Nearly all young men dance like fruits now, it’s their lack of practice, combined with youthful cartilege in the hips. Doesn’t mean anything except they should dance more.
Buy some rifles and pistols, some blanks, military garb and black face masks (the kind terrorists use) for your friends, and get a bad-ass action hero look for yourself. Then, call your lover, tell her to remain calm in a hushed voice while several of your buddies surround the house. Have them yell at her to come out. This is when you show up and just start firing (remember, these are BLANKS). After your buddies are all “dead” get down on your knees, open up the jewelry box and say, “I’d go through worse than this if it meant you were safe. Will you marry me?”
Here’s you top it. You know her heart, and you know who you are. It’s not about “topping” a proposal. It’s about winning her heart! If you are considering marrying her (whoever your girl is) you might have already won it! Just ask her. No hoopla, no drama, just ask her. It will be just as special, I promise
There are great videos of guys getting publically rejected on You Tube. One of my favorites is at a basketball game where the (overweight, less than attractive but clearly still WAY too picky) girl runs away. Poor guy.
That was at a Sac Kings game. I almost went that night but I think I’m glad I didn’t. Public embarrassment is only awesome when I’m not there in person.
Public proposals are so tacky also…he seems like a fruit…metro station? come on, if I were her, the moment I would hear that song come on, I would run for the hills I wish the both of them a life of happiness, and hopefully he won’t turn out a fruit in the end…
For the most part I’m right there with you, the public specticals tick me off. I started watching this expecting to be discusted, but as soon as it started I was smiling…
Before it was done I was laughing and clapping for them! It was playful and sweet, like something you’d see in a movie, but some how wasn’t cheesy.
I’m about as bitter and angry about love and romance as they come, but this little show almost gave me hope… it was THAT GOOD!
I guess I’m getting old…..that was the stupidest and most lame thing I’ve ever seen. Isn’t anything private anymore? What’s wrong with a nice dinner, soft music and the question?
Not only that…the guy was gay (hope she figures that out soon), the song and group are lame ass and the idea was just plain stupid.
see this is the problem! why do i have to be creative?i love her and she loves me end of story. and i make a nice quiet dinner, i’m schmo! then i don’t know what the hell proposal dinner means. u know what, i didn’t make dinner. i just asked her the question while we were cruising around in the car. she said yes. and i’ve been married for 9 years and have two lovely daughters. creative my ass!
I agree with somedude. My husband of 16 years asked me while sitting in the car in the parking lot of a grocery store. Romantic, huh? So what, we were and still are madly in love. It’s not how he asked that mattered.
Well of course your girl is going to say yes no matter how you propose if she loves you or at least doesn’t think you’re a complete loser, but I’m sure she would have appreciated a little more thought going into it instead of after leaving the Taco Bell drive thru you lean over and say “Hey, wanna get hitched or somethin? Awesome! Now pass me the hot sauce.” Really makes a gal feel special.
I agree. To each his own. I love my husband more than anything in the world. He is sweet and caring, but he isn’t overly creative or traditionally romantic, though (I blame it on the math degree). He proposed to me at the laundry mat, without a ring, because he is awkward and has no sense of timing. That is one of the things I love about him. If he pulled a stunt like this (or even a fancy restaurant) I would know that some one else planned it. However, this young man seems to be very creative and outgoing. If he proposed at dinner with the ring in the champagne, I’m sure his girlfriend would wonder what was wrong.
Well, Taco Bell does have a hot sauce that says “Will you marry me?” on it… seems like they’re ok with the idea of becoming a drive-thru engagement chapel.
That being said, my dad proposed to my mom while sitting at a bar – “Hey, you think we should get married or something?” – no ring either, and they’ve been married 27 years.
You’re just jealous that someone put so much thought and consideration into making this special event so memorable for someone else and all you got was a traditional proposal (if you have ever even gotten one.) Personally, I would be wowed if a guy went through so much preparation to propose that way and the fact that it was public shows that he is truly proud and joyous to call her his girl.
Nope, honey….no jealous one bit. I have been proposed to and I accepted. It was between us and NO ONE else. Neither one of us looked like jackasses either. Still married after 13 years. So you know what they say about assumptiuons don’t ya?…..
Creative people usually want creative people and the other way around. Women’s fashion magazines aren’t made for men and public displays of this kind is not meant for the non-creative If you’re fine with a traditional proposal then peace be with that, but diss the creative for a fantastic proposal (and a work of art) and you look like a douche-bag
I find it incredibly funny that you jump the gun to try to “Humiliate” people, but yet you can’t remember how long you’ve been married. So tell us, Patty; Have you been married 13 or 16 years? Or is this all a lie? Hush up, it’s an adorable way to propose, and at that, it’s creative. You’re just upset that your “proposal” wasn’t so bold, that your “husband/ fiance” was too embarrassed to shout about your “love” from the rooftops.
Excuse me, how can you be “not quite thirty” which means you’re in you’re twenties (most likely), yet be married thirteen years. If you’re twenty-nine, which is the youngest you can be to be “not quite thirty” then you were married at sixteen. Yes that is legal, but that, in my opinion, is unacceptable. Way too young for someone to be married. Now perhaps you’re older than thirty, in which case you made a grammatical error, because not quite means “almost”, as far as I know. If you did marry at sixteen, don’t harass people about how engagements should go. Because honey, you aren’t the prime example for “proper” engagements.
Funny how you bash on grammatical errors, when you apparently don’t know the difference between “you’re” and “your”. English is not even my first language and I’m correcting you…By the way, I’m on Patty’s side on all of this, I think just that same way, there’s nothing wrong with private, personal proposals. It’s not for boring, old, or lame people. Let’s see if this couple endures a life-long marriage, and then we can discuss about “true love” having anything to do with being elaborate.
No she/he used it right. she/he said “If you’re” as in “If you are” but I thought that was sweet! If someone did that for me, I’d be embaressed (only the slightest bit0, but very happy, but lets all agree if it suits them it suits them.
Guys, get over it. I mean, people are typing fast…on an internet site. It’s hardly the best time to judge someone’s use of syntax, grammar or punctuation.
BusyBee, she was most likely knocked up at 16 and her religious beliefs and parents forced her into the marriage so she wouldn’t have a bastard child out of wedlock. Because there’s nothing worse, amirite?
And that’s probably why she had a private proposal.
Personally I believe that if a couple wants to do a big public production of their engagement, let them. If they want to propose in front of their families, let them. If they want to do it privately and quietly, LET THEM. It’s no one here’s place to say whether or not it was right or wrong.
You’re not quite thirty and you’ve been married over thirteen years? Hell, I know that people can both meet and marry the love of their life young, but given how up your own ass you appear I’d have waited a while, I don’t know, maybe til after I was past the point of being able to procreate.
