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

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.

RUN AWAY NOW. DO NOT PASS GO; DO NOT COLLECT $200. What an ungrateful b****! If my boyfriend would have done that, I would have jumped his bones right then and there. This is a sign of things to come. Proceed with caution.

Why don't you just invite the whole family again, and dump her in front of everyone. Maybe that's more her preference. That being said, the way you proposed was tacky, and could be miscontrued as trying to "buy" her love. But if you've been together long enough that you to want to be married, she should get over it and just say yes.

On behalf of women everywhere, this woman is NOT our representative. The whole point of a proposal is surprise, not some stupid complex about everything being perfect. I thought that was very romantic. :-) Hope you find a better girl to marry.

You should have saved the loot and just wrote it out in french fries on a table at McDonald's.

Wow. I'm in a somewhat similar situation -- if I don't make the "perfect" proposal I'm absolutely fubar'd. #1: Sometimes a girl just won't tell you exactly what she wants -- she expects you to "just know". I think that's taking it a little too far, "knowing" has both give and take. We (men) aren't mind readers.

@33: Having a place spell out the proposal is trying to buy her love? As opposed to what? Buying an VERY expensive engagement ring? Also dude, break it off. This is just another way of women being vindictive bitches who are shallow as hell. Run for the hills.

The proposal isn't important- the marriage is. People put too much emphasis on the ceremonial aspects and don't really pay enough attention to the substantive aspects of marriage. This is a sign of what is to be- do you really want to spend your life consoling someone?

Not every girl wants a big huge public proposal...in fact, most girls don't want that. They would prefer to have something personal and genuine, not planned out with no emotion and a lot of publicity. I would have cried too, that's way embarrassing!
