Guy Proposes With the Most Romantic Custom Monopoly Board Ever

by twistedsifter

 

When Justin Lebon decided to propose to his girlfriend he knew he wanted two things: for it to be a surprise and to be special.

To surprise her he decided to propose on a day she would never expect—Christmas! And to make it special, he decided to make a custom version of her favourite boardgame—Monopoly.

Lebon designed a custom board that charted the journey of their relationship, highlighting special memories along the way. He also reached out his friend Mark Becker of Old Redwood to help build a gorgeous, oversized Monopoly board out of wood.

Below you will find highlights of the amazing board along with a brief overview of the significance of each ‘property’ including the secret compartment Becker built to conceal the ring.

The dice were modified to only 3’s and 4’s; so any roll would automatically take her piece to ‘Chance’…