Patty, I thought it was kind of lame too, but if that’s what the couple likes then good for them.
I guess I’m really out of the ordinary because I really didn’t have an “engagement.” (I wasn’t taken by surprise when the decision was made, nor did I get the jewelry.) My husband and I discussed getting married, and then a few years later we tied the knot.
y the hell does he have to be a fruit that was most sweetest thing ever and just shows how much he cares! Guys rnt allowed to dance? like wtf get over your self!!!! And how the hell can you say that guy is gay wen u dont even know him adn obviously not if he went through all that trouble to make a grand gesture, FYI most girls like something grand something they can talk about for years to come who want to say h ya he took me to a resteraunt adn asked me? Id rather say so he took me to the park adn broke out in a song and dance and popped the question it was so sweet!!!
So basically what you’re saying is that everyone must propose in the same way for it to be acceptable. Dinner, music, question. How cliche can you get? But guess what? It’s fine if you’re the type of girl that wants that sort of thing. But it’s stupid to assume that every girl wants to have that same proposal moment.
Your comments are so hateful – and ignorant. Just because the guy did something unusually romantic, makes him gay? Man…I hope that if your have kids, they’re not homeschooled and that they don’t grow up as small-minded as you.
Also, for someone who is accusing everyone of making assumptions about you – aren’t you doing the same to the guy in the video? So on top of being mean, ignorant, spiteful, bitter, and narrow-minded, you’re also a hypocrite. Cheers to being a miserable old woman who hates people for having a better life than they did.
Lindy, don’t automatically spin 13 Roses’ words negatively.
He/she is saying that if Patty’s kids were to be homeschooled then they would only be exposed to Patty’s ignorant views which would make them small minded because she is small minded.
Calm down, you clearly have some kind of problem with repressed anger, amongst other things. Ok, so you don’t like it, that doesn’t mean no one else would, the girl seemed to enjoy it and its unique to that couple, its not as if its was meant to be designed for you. There’s no point everything being the same for everyone. Personally, I’d find dinner and soft music unbearably corny, but that’s just me, that’s why you end up with a specific person who get what you’re about, not just anyone.
The song could have been an in joke or her favorite and I personally find the whole thing sweet, but again, that’s just an opinion.
And who the fuck are you to decide whether or not someone is gay? Based on four minutes of video footage? He’s gay because he made an elaborate proposal to a WOMAN? Hmmm, that’s right, you tell her, you clearly already know the guy far better than his future wife ever could.
yo~ y’all who’s bashing don’t gotta be so bitter. Don’t let your hatred for media ruin the happiness of the moment.
You don’t like it his dancing-fine; you don’t like the tune-cool; you hate his publicity thing-whatever. honestly, I didn’t really appreciate the music myself either but yo- he gave it his heart(no pun intended) and his best shot and the results were positive for those who mattered in the moment.
icy, I couldn’t agree more! You have a beautiful attitude.
This was sweet and fun and brought a tear to my eye. I hope they have many, many years of love and happiness.
Y’all need to stop hating and appreciate the fun in life.
Awwww, it’s okay Patty. Not everybody can top your super generic proposal that included the most popular ring sold from Jared’s and a special night out at Olive Garden…..hope your man went the extra mile and got the waiters to serenade you.
How do you know how I was proposed to? It was a private moment between us. You know, intimate? Something you obviously have no clue about. My man is the best…and after 13 years. How about you, sweetie!?
I love how often Patty repeats “13 years.” Guess what, honey? my grandpa sang for my grandma to propose to her, and they have been married sixty years. That’s only… forty-seven more years than you have. (P.S. according to most editors, numbers that are less than one hundred should be spelled out. It’s proper English)
Don’t act like you are amazing just because you’ve been married proposed to. It’s a feat that the majority of women accomplish in their lifetimes.
Actually, depending on what style you’re using, numbers that are made up of two words or more should be written like: 47. Other than that, numbers at the beginning of sentences should be written out I believe.
This was cute, but I would NOT appreciate being proposed to in such a public way(baseball fields, sports stadiums, anything like that… no please). Even if I plan to say yes; I don’t want a bunch of strangers’ eyes on me on that moment. It’s too intimate and special a moment to have a bunch of random people I don’t know cheering and clapping for.
Yeah, but with any luck the guy proposing would know his girl well enough to know whether she’d like it or not, right?
I don’t get all the hate here- if he put this much thought into it, maybe he’s considered that, too. Patty prefers private, good for her. These two seemed to have a good time.
I tend to agree with you, Mara. I would have been embarrassed- mortified. How could she have said, “I’m not sure about marrying and I’d like some time to think this over.”? He really gave her no option. We are all different. Perhaps Claudine is involved in theatrics, or loves this sort of attention. He clearly put much effort into this public proposal. Many people seem to like this: one television, ball parks, bill boards. It is not my thing, in parlance, but, if a man knew me and wanted to marry me, he’d surely know that I would NOT appreciate such a display. To each his/her own.
He must love her and if she loves him, the type of proposal means nothing. I just hope, if she said yes, it was because she wants to marry him, not because she feels some sense of obligation because of the public display. I hope no man even thinks of including me in any sort of spectacle like this.
Hahaha! That was actually fun! Not the best performance I’ve seen but still it was touching. A public proposal’s not suited for everyone, but in this case it was very sweet :3
Funny how that melts away though, when it comes to the person you love- I want to stab people who say ‘could of’ instead of ‘could have’ and ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’- but I am hopelessly besotted with my husband, who is so dyslexic he spells my name wrong every second time he writes me a love letter.
It’s not the proposal that worries me; it’s the idea that he might try to gloss over every important milestone and crisis in their lives using choreography.
“I was in labor for EIGHTEEN HOURS and you couldn’t be there for ONE of them?!”
“Hang on – I’ve got to cue up the music.”
“…”
“Oh, and set up the pyrotechnics.”
“…We’ll be at my mother’s.”
Okay, that was really sweet, but I would be embarrassed out of my MIND if that happened! My parents had a cute, short, unpublicized proposal, and I love hearing the story. Sometimes, simple and spontaneous is best. :]
That was possibly THE MOST EPIC proposal I have EVER seen. I would have been MORTIFIED and would have MURDERED my fiancee if he had done that to me, but I still think it’s very sweet when people go to such lenghts to tell that special person that they love them so much and would do anything (including public humiliation) to be with them. <3
That was an amazing amount of effort for his proposal. Not only did he have to set it up, he had to convince a large group of other people that it was worth helping him pull off. Nice.
Since when did “shake, shake, shake, shake, sha shake shake” become romantic anyway?
Beyond lame, and I know without a doubt that these people are the most irritating arty types that you can only stand to be around for 0.000001 of a second before they become utterly insufferable.
