Dream proposal

By groomfail - 02/03/2009 01:41 - United States

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, whom I'm madly in love with, by having a plane fly over her house spelling "Marry me Abby?" After seeing it, she locked herself in her room and cried for hours, exclaiming that this wasn't how she wanted to be proposed to. I'd invited my entire family. FML

Today, I went through with my elaborate plans to propose to my girlfriend with creativity. I took her skydiving and proposed in midair. She rejected it. Why? She wanted a more "traditional" proposal. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She was so happy that she began flapping her hands around and screaming. She was flapping her hands so hard she smacked herself in the face and started crying. FML

Today, I was walking with my girlfriend of a year and a half on the beach. Everything was fine until she saw a plane with a banner behind it saying "Cassie, will you marry me?" She said yes. I didn't order a plane. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend from the top of a bungee jumping platform at an amusement park. I yelled out, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" from the platform, pointing her out. Turns out, I was pointing at the wrong girl. My girlfriend was very angry and ran away when the wrong girl yelled, "Yes!" FML

Overreaction

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend but she refused. Why? Because instead of asking her, “Will you marry me?” I asked her to “be my wife.” She flew off the handle because “my wife” suggests she would be mine, like ownership, like domestic slavery. I don’t want to marry her anymore; she’s nuts. FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

she should have been thankful, because that's incredibly sweet. i don't understand the obsession with proposals as long as you're genuinely in love and propose in a way that shows you care.

I've only known one other person who had a fiance who bitched about the WAY her boyfriend proposed. She turned out to be insane, and they ended up splitting up. If she's seriously going to cry because you didn't propose how she wanted you to, it's time to break up.

well duh, didn't you know you were supposed to buy a 2.5 million dollar ring, take her on a 3 month round the world cruise, and buy her a $300,000 dress, manicure and full make-over so this could appear to be an out-of-the-blue surprise that she was totally unprepared for. But agree with the above. She's either cheating or mentally unstable because this isn't how you react to being proposed to by someone you love, even if it isn't the most perfet way. Its not like you had a nude lady jump out of a cake with a sign that said "marry me this instant."

well to be fair, you'd have to imagine that this a moment a girl thinks about, and it seems like she wanted it in the traditional way. theres a big difference between a guy on his knee saying it than look up at the sky. and i dont know, inviting his parents to his engagement? are you supposed to do that? like i dont know not every event has to a spectacle that needs airplanes and family members.

Regardless of how you proposed, the fact that you A) thought it out B) obviously made a tremendous effort and C) really wanted to do something unique, shows that you care and wanted it to be special. You should really move on from her, she's obviously a picky, ungrateful bitch. And I agree with # 12. No one with the username "lovesdicks" deserves an opinion.

I agree... what she did was horrible. But why would he dump someone that he loves enough to propose to just because of this? Doesn't love overcome everything? She's probably embarassed that she made a fool of herself and ashamed right now.
