Nam Tran's Flashmob Proposal to Girlfriend at UCLA
Trang Vu and her boyfriend came to UCLA to visit their alma mater last Saturday when suddenly a flash mob of about 200 people in Bruin Plaza spontaneously joined a choreographed dance. 
For a moment, Vu thought it was a back-to-school event, until she spotted her cousins, and her best friends, and then her parents, who live 300 miles away, all dancing to her favorite love song.
"In that moment, I thought, 'My God, this is for me,'" Vu recalled. "That's when I knew he was up to something big."
"Big" is an understatement.
In fact, Vu's boyfriend - well, fiance, Nam Tran - spent four or five months planning the flash-mob marriage proposal, which is now on YouTube. The video has gone viral, nearing half a million views less than a week later and drawing unexpected media attention.
Vu, 28, and Tran, 32, have been together four and a half years, and he's known for more than a year that he wanted to marry her, so he had time to plan, he said.
"We both love musicals, and we both love dancing, and a flash mob is the closest you can get to a real-life musical," Tran said. "It was also a great way to involve family and friends and have them there celebrating with us. It was something I really wanted to do for her."
Tran, who graduated in '02, brought Vu, '06, back to campus by pretending there would be an independent book fair on campus, just like on their first date.