The kind of people who will have a twitter page for a fetus.
Absolutely adorable… unfortunately, he may just have set an impossibly high standard for romance that he will be expected to live up to for the rest of their lives together.
wats wrong wif that? i want that in life for the rest of my life if i could have it. (the impossibly high standard for romance) that wat everybody should set for themselves, being happy n in love n doing stuff for each other romantically
Awwwwww, I see I ruffled some feathers…..LMAO! What a bunch of lame ass girls. I’m sure most of you aren’t married and never will be. Especially if this is what you’re expecting!!! Good God, grow up and see that’s the marriage that matters not the wedding, the dresses, or this crappy lame ass proporsal. Duh. Good God, generations Y & Z scare me. Bunch of lame ass, selfish people.
No one is saying that every girl should expect a super creative huge public proposal over a quiet private one, or that it’ll mean you’ll have a better marriage. No one ever said that a traditional proposal is wrong. You “ruffled some feathers” because you blatantly attacked this proposal, throwing insults and making a fit. You are entitled to your own opinion of course, but don’t be surprised if you get some backlash from those who enjoyed the video if you spout off about how it was “lame ass”.
Every girl has their own preference about how they’d like their guy to pop the question, and obviously how the guy proposes has nothing to do with how happy the marriage ends up. Your “13 years of marriage” doesn’t prove any point here.
I have been married 12 years..yes that’s one less than Patty(how can I compete?) My man proposed on a mountain overlooking the city at night..very intimate and I loved it. I just think when you call something like this guy’s awesome proposal lame because it’s public, then there is something wrong. Social anxiety disorder?
Totally agree with Nyan. Your ranting simply does not impress anyone Patty.. To each his own. And yes i bet more ppl here than just you are married and what not.. I am, and i was proposed very sweetly (in private) but this video still made me smile.
I think the most important thing with proposals is that you know your partner enough to know that they will say yes, no matter how you pop the question.
Sorry, Patty “I’m not quite 30″, but the generation cohort you belong to IS Generation Y. We all are a scary bunch, you and me included, just like every other generation of humans. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Also, being a certain age doesn’t necessarily mean someone will or won’t be “selfish” or a “lame-ass”. It’s also nice that you had a proposal that was right for both of you, and that you have a great marriage. But just because something is good for one couple doesn’t mean that will carry over to another.
Sounds to me like you took the first man who showed more than a casual interest in you, Patty, simply because you knew you had to take what you could get. And now you’re bitter, BUT, you are married, so you at least have something to lord over other girls about. Even if your man is sub-standard and you are completely miserable in the marriage.
Patty with a crappy ass attitude like that I VERY highly doubt you are married or have ever been proposed to. Selfish is you trying to tell everybody that traditional proposals are the only way to go, lame ass is you being a drama queen over wedinator.. get a life dude.
that cracked me up, too.
and I think that’s the way it was meant to be: funny, sweet, goofy.
maybe he’s teasing her because she wants a big ceremony and everything: “I’m even giving you a unicycle!” Oh, I love that! I’m going to believe that.
I loved this!! It’s nice to see different people being able to express themselves in their proposals. It reminds me of the Man of Honor musical theater toast! He clearly put a lot of time and effort into this and it was really sweet.
i lovveed this it was the cutest thing!! i would have been embarassed but excited all at the same time.. i agree very much with nyan and wtea that was hilarius it was about time someone told her to go ahead with all that mess she was talking
[...] if that isn’t the sweetest thing – well, other than this – that I’ve heard all week. I hope they bought matching diamond-encrusted headsets to [...]
I know Woody casually, and he and Claudine (yes, their names are incredibly unfortunate) are an adorable couple. This was 100% real. I missed the actual proposal performance, but their rehearsal (sans Claudine) was pretty darn adorable the night before.
That was sweet. I agree that the song wouldn’t be my top choice…but I give the guy credit for guts! It takes a lot to put yourself on the line like that.
I agree with whoever said in the comments that you should know the answer before you ask. My husband and I talked about getting married before he asked…but I was still shocked when he proposed. I was expecting him to wait a little longer (we wanted to wait until after we graduated to get married…I had expected the same for an engagement…but he popped the question in our junior year of college) He did it in the most romantic way possible…by making sure it was something I would remember and think of as special. For some people, that would mean something like this video…for others it might be a quite dinner alone. Whatever the method…just remember that it needs to be the right one for the couple. Don’t embarrass each other just to get it on youtube but remember that marriage is special and the proposal should be too. Do what feels right for you as a couple and make each other happy. I wish the couple a lifetime of love and happiness.
I would NEVER want to be put in that position (I hate being the center of attention) but I bet for that couple it was absolutely perfect. I wish nothing but joy for them I’m sure their ceremony will be equally as creative.
As for the negativity of certain commentors…
If you prefer intimate dealings so vehemently and have a problem with “public” displays of affection/marriage related moments… why the HELL are you looking at this website?!
It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there to ask that question, let alone in front of a huge group of people recording the event.
Can’t people just be happy for the guy? Quit complaining about how you have such a problem with PDA. You clicked on the link “One Elaborate Proposal”
Patty, I’m sorry that Gen. Y & Z scare you. Lame ass, selfish people can still have some redeeming qualities. Unlike some people from whatever generation you’re from just being cynical and hating on differing views. That’s just ignorant and ugly. Especially assuming most of these girls aren’t married nor will they be. What were you saying earlier about assumptions?
1. wow….just….wow….
2. imagine the money it would take to do this…
3. this is tacky-awesomeness
4. my dad just tossed the ring in the box at my mom (he might have been aiming for the window, they were driving) lol. i seriously doubt he would have done this. he didnt need to either, they’ve been married for over 20 years.
that was cool. i think that he put very much effort into this proposal (the idea, planning it, dancing, maybe some extra costs, …) and it was kinda brave, too.
Though I personally would never want to be proposed to in public, that was absolutely the sweetest thing ever. I could tell she loved it, too. When a guy goes out of his way THAT much to show how much he loves you, you know you have someone amazing. I cried watching that. I don’t even know why, it just made my heart go all mushy XD
Honestly people? Yeah a traditional proposal is just as good, but this man is obviously very creative and the girl obviously likes that about him. He’s not angry and bitter about life like a lot of you people, he’s living life in the moment and he wanted to make this day special. I’m sorry if you can’t appreciate that.. I’m probably going to do a traditional proposal because even though I’m very creative I can’t plan things for shit. I’m very spontaneous so it will probably happen at the most random time.
Very sweet. Each couple that decides to get married has their version of a proposal: some private; some public; some “kitschy;” some very formal. Good for this guy for making it a memorable moment.
