IN THIS day and age, women shouldn’t have to wait for an old-fashioned, get-on-one-knee proposal.
In celebration of women who take their relationships into their own
hands, we bring you eight female celebrities who proposed to their men:
1. Judge Judy

Asking the question is a man’s job? Let Judy Sheindlin be the
judge of that! Television’s favourite courtroom personality popped the
question to her second husband, Jerry Sheindlin, in 1978. In an
interview with
DuJour, Judy says, “[H]e tried to weasel out of it ... I told him to pick a date. He picked Flag Day [June 14 in the US].”

The socialite and actress claimed to have proposed to all nine
of her husbands. She started her run early, proposing to her first
husband, a Turkish diplomat, when she was only 15. Much later in life,
she told her biographer, “I pay all my own bills ... I want to choose
the man. I do not permit men to choose me.”

The Queen proposed to her cousin, Prince Albert, in 1839. In
her diary, she describes how she invited him to her room, where she
popped the question. Of that day, she wrote, “I really felt it was the
happiest brightest moment in my life.”
4. Diane Von Furstenberg

In an interview published in
O Magazine
in December 2014, Furstenberg told Oprah that she proposed to her
current husband, Barry Diller. On his birthday, she called him and said,
‘You know, if you want, for your birthday, I’ll marry you.” The happy
couple wed a week later, and have spent 13 happy years together.
5. Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor, who was married a total of eight times to
seven husbands, took it upon herself to propose to her second husband,
British actor Michael Wilding. According to
The Guardian,
the two were married in a London registry office in 1952, and had two
children before their eventual divorce. Taylor later described the
marriage as a calm one: “We had a lovely, easy life, very simple, very
quiet.”
6. Pink

You wouldn’t expect less from pop’s most badass chick. According to
People Magazine,
Pink proposed to her hubby, motocross champion Carey Hart, back in June
2005 — while he was mid-race! As Hart began his third lap, Pink showed
him a sign that read, “Will You Marry Me?” She followed up with a “I’m
Serious” sign. Needless to say, he took her seriously and the two tied
the knot the following year.

Kristen Bell proposed to hubby Dax Shepard on Twitter as soon
as the Defense Of Marriage Act was struck down in 2013. The couple, who
welcomed their first child earlier that year, had decided to hold off on
tying the knot until their gay and lesbian friends could do so too.
8. Jennifer Hudson

Boyfriend David Otunga popped the question first, on Hudson’s
birthday in 2009. So Hudson surprised him on his birthday five months
later by proposing right back! She presented him with a one-of-a-kind
five-carat engagement ring. The two remain engaged, and have a child,
David Jr.
