Hey guys, looking for a unique way to pop the question? 

You don’t need to rent a tux for this marriage proposal. 

James Free Jewelers teamed up with Newport Aquarium to offer customers a special wedding promotion for the holidays — a penguin proposal. 

Customers at the jewelry store can enter to win a 20-minute exclusive encounter with two African penguins at Newport Aquarium Riverside Room and a Swarovski crystal penguin box (for the ring). 

Only one entry per couple. Entries will be accepted through Dec. 16. A winning couple will be chosen Dec. 17. 

Sara Johnson, digital marketing director for James Free Jewelers, said the first time promotion already is drumming up a lot of interest, even though it just kicked off. 

The total value of the package is nearly $300.
