By Proposal Fail - 01/01/2015 05:47 - United States - Holbrook

Today, my proposal to my girlfriend was supposed to be exactly when the ball dropped at midnight. Unfortunately my mother called her at 11:55pm to ask her if she liked the ring. FML

That is terrible. Did you play it off like it was meant to happen? You could have given her your speech and played it so it ended at exactly midnight and then she would say yes at like 5 seconds to midnight and then you could have kissed her xD

Well hopefully she didn't say something dumb to your mom

Why would she call her? It would make more sense to call you first.

Or not call at all and let them enjoy their night

Exactly, if I was gonna call I'd wait at least 30 mins after for them to be all emotional and everything.

She did you a favor. Ball drop proposals are very cliche.

What's wrong with proposing on a holiday?

Maybe his girlfriend loves New Years or finds marriage proposals on holidays romantic.

I think the plan was pretty cute. What's bad about proposing on holidays? I find it to be more special and romantic.

wanting to start off the best year of her life in a romantic way is horrible? I sense a, "I don't understand women, FML" being written by you very soon.

I just hope she said yes, and you were both able to laugh it off

My dad did that the weekend I was going to propose. We stopped at my parent's house on the way to where I was going to propose to her and he says 'Where is it? Do you like it?' to her...

Imagine: it's New Years Eve in New York City. The wind is cold. The warmth of surrounding bodies barely is felt. Then, the train wreck of horrifying magnitude begins with the phone call from mommy dearest ruining the biggest moment of your life. Now you're in salvaging mode, trying to recover as much of the magic of that moment so effortless torn from your grasp. So, you propose right then and there, your long recited speech completely forgotten and all you can utter, as your heart pounds furiously, is "I love you. Will you marry me?" Yet despite all that, she still says no. Happy awkward new year! Neither of you can even run away from the other as the crowd erupts in cheers and jubilation of the newly set year.

@50 I don't think he meant that comment in a serious. I found it kinda funny :p

Evil? Nah. Imaginative of the possibilities?definitely. Therein lies the problem of being an artist and an avid bibliophile. ;)