This public of a spectacle is completely not for me… but they both seemed to enjoy it, so whatever floats their boats.
My only issue with public proposals is the pressure it puts on the girl. There’s no way she can say no after all that. The best she can do is say yes and then turn around and say no in private later.
145 comments and I was the only person that thought Napoleon Dynamite II: The Proposal?! It wouldn’t work for me but I thought it was very romantic, entirely original and the bride to be obviously liked it – I wish them many happy years together, they’ve both clearly got a sense of humour which takes one far in life. GSOH – something that some people on here seem to be lacking
Lame, just lame. This is what passes as creativity today, a crappy dance to someone elses song? These big showy public proposals are just merely an attempt by an insecure guy to throw the woman off guard and shame the her into saying yes. It takes far more guts to ask her one on one in a private setting, where she’s more comfortable to express her true feelings. With that kind of personal assurance I doubt their mariage will last longer than two years, assuming they even manage to get married at all.
I see your point, but girls adore creative guys, even if they seem to be goofy. If he keeps surprising her every now and then, which I’m pretty sure he will, they will be very happy.
I respect your willingness to vocalize your opinion. But, there’s no reason to assume insecurity of a guy who did something on a grand scale, nor is there a need to doom a relationship in which you’ve had no involvement.
The proposal, just like the wedding day, are all just moments in time. moments that are blown out of proportion. It’s the marriage that counts, not the theatrics.
Clever, creative, yes. But it’s easy to have courage when you have an army of back up dancers. I still think a private proposal takes more courage, and it more respectful to the bride.
i love how he went back at the end and got her purse for her that she forgot.
yeah.. that says selfcentered and overconfident to me..
judging by her reactions a lot of this was probably stuff she was familiar with. a song she knew, friends of his that they hung out with together, friends filming her, they’r young, and this ended up being a big fun party that i’m pretty sure they really loved and won’t ever forget.
I had to go through hell on my hands and knees over broken glass to find myself a decent man. The SECOND I found him I proposed by sending him an SMS. Corny I know, but I felt that I simply had to tell him right then exactly how I felt and find out if he would have me broken life and all.
Each person gets to have their life and live it whichever way they choose. This couple seemed to have fun and at the end of the day couples who play together, stay together. Nobody gets to tell me how I should or should not get engaged or married or anything else, so I will not disrespect this couple by disparaging their fun time.
I say more power to them both. I hope that they have many more memorable and happy moments together in a long and happy union.
come on guys. it was creative wedding. there’s nothing wrong with being creative and there’s nothing wrong with having a nice simple proposal. Maybe that song was one of HER favorite songs or maybe he just has an odd sense of music. it doesn’t mean he’s a “fruit” I’m happy for them. if someone proposes to you you should be happy that they love you. You shouldn’t be all picky about how they propose to you.
[...] main thing I’m wondering is how this romantic proposal played out. Did Ben make a to-go order and ask Steph to pick it up? Or was he just assuming that [...]
I recently got hitched, and I proposed with a video, which I posted at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_NFavhYjxk — I took her to a karaoke club (where I had set things up in advance) and we sang in a private room for a little while. Then, while she went out to grab us a couple of drinks, I cued this video up and hit play when she came back. And the rest is history!
I’ve decided I am really, really old. At first I thought that was sooooo sweet and, I admit, my eyes were a little moist and I had a silly smile on my face but then, you know what? my last thought was…who gets to clean up all that mess????? …. sigh…. I’m past my use by date, I think. :(
Spoiler Alert:
After all that she rejects him.
Spoiler Alert:
You’re not, nor will you ever be, amusing. Go die in a fire.
Spoiler Alert:
Steve woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
Spoiler Alert:
It turns out that Steve is just a Pyromaniac.
me 2 =)
Oh… I see whats going on here…. Your A Liar!!!
Spoiler Alert:
this place is full of spoiler alerts
Spoiler Alert:
The preceding statements are hilarious.
spoiler alert: it’s you’re.
of course, it’s such a crappy song
She said yes dummy
I cried. First with laughter, then it was so sweeeeet.
He dances like a fruit, but she probably already knows that…
I cried too. Ah, it was adorable though!!!
I cried. Probably hormones, but I can’t help it. It’s sweet.
I also cried. I don’t think I can marry a man who doesn’t top that level of dedication, surprise and, most importantly, Glee – like campiness.
How did you guys cry? It was worse than the proposals during a sports game. |: Not that great of an idea.
Someone’s bitter.
i couldn’t cry, i was laughing to much at the dance
i agree.
No, no. As a fruit myself I can state with certainty that he does not dance like us. Thank you for your time though.
LOL
Nearly all young men dance like fruits now, it’s their lack of practice, combined with youthful cartilege in the hips. Doesn’t mean anything except they should dance more.
He wins at proposing. How the hell am I going to top that?
Buy some rifles and pistols, some blanks, military garb and black face masks (the kind terrorists use) for your friends, and get a bad-ass action hero look for yourself. Then, call your lover, tell her to remain calm in a hushed voice while several of your buddies surround the house. Have them yell at her to come out. This is when you show up and just start firing (remember, these are BLANKS). After your buddies are all “dead” get down on your knees, open up the jewelry box and say, “I’d go through worse than this if it meant you were safe. Will you marry me?”
woah you thought this thru! i like it! it would be awkward however if she was a pacifist…
Oh my god, that is just too awesome. I would love any man who could think that up. LOL
Here’s you top it. You know her heart, and you know who you are. It’s not about “topping” a proposal. It’s about winning her heart! If you are considering marrying her (whoever your girl is) you might have already won it! Just ask her. No hoopla, no drama, just ask her. It will be just as special, I promise
your only limits are your imagination….
So sweet. That’s amazing.
I agree.
even though the dance could have used some fine tuning. it was the thought that counts.
I expect nothing less from a proposal. In fact, the total lack of celebrity cameos would tempt me to turn him down.
….At the very least William Shatner……
Awww that was awesome n.n
This guy is a keeper
Who else bets in a few months their wedding is going to show up on this site?
I hate public proposals. I always keep hoping the girl will say no.
They probably do later, just they don’t want to seem like jackasses in front of everyone.
There are great videos of guys getting publically rejected on You Tube. One of my favorites is at a basketball game where the (overweight, less than attractive but clearly still WAY too picky) girl runs away. Poor guy.
I saw that one! I loved it!
That was at a Sac Kings game. I almost went that night but I think I’m glad I didn’t. Public embarrassment is only awesome when I’m not there in person.
Yes, because I’m sure she rejected him on appearances alone, not because of anything to do with his personality…
In case you didn’t notice, SHE was the overweight, less than attractive but WAY too picky one.
just because she’s ugly doesnt mean she has to marry someone she doesn’t love?
that’s exactly what I was thinking too!
