Everyone loves a good wedding, don't they? And of course, before the big day, you have the excitement of the proposal. Is it going to be a lavish declaration of love in front of their entire family and friends, or will it be an intimate and tender moment between two people whose hearts and souls belong together? Either way, obviously the most important part is the yes. Apart from the fear of ultimate rejection when you present your better half with an engagement ring, you have to hope that it's going to be smooth, but also witty and romantic enough to compete with the ones you endlessly watch on Youtube.

Whilst some fans have designed rings to look like the Enterprise, others have gone for the simpler, no nonsense approach instead. Engage. It's straight to the point and rather arousing if you're into dominance, because it's not exactly a question, is it? Let's just hope that they have a sense of humour and a strong loyalty to Gene Roddenberry's creation.
