Instead of flowers and a diamond ring, Spanish painter Sandro Thomàs, who goes by Sath, decided that when he proposed to his French girlfriend, he was going to do what he knew best.
"I tend to think I communicate better through my paintings than through my words, and in this special occasion couldn’t be an exception," he explained.
Do to their professional lives, the couple had been separated for nearly a month. That gave Sath ample time to create a truly unique masterpiece for her return.
It's not entirely traditional, but then all engagements and weddings should be as unique as the relationships they represent. Just ask the couple that skipped the time-honored first dance in favor of something more suited to their tastes.
Check out what Sath did to pop the question to his girlfriend, and you might just think diamonds are overrated. You can also see more of his work on Facebook and Instagram.

Sath painted the mural during the month that he and his girlfriend were separated due to their careers.
Although it was tough being apart, we think Sath really made the best of his situation.
He took his inspiration from the Art Nouveau movement, which features a lot of delicate, curving forms and nature elements.
And of course, he included the special message.
The name of the piece is Anillave, a combination of the Spanish words for ring ("anillo") and key ("llave").
The key and ring symbolize their relationship, and the message reads "Will you marry me?" in French.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, she said yes.