Public proposals are so tacky
also…he seems like a fruit…metro station? come on, if I were her, the moment I would hear that song come on, I would run for the hills
I wish the both of them a life of happiness, and hopefully he won’t turn out a fruit in the end…
For the most part I’m right there with you, the public specticals tick me off. I started watching this expecting to be discusted, but as soon as it started I was smiling…
Before it was done I was laughing and clapping for them! It was playful and sweet, like something you’d see in a movie, but some how wasn’t cheesy.
I’m about as bitter and angry about love and romance as they come, but this little show almost gave me hope… it was THAT GOOD!
So, I guess there’s no way humanly possible that it might’ve been HER favorite song, and he danced to it for her?
Musical tastes are as accurate for determining someone’s orientation as whether their parents were straight.
awwwwwww is all i can say. that was sooo sweet!!!!!
“Fruit”? Seriously? Using antiquated anti-gay slurs isn’t clever and only reflects badly on the person who says them.
Most epic proposal ever…. EVER YOU HEAR ME!?!?!
they probably live in New York, Chicago, or LA. This kind of thing can only happen in one of those cities.
this was in madison square park, ny
I <3 NY
I guess I’m getting old…..that was the stupidest and most lame thing I’ve ever seen. Isn’t anything private anymore? What’s wrong with a nice dinner, soft music and the question?
Not only that…the guy was gay (hope she figures that out soon), the song and group are lame ass and the idea was just plain stupid.
It’s called being creative..any schmo can make a dinner reservation.
see this is the problem! why do i have to be creative?i love her and she loves me end of story. and i make a nice quiet dinner, i’m schmo! then i don’t know what the hell proposal dinner means. u know what, i didn’t make dinner. i just asked her the question while we were cruising around in the car. she said yes. and i’ve been married for 9 years and have two lovely daughters. creative my ass!
I agree with somedude. My husband of 16 years asked me while sitting in the car in the parking lot of a grocery store. Romantic, huh? So what, we were and still are madly in love. It’s not how he asked that mattered.
Well of course your girl is going to say yes no matter how you propose if she loves you or at least doesn’t think you’re a complete loser, but I’m sure she would have appreciated a little more thought going into it instead of after leaving the Taco Bell drive thru you lean over and say “Hey, wanna get hitched or somethin? Awesome! Now pass me the hot sauce.” Really makes a gal feel special.
I agree. To each his own. I love my husband more than anything in the world. He is sweet and caring, but he isn’t overly creative or traditionally romantic, though (I blame it on the math degree). He proposed to me at the laundry mat, without a ring, because he is awkward and has no sense of timing. That is one of the things I love about him. If he pulled a stunt like this (or even a fancy restaurant) I would know that some one else planned it. However, this young man seems to be very creative and outgoing. If he proposed at dinner with the ring in the champagne, I’m sure his girlfriend would wonder what was wrong.
Well, Taco Bell does have a hot sauce that says “Will you marry me?” on it… seems like they’re ok with the idea of becoming a drive-thru engagement chapel.
That being said, my dad proposed to my mom while sitting at a bar – “Hey, you think we should get married or something?” – no ring either, and they’ve been married 27 years.
who cares, We human beings marry a person we like not the one that attracts us with a ridiculous mating dance.
Maybe I want a ridiculous mating dance!
You’re just jealous that someone put so much thought and consideration into making this special event so memorable for someone else and all you got was a traditional proposal (if you have ever even gotten one.) Personally, I would be wowed if a guy went through so much preparation to propose that way and the fact that it was public shows that he is truly proud and joyous to call her his girl.
Nope, honey….no jealous one bit. I have been proposed to and I accepted. It was between us and NO ONE else. Neither one of us looked like jackasses either. Still married after 13 years. So you know what they say about assumptiuons don’t ya?…..
Creative people usually want creative people and the other way around. Women’s fashion magazines aren’t made for men and public displays of this kind is not meant for the non-creative
If you’re fine with a traditional proposal then peace be with that, but diss the creative for a fantastic proposal (and a work of art) and you look like a douche-bag
I find it incredibly funny that you jump the gun to try to “Humiliate” people, but yet you can’t remember how long you’ve been married. So tell us, Patty; Have you been married 13 or 16 years? Or is this all a lie? Hush up, it’s an adorable way to propose, and at that, it’s creative. You’re just upset that your “proposal” wasn’t so bold, that your “husband/ fiance” was too embarrassed to shout about your “love” from the rooftops.
Patricia, my dear, you are old. Hopefully you’ll come around some day or at least not be so mean.
Yo, Vaunda….bite me. It was my opinion. Tough crap if you don’t like it.
I’m not quite 30 and my names not Patricia. Duh, assumptions again!
Excuse me, how can you be “not quite thirty” which means you’re in you’re twenties (most likely), yet be married thirteen years. If you’re twenty-nine, which is the youngest you can be to be “not quite thirty” then you were married at sixteen. Yes that is legal, but that, in my opinion, is unacceptable. Way too young for someone to be married. Now perhaps you’re older than thirty, in which case you made a grammatical error, because not quite means “almost”, as far as I know. If you did marry at sixteen, don’t harass people about how engagements should go. Because honey, you aren’t the prime example for “proper” engagements.
^^WIN^^
^^2nded^^
Funny how you bash on grammatical errors, when you apparently don’t know the difference between “you’re” and “your”. English is not even my first language and I’m correcting you…By the way, I’m on Patty’s side on all of this, I think just that same way, there’s nothing wrong with private, personal proposals. It’s not for boring, old, or lame people. Let’s see if this couple endures a life-long marriage, and then we can discuss about “true love” having anything to do with being elaborate.
No she/he used it right. she/he said “If you’re” as in “If you are” but I thought that was sweet! If someone did that for me, I’d be embaressed (only the slightest bit0, but very happy, but lets all agree if it suits them it suits them.
Incorrect. Where she said “you’re in you’re twenties” it should have been “you’re in your twenties”.
Again a non-native English speaker coming to the rescue.
Guys, get over it. I mean, people are typing fast…on an internet site. It’s hardly the best time to judge someone’s use of syntax, grammar or punctuation.
BusyBee, she was most likely knocked up at 16 and her religious beliefs and parents forced her into the marriage so she wouldn’t have a bastard child out of wedlock. Because there’s nothing worse, amirite?
And that’s probably why she had a private proposal.
Personally I believe that if a couple wants to do a big public production of their engagement, let them. If they want to propose in front of their families, let them. If they want to do it privately and quietly, LET THEM. It’s no one here’s place to say whether or not it was right or wrong.
