Crystal's proposal

One night after dinner, Lofai insisted to take Crystal to a park for a walk at 11pm. She's a bit tired though coz of her flu. Sitting and chatting on the swings in a dark quiet park, he suddenly took this little wooden music box out and manually turned the wooden knot on the side. Wedding tunes thus came. He then stopped turning and music stopped accordingly. He knelt down, took the ring out, and proposed seriously.

As a creative director, is it creative enough? I know I have bias towards Lofai yet there are really quite a few things that I don't feel comfortable with:
1. This guy claimed that he got many many creative plans for proposal and finally chose this one. What's special about this one by the way.
2. There's no need to be special but I just doubt his sincerity. He couldn't find the way to the park and wandered around that area until Crystal wanted to get back home. It seems that he's just finding a quiet place at that moment. Obviously not a well planned night.
3. When he's proposing, he said all the elements were there: romantic music, a ring and flowers (he said the tree on the music box is flowers).
4. He didn't remove the price label underneath the music box, there is a sharp pink label written $13.90.
5. Everybody knows Crystal wants a proper wedding ceremony. He doesn't want it. So they are negotiating now and Crystal is insisting a western cocktail party at least.
It seems I should not murmur too much but that's what Crystal showed me last night. I really hope I can say these things to her but just can't.
