The most epic proposal has been achieved by a Brisbane man who rented the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil.

Cooper Weldon told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, "It was definitely very special."

"I guess it all started back when we were talking about her wanting me to propose, and I guess we talked about what requests she had. And one of those was that she didn't want it anywhere in public with lots of people around."

"I thought it could be really cool to actually do it in a super public place, but to make it private and just intimate with just us," Mr Weldon continued.