You’re not quite thirty and you’ve been married over thirteen years? Hell, I know that people can both meet and marry the love of their life young, but given how up your own ass you appear I’d have waited a while, I don’t know, maybe til after I was past the point of being able to procreate.
Patty, I thought it was kind of lame too, but if that’s what the couple likes then good for them.
I guess I’m really out of the ordinary because I really didn’t have an “engagement.” (I wasn’t taken by surprise when the decision was made, nor did I get the jewelry.) My husband and I discussed getting married, and then a few years later we tied the knot.
y the hell does he have to be a fruit that was most sweetest thing ever and just shows how much he cares! Guys rnt allowed to dance? like wtf get over your self!!!! And how the hell can you say that guy is gay wen u dont even know him adn obviously not if he went through all that trouble to make a grand gesture, FYI most girls like something grand something they can talk about for years to come who want to say h ya he took me to a resteraunt adn asked me? Id rather say so he took me to the park adn broke out in a song and dance and popped the question it was so sweet!!!
Seriously Patty?
So basically what you’re saying is that everyone must propose in the same way for it to be acceptable. Dinner, music, question. How cliche can you get? But guess what? It’s fine if you’re the type of girl that wants that sort of thing. But it’s stupid to assume that every girl wants to have that same proposal moment.
Your comments are so hateful – and ignorant. Just because the guy did something unusually romantic, makes him gay? Man…I hope that if your have kids, they’re not homeschooled and that they don’t grow up as small-minded as you.
Also, for someone who is accusing everyone of making assumptions about you – aren’t you doing the same to the guy in the video? So on top of being mean, ignorant, spiteful, bitter, and narrow-minded, you’re also a hypocrite. Cheers to being a miserable old woman who hates people for having a better life than they did.
homeschooled kids = smallminded? Wow.
Lindy, don’t automatically spin 13 Roses’ words negatively.
He/she is saying that if Patty’s kids were to be homeschooled then they would only be exposed to Patty’s ignorant views which would make them small minded because she is small minded.
What the hell…?
Calm down, you clearly have some kind of problem with repressed anger, amongst other things. Ok, so you don’t like it, that doesn’t mean no one else would, the girl seemed to enjoy it and its unique to that couple, its not as if its was meant to be designed for you. There’s no point everything being the same for everyone. Personally, I’d find dinner and soft music unbearably corny, but that’s just me, that’s why you end up with a specific person who get what you’re about, not just anyone.
The song could have been an in joke or her favorite and I personally find the whole thing sweet, but again, that’s just an opinion.
And who the fuck are you to decide whether or not someone is gay? Based on four minutes of video footage? He’s gay because he made an elaborate proposal to a WOMAN? Hmmm, that’s right, you tell her, you clearly already know the guy far better than his future wife ever could.
I thought it was really elaborate and romantic in a very sweet and goofy way! Way to go!
yo~ y’all who’s bashing don’t gotta be so bitter. Don’t let your hatred for media ruin the happiness of the moment.
You don’t like it his dancing-fine; you don’t like the tune-cool; you hate his publicity thing-whatever. honestly, I didn’t really appreciate the music myself either but yo- he gave it his heart(no pun intended) and his best shot and the results were positive for those who mattered in the moment.
icy, I couldn’t agree more! You have a beautiful attitude.
This was sweet and fun and brought a tear to my eye. I hope they have many, many years of love and happiness.
Y’all need to stop hating and appreciate the fun in life.
Whats the song at the end calleed??
anyone?
(:smilee – The song at the end is “Little Secrets” by Passion Pit.
Awwww, it’s okay Patty. Not everybody can top your super generic proposal that included the most popular ring sold from Jared’s and a special night out at Olive Garden…..hope your man went the extra mile and got the waiters to serenade you.
How do you know how I was proposed to? It was a private moment between us. You know, intimate? Something you obviously have no clue about. My man is the best…and after 13 years. How about you, sweetie!?
I love how often Patty repeats “13 years.” Guess what, honey? my grandpa sang for my grandma to propose to her, and they have been married sixty years. That’s only… forty-seven more years than you have. (P.S. according to most editors, numbers that are less than one hundred should be spelled out. It’s proper English)
Don’t act like you are amazing just because you’ve been married proposed to. It’s a feat that the majority of women accomplish in their lifetimes.
Actually, depending on what style you’re using, numbers that are made up of two words or more should be written like: 47. Other than that, numbers at the beginning of sentences should be written out I believe.
Maybe it’s her favorite song.
This was cute, but I would NOT appreciate being proposed to in such a public way(baseball fields, sports stadiums, anything like that… no please). Even if I plan to say yes; I don’t want a bunch of strangers’ eyes on me on that moment. It’s too intimate and special a moment to have a bunch of random people I don’t know cheering and clapping for.
Yeah, but with any luck the guy proposing would know his girl well enough to know whether she’d like it or not, right?
I don’t get all the hate here- if he put this much thought into it, maybe he’s considered that, too. Patty prefers private, good for her. These two seemed to have a good time.
sheesh, thank you so much grmblfjx.
I tend to agree with you, Mara. I would have been embarrassed- mortified. How could she have said, “I’m not sure about marrying and I’d like some time to think this over.”? He really gave her no option. We are all different. Perhaps Claudine is involved in theatrics, or loves this sort of attention. He clearly put much effort into this public proposal. Many people seem to like this: one television, ball parks, bill boards. It is not my thing, in parlance, but, if a man knew me and wanted to marry me, he’d surely know that I would NOT appreciate such a display. To each his/her own.
He must love her and if she loves him, the type of proposal means nothing. I just hope, if she said yes, it was because she wants to marry him, not because she feels some sense of obligation because of the public display. I hope no man even thinks of including me in any sort of spectacle like this.
“My friend proposed to his girlfriend with dozens of quality cameras around and all I got was this lousy mobile phone footage.”
Aside from that, it was tops!
Beautiful! Good job filming it, too.
Hahaha! That was actually fun! Not the best performance I’ve seen but still it was touching. A public proposal’s not suited for everyone, but in this case it was very sweet :3
Cute.
The card should have said “every day,” though, not “everyday.”
Yeah, I know! It’s tragic – I saw that and thought “deal-breaker”. I’m such a cynical old grammarian.
Funny how that melts away though, when it comes to the person you love- I want to stab people who say ‘could of’ instead of ‘could have’ and ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’- but I am hopelessly besotted with my husband, who is so dyslexic he spells my name wrong every second time he writes me a love letter.
*wrongly
No, you were right the first time. It’s “wrong”, not “wrongly”.
you know, different strokes for different folks. i, for one, am happy to see such fervor for love and life. Cheers!
It’s not the proposal that worries me; it’s the idea that he might try to gloss over every important milestone and crisis in their lives using choreography.
