Today, my fiancé proposed to me at the movies. The movie stopped in the middle, and my fiancé stands up, takes out a microphone and announces to the entire theatre that he loves me. Right when he went on one knee, someone shouts, "Turn the movie back on!", and throws a cup of coke at my head. FML

Well, it is kind of rude to interrupt the movie for other people. I know I would get made if the movie I pair for suddenly stopped in the middle so some guy I don't know could propose.

Who would even think of interrupting a movie to propose? Dumbest idea ever. Plus getting down on one knee in a movie theater? Ewwwwwwww. Those floors are nasty.

Wow people it's JUST a movie and I'm sure they resumed it after they stopped. People nowadays are so rude and self-centered. And to actually throw something a someone who is experiencing the most joyous moment of their lives is just messed up. Congratulations OP :) It sounds like you'll never be bored with this one :)

I don't get it. It wasn't selfish of the guy, he was trying his best to make it special for the OP, that's a selfless and romantic act, not SELFISH. What if that place or movie had special meaning to them, and it meant a lot to be proposed to there? I mean, good God, it's not selfish. And if you look at it that way then fine, but it's a special moment in their life, they DESERVE to be selfish, and the center of attention for two freakin' minutes okay? I don't get it. Honestly. It's not inconviencing you. So you have to sit in that theater for a couple more minutes, so you pause the movie for two minutes, big deal. I mean, I've been to theatre's where they had technical difficulties, the movie stopped halfway through and NO ONE got a refund, and people weren't half as mad as the people in these comments seem to be, I mean good God. They're getting married. It's special to them, stop being an ass for two seconds, and be happy for them even if you don't know them or care about them. Besides, what if that was you? What if someone you genuinely loved, proposed to you in public, whether you thought it was romantic or not, would you want people throwing stuff at you? NO! I mean, in all honesty, this just shows how selfish and imature everyone is these days, it's sickening. Let them have two minutes in the spotlight. I mean, you're still get your money's worth, it's not TRULY inconvienencing you in any way, you just want to whine about it, 'cuz you're horribly selfish. It's pathetic.

PDA is kind of annoying, and I do think your boyfriend probably didn't think this through very well. But from what I can tell, men usually don't think much at all. He was trying to be sweet, he may have just been a little blinded by love. :) Yeah, it was kind of dumb, but whoever threw the soda was kind of rude. (really rude)

People can be so harsh. If I was sitting in that audience, I would have oooed and awwed at it. That is adorable and something I haven't heard done before. Like seriously people, if it was your other proposing to you, you wouldn't stop to criticize them on their method of proposal, which I admit was pretty unique, something I probably wouldn't even ever consider as a place where people propose. As for the lames in the audience who couldn't wait a minute while you two got engaged, they suck -_- The end. BTW, Congratulations on your engagement! At least it is one you'll never forget ;D

Oiy, your boyfriend tried to be somewhat original...and ends being screwed over =( I think it's screwed up how the guy threw that at you, I mean, proposals are beautiful! He couldn't have waited for a few minutes (or less) for the movie to come back on?! Well, courtesy is definitely a thing of the past -.-

who proposes in a movie theatre???? what a loser. but he still didnt deserve that people are assholes they shouldnt have thrown the soda

Let's do some math here. Let's assume there's 300 people in the theater. He takes five minutes. He just altogether wasted 1500 minutes or more than a day's worth of people's time. What an asshole. Like someone said above, that's like proposing at a restaurant and forcing everyone in the restaurant to stop eating until you're done proposing.

LOL UR BF IS A DOOSHE 4 INTRRUPIN MAH MOOVIE Seriously. Who cares? It's five minutes, and you'll see the rest of the movie. Okay, I can see being a little peeved about the interruption, but really, it's good: you can take a bathroom break without missing anything important! Whoever the the coke at you was extremely rude; but I don't think it would change a thing if they threw it at your boyfriend instead. I also think it's cool that he did it at a theater instead of doing something crappy like putting a ring in dessert. It was sweet of him to try something like that, though maybe he could have planned it better- during the credits maybe? Honestly, people who think he's selfish are just being ridiculous. :/ It's not like he caused the audience to miss anything important. I suppose some of these commenters don't realize that someone's lifelong happiness might be slightly more important than a moviegoer's convenience. >>

#208 But he wasted no more than a couple of minutes of each person's time individual, it's not like it's all placed on one person, so I mean, if there is a wreck and a traffic jam, and there are 300 people who wait 5 minutes for to try and get through, no one says that the person who have the wreck wasted over a days worth of people's time. That makes absolute no sense. And chances are, depending on where they are, there probably weren't that many people at the movie theatre. I mean, movies are expensive, nowadays, and less people go. I've been to movies that were pretty highly anticipated on like opening day, and usually there were only like 50 people tops at one showing, and I live in a fairly large city. Either way, that doesn't make it right, for people to throw stuff at her, or whine because they couldn't be selfless for a couple of minutes. Chances are it didn't even TAKE five minutes. And five minutes isn't too much to ask anyway. He was PROPOSING. It's special. People need to not be so selfish.
