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

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.

I know you're madly in love with her and I hope it works out... but that was one bratty move on her part. she should have just been thankful you put that kind of effort into it. that's WAY better than just a romantic dinner and down on one knee.

Okay, that was extremely childish on her part. If someone I loved, who I wanted to marry, proposed to me I wouldn't care if it was with a damn ring pop. I would just be happy he wanted to marry me too. That's not to say she shouldn't have her ideal proposal, because I've imagined it myself. But that doesn't give her the right to throw a temper tantrum when things don't go her way.

Love? Love is when you can propose with a ring from a cracker jack box and they will say yes. What an ungrateful and spoiled brat. Why would you want to spend your life with someone that is that ungrateful and unappreciative. Think about all the time and effort you put into that stunt. If she was ungrateful of that HUGE thing, think about how she would never appreciate all the small things you do for her.

she was definitely being over dramatic! she could have just said "yes" but mention that she didn't really like the way it was done and give you a chance to do it again!

I completely agree with #116. It's always *the* moments that make a relationship. I say the way she reacted to the proposal is just the beginning. What next? The diamond isn't bling enough? Her dress isn't expensive enough? The car isn't Rolls Royce enough? My fiance proposed to me outside of a movie theater multiplex. He didn't get down on one knee and there was no one else around. We went on to see the movie after (it was Bolt, the animated/CGI movie, and we're 29-years-old). It was the fact that he put so much effort in wanting to surprise me. I find it so much sweeter that he was planning this for months...I wouldn't relive that moment in any other way. There are other girls out there that will appreciate what you have to offer A LOT more.

Any prissy little harpy who doesn't appreciate the effort and thought that went into a proposal like that deserves to die a spinster. I commend you, sir, for going to such lengths, even if the little princess didn't appreciate it. They did a whole episode of Sex and the City about how Charlotte's proposal was all wrong and she flailed and cried and I think as a result a certain type of woman is now convinced that's normal. Find a woman who isn't such a five year old, man - you deserve much better.

#90 I read your profile, and you're an adorable young man. The girl isn't worth it - one day you'll make someone a wonderful husband and it'll be this silly girl's loss. I have a cousin about your age and I'd love to see her find a nice young lad like you. Chin up.

Dude **** that dumb bitch. Omg, i'd tell her go ******* cry more you pussy. Ugh girls like that deserve to be old and living with cats.

Wow..... Dude thats like, the most romantic way to propose to someone.... If that isnt how she pictured it, how did she then? Honestly, she is obviously a little crazy, and you deserve better than that.