“I was in labor for EIGHTEEN HOURS and you couldn’t be there for ONE of them?!”
“Hang on – I’ve got to cue up the music.”
“…”
“Oh, and set up the pyrotechnics.”
“…We’ll be at my mother’s.”
Poor Claudine. That’s gonna be the highlight of the relationship. All down hill from here…
Okay, that was really sweet, but I would be embarrassed out of my MIND if that happened! My parents had a cute, short, unpublicized proposal, and I love hearing the story. Sometimes, simple and spontaneous is best. :]
i cried… on the inside.
That was possibly THE MOST EPIC proposal I have EVER seen. I would have been MORTIFIED and would have MURDERED my fiancee if he had done that to me, but I still think it’s very sweet when people go to such lenghts to tell that special person that they love them so much and would do anything (including public humiliation) to be with them. <3
That was an amazing amount of effort for his proposal. Not only did he have to set it up, he had to convince a large group of other people that it was worth helping him pull off. Nice.
Perfect….if he was proposing to a teenage Glee fan…
Or a twenty something Glee fan.
Ewww- public proposal.
Since when did “shake, shake, shake, shake, sha shake shake” become romantic anyway?
Beyond lame, and I know without a doubt that these people are the most irritating arty types that you can only stand to be around for 0.000001 of a second before they become utterly insufferable.
The kind of people who will have a twitter page for a fetus.
Thank you, for classifying all of us artistic people in one lump. Because clearly you know every artistic person in the world.
Oh don’t worry- it’s only the ones with no talent that are irritatiting.
If you want to align yourself with the kind of people I was ACTUALLY talking about then feel free :p
how abt stop being an ass? he had guts to do something romantic only for the girl he wanted to propose to, not like he did for u thursdaynext. LMFAO…
[...] One Elaborate Proposal [...]
To the people who say they hate public proposals: to each his own. I thought it was super sweet!
You’re a tool. I thought that was “super” lame.
You’re a loser “urmomwantsme”.
Absolutely adorable… unfortunately, he may just have set an impossibly high standard for romance that he will be expected to live up to for the rest of their lives together.
wats wrong wif that? i want that in life for the rest of my life if i could have it. (the impossibly high standard for romance) that wat everybody should set for themselves, being happy n in love n doing stuff for each other romantically
agree
Awwwwww, I see I ruffled some feathers…..LMAO! What a bunch of lame ass girls. I’m sure most of you aren’t married and never will be. Especially if this is what you’re expecting!!! Good God, grow up and see that’s the marriage that matters not the wedding, the dresses, or this crappy lame ass proporsal. Duh. Good God, generations Y & Z scare me. Bunch of lame ass, selfish people.
No one is saying that every girl should expect a super creative huge public proposal over a quiet private one, or that it’ll mean you’ll have a better marriage. No one ever said that a traditional proposal is wrong. You “ruffled some feathers” because you blatantly attacked this proposal, throwing insults and making a fit. You are entitled to your own opinion of course, but don’t be surprised if you get some backlash from those who enjoyed the video if you spout off about how it was “lame ass”.
Every girl has their own preference about how they’d like their guy to pop the question, and obviously how the guy proposes has nothing to do with how happy the marriage ends up. Your “13 years of marriage” doesn’t prove any point here.
Yep. 13 years ain’t no guarantee that he won’t leave you for someone more cheerful and pleasant.
^^^XD
I have been married 12 years..yes that’s one less than Patty(how can I compete?) My man proposed on a mountain overlooking the city at night..very intimate and I loved it. I just think when you call something like this guy’s awesome proposal lame because it’s public, then there is something wrong. Social anxiety disorder?
Totally agree with Nyan. Your ranting simply does not impress anyone Patty.. To each his own. And yes i bet more ppl here than just you are married and what not.. I am, and i was proposed very sweetly (in private) but this video still made me smile.
I think the most important thing with proposals is that you know your partner enough to know that they will say yes, no matter how you pop the question.
Go away, Patty. Nobody likes you here. YOU SUCK.
Sorry, Patty “I’m not quite 30″, but the generation cohort you belong to IS Generation Y. We all are a scary bunch, you and me included, just like every other generation of humans. Just wanted to throw that out there.
Also, being a certain age doesn’t necessarily mean someone will or won’t be “selfish” or a “lame-ass”. It’s also nice that you had a proposal that was right for both of you, and that you have a great marriage. But just because something is good for one couple doesn’t mean that will carry over to another.
um f you hoe
people have their own opinions go Nyan!!
Sounds to me like you took the first man who showed more than a casual interest in you, Patty, simply because you knew you had to take what you could get. And now you’re bitter, BUT, you are married, so you at least have something to lord over other girls about. Even if your man is sub-standard and you are completely miserable in the marriage.
SO CUTE!!!!
Dude’s a major copycat. I saw a video very much like this (but better done) a month or so ago.
Patty with a crappy ass attitude like that I VERY highly doubt you are married or have ever been proposed to. Selfish is you trying to tell everybody that traditional proposals are the only way to go, lame ass is you being a drama queen over wedinator.. get a life dude.
Sheesh people, can’t we just be happy for two young people in love? Is that too much to ask you cynics?
YES. I REFUSED TO BE HAPPILY ENTERTAINED BY THIS VIDEO!
RE-FUSE.
;]
Geez, so much negativity. None of us actually no them, we have no right to judge. It’s their lives, leave them be.
No dolphins and/or fireworks ?
Pff… Lame proposal !
(But really, even if the song is crappy, it’s awesome ^^)
bahahahahahaa…..i lost it at the unicycle.
HE USED A FUCKING UNICYCLE AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
that cracked me up, too.
and I think that’s the way it was meant to be: funny, sweet, goofy.
maybe he’s teasing her because she wants a big ceremony and everything: “I’m even giving you a unicycle!” Oh, I love that! I’m going to believe that.
I loved this!! It’s nice to see different people being able to express themselves in their proposals. It reminds me of the Man of Honor musical theater toast! He clearly put a lot of time and effort into this and it was really sweet.
So sweet.
awwwwwww….that’s so cute!!!
Oi, I’m such a sap. I totally cried.
Just to tell you (not to pop anyone’s bubble but) it was fake it was all fake.
Lolcat, how do you know? Just curious.
Yeah, it’s totally Photoshopped, it’s obvious.
gets to the end: “DAMMIT I FORGOT THE RING!!!!
OMG I cried! That was so cute.
i lovveed this it was the cutest thing!! i would have been embarassed but excited all at the same time.. i agree very much with nyan and wtea that was hilarius it was about time someone told her to go ahead with all that mess she was talking
Wow… I must give him props… hopefully my girlfriend doesn’t see this!
This is so fun/sweet/awesome I was crying!!
