Proposal, Relatable, Awkward and Love: Dream proposal

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

By Anonymous - 06/03/2024 15:00

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.

Has anyone thought of the fact that maybe she was more overwhelmed at the thought of having been proposed to in general? Some girls get so emotional over that and overreact. Either way, she was taking it way too far. Four hours? I personally find that to be very unique and romantic, but then again my idea of romantic is a little unorthodox. I guess she's more traditional ,but that doesnt give her an excuse to react like that. #14's comment is so hilarious!

my #16 comment was too harsh aparently. okay, i wont use the harsh part. i said, if i were you, i would have slammed her door off the hinges with a sledgehammer, and told her how much thought i put into this proposal and how much i wanted to be with her. then i would have dumped her.

the harsh part in #16 was me saying how much i didnt like the girl and mentioning her deserving to get slammed with a sledgehammer. it had swears in it and was aparently too graphic for this website. oops. sorry fmylife.

She sounds like a spoiled, ungrateful bitch. What you did was really sweet & thoughtful, & she goes and throws a bitch fit like that? Wow.

My experience tells me she is not what you want. Think about it carefully, maybe this is not what YOU need.

UGh, I wouldn't want to be proposed to that way either. Tacky. S: And the whole family envited? No..... But hey, that's just me. It was still sweet of you. Either way, she's a whiny bitch crying for four hours.

Today, my girlfriend, Abby, called me in tears saying "Yes!" repeatedly. I asked her what she was talking about and she sobbed something about a plane. I haven't yet mustered the courage to tell her it wasn't for her. FML.

agree with #1 and #29... If u really want to spend life with her, u should know what and how she likes. Were u proposing HER or just tried to show off? And yes, it seems there are a lot of problems in that relationship...
