, my boyfriend, now fiance, surprised me with the best proposal I could ever have dreamt of. I was completely shocked."

The 22-year-old from Kansas said she at first thought that her "surprise" was the jewellery armoire that Blake Bullinger had designed and built for their two-year anniversary.

The home video shows her looking through each drawer and discovering more and more thoughtful gifts from her 21-year-old boyfriend.

As well as Carly's favourite granola bars and brownie mix, each drawer featured hooks for necklaces and earrings. Source: YouTube

He had tucked all her favourite treats inside the various nooks and crannies, including a giant Rice Krispies bar, gluten-free brownie mix, granola bars, a scented candle and chocolates.

Each drawer also revealed the ingenious elements to the cabinet, including a mirror inside the lid and hooks for earrings and necklaces.

But the best piece of jewellery came at the end.

As Carly find the ring box in the final drawer, the video shows Blake pulling her to her feet and going down on one knee, asking her to "make him the happiest man in the world."

She dissolves into floods of tears at the unexpected proposal, and the newly engaged couple embrace.

YouTube commenters called the proposal "absolutely beautiful" and "magnificent".

"The bar is set gentlemen," added another.

So is it the most romantic proposal of all time, or would your vote go to a message ploughed into a field, an offer posted on Scoopon, a six-year global extravaganza?

If you're planning on popping the question in a special way, there's definitely some tough competition out there.
