Today, in front of family and friends, as I got down on one knee, my girlfriend fainted. Her father, a lawyer, rushed over and said, "Anything she says for the next 72 hours is not legally binding" and whisked her away. FML

Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. 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

Today, my boyfriend proposed. I fainted due to the excitement. He took it as a "no" and won't pick up my calls. FML

Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but I was so nervous that I had a panic attack, fainted and split my head open. My girlfriend then fainted at the sight of the blood. An onlooker had to call an ambulance for both of us. FML

Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML

Today, on my wedding day, when they said, "You may kiss the bride", I swung my wife over in the romantic fashion and went in for the kiss. Unfortunately, my hands were sweaty as I was nervous, and she slipped under my grip. She fell and was knocked unconscious in front of hundreds of people. FML

Today, I thought it would be romantic to propose to my girlfriend during halftime at a local football game. I arranged everything with the stadium staff. When the moment came, I got down on one knee, only for her to hiss, "Are you serious? Right here?" She ran off, leaving me kneeling in front of hundreds of people. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." FML

I have a vision of a Phoenix Wright themed wedding... may have something to do with the fact I was up all night replaying the games.

What a douche bag move of him! Well as long as the daughter loves you, it doesn't matter what the dad thinks.

didn't u get his blessings before you asked her??

No one does that these days which is a shame. I know a lot of parents would love that. I also know a lot of parents who would say no.. I guess that's why no one asks!

I know my dad would love it if a guy asked for his blessing.. It'd give him a chance to break out his 'I've got a shotgun and a basement' speech :)

the guy who askes my dad for permission is the guy who gets a no from me. my father does not own me so no there is nothing respectful about it.

If the two of you do decide to go through with the wedding, I suggest you elope.

ah, the good old-fashioned buzzkill. and, of course, that lawyer-in-law wouldn't help either. >

Ha, most people don't need a lawyer unless they divorce. You're having one right from engagement. Good luck with that :P PS - a marriage proposal doesn't constitute a legally binding contract. Only marriage does that ;)