[...] if that isn’t the sweetest thing – well, other than this – that I’ve heard all week. I hope they bought matching diamond-encrusted headsets to [...]
Seems pretty fake, but still cute. I suspect it’s a chapter of ‘Improv Everywhere’ just doing a public stunt.
It isn’t.
I know Woody casually, and he and Claudine (yes, their names are incredibly unfortunate) are an adorable couple. This was 100% real. I missed the actual proposal performance, but their rehearsal (sans Claudine) was pretty darn adorable the night before.
That was sweet. I agree that the song wouldn’t be my top choice…but I give the guy credit for guts! It takes a lot to put yourself on the line like that.
I agree with whoever said in the comments that you should know the answer before you ask. My husband and I talked about getting married before he asked…but I was still shocked when he proposed. I was expecting him to wait a little longer (we wanted to wait until after we graduated to get married…I had expected the same for an engagement…but he popped the question in our junior year of college) He did it in the most romantic way possible…by making sure it was something I would remember and think of as special. For some people, that would mean something like this video…for others it might be a quite dinner alone. Whatever the method…just remember that it needs to be the right one for the couple. Don’t embarrass each other just to get it on youtube but remember that marriage is special and the proposal should be too. Do what feels right for you as a couple and make each other happy. I wish the couple a lifetime of love and happiness.
Despite how stupid metro station and public proposals are, he put a lot of time into that… what a sweetheart :3
dawwwww……
happy happy
AWESOME Vid! : D
even awesomer they play passion pit at the end
That was fabulous!
I would NEVER want to be put in that position (I hate being the center of attention) but I bet for that couple it was absolutely perfect. I wish nothing but joy for them
I’m sure their ceremony will be equally as creative.
As for the negativity of certain commentors…
If you prefer intimate dealings so vehemently and have a problem with “public” displays of affection/marriage related moments… why the HELL are you looking at this website?!
It takes a lot of guts to put yourself out there to ask that question, let alone in front of a huge group of people recording the event.
Can’t people just be happy for the guy? Quit complaining about how you have such a problem with PDA. You clicked on the link “One Elaborate Proposal”
Patty, I’m sorry that Gen. Y & Z scare you. Lame ass, selfish people can still have some redeeming qualities. Unlike some people from whatever generation you’re from just being cynical and hating on differing views. That’s just ignorant and ugly. Especially assuming most of these girls aren’t married nor will they be. What were you saying earlier about assumptions?
She had to say yes after that!
I love how so many people can turn something so sweet into something so awful…
I am, like Steve, a pyro at heart. Now, if you will excuse me, i must go burn my car.(jk)
If that was his proposal….. I wcan’t imagine the wedding!!
LOVED IT
I hate to admit I have loved that song for years… it is SO cheesy that it is good.
Way to go Dude…
1. wow….just….wow….
2. imagine the money it would take to do this…
3. this is tacky-awesomeness
4. my dad just tossed the ring in the box at my mom (he might have been aiming for the window, they were driving) lol. i seriously doubt he would have done this. he didnt need to either, they’ve been married for over 20 years.
All u haters are just jealous!
that was cool.
i think that he put very much effort into this proposal (the idea, planning it, dancing, maybe some extra costs, …) and it was kinda brave, too.
Though I personally would never want to be proposed to in public, that was absolutely the sweetest thing ever. I could tell she loved it, too. When a guy goes out of his way THAT much to show how much he loves you, you know you have someone amazing. I cried watching that. I don’t even know why, it just made my heart go all mushy XD
OMG! THAT WAS ADORABLE! it would have been hilarious if she said no after all that tho
Honestly people? Yeah a traditional proposal is just as good, but this man is obviously very creative and the girl obviously likes that about him. He’s not angry and bitter about life like a lot of you people, he’s living life in the moment and he wanted to make this day special. I’m sorry if you can’t appreciate that.. I’m probably going to do a traditional proposal because even though I’m very creative I can’t plan things for shit. I’m very spontaneous so it will probably happen at the most random time.
What is the name of the music, shake shake??
Awww! That is so ridiculously adorable!
but i would’ve sat there mortified like… “wait wait wait… what’s going on?”
Still, if it worked for them, GOOD JOB RANDOM DANCING PROPOSAL MAN.
Very sweet. Each couple that decides to get married has their version of a proposal: some private; some public; some “kitschy;” some very formal. Good for this guy for making it a memorable moment.
Boo to all you haters for judging.
wow this is soo cool
he must really love that girl.
This public of a spectacle is completely not for me… but they both seemed to enjoy it, so whatever floats their boats.
My only issue with public proposals is the pressure it puts on the girl. There’s no way she can say no after all that. The best she can do is say yes and then turn around and say no in private later.
that was adorable. i’d probably run away but that would just be because it made me laugh so hard i almost peed myself haha
145 comments and I was the only person that thought Napoleon Dynamite II: The Proposal?! It wouldn’t work for me but I thought it was very romantic, entirely original and the bride to be obviously liked it – I wish them many happy years together, they’ve both clearly got a sense of humour which takes one far in life. GSOH – something that some people on here seem to be lacking
XDDD OMFG! That was SO cute!!!
I would’ve said yes, too! *LOL*
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww I love the romance of it. If no one else likes it they are nuts
Lame, just lame. This is what passes as creativity today, a crappy dance to someone elses song? These big showy public proposals are just merely an attempt by an insecure guy to throw the woman off guard and shame the her into saying yes. It takes far more guts to ask her one on one in a private setting, where she’s more comfortable to express her true feelings. With that kind of personal assurance I doubt their mariage will last longer than two years, assuming they even manage to get married at all.
I see your point, but girls adore creative guys, even if they seem to be goofy. If he keeps surprising her every now and then, which I’m pretty sure he will, they will be very happy.
There’s a wise saying:
With one finger pointing, three point back…
I respect your willingness to vocalize your opinion. But, there’s no reason to assume insecurity of a guy who did something on a grand scale, nor is there a need to doom a relationship in which you’ve had no involvement.
[...] Unconventional Weddings Rule Incorrect source or offensive?Tags:badass, explosion, film industry, quick edits, [...]
this is so awesome, it made me cry.
Hmmm…
Cynical. I know I am.
But.
The proposal, just like the wedding day, are all just moments in time. moments that are blown out of proportion. It’s the marriage that counts, not the theatrics.
Clever, creative, yes. But it’s easy to have courage when you have an army of back up dancers. I still think a private proposal takes more courage, and it more respectful to the bride.
i love how he went back at the end and got her purse for her that she forgot.
yeah.. that says selfcentered and overconfident to me..
judging by her reactions a lot of this was probably stuff she was familiar with. a song she knew, friends of his that they hung out with together, friends filming her, they’r young, and this ended up being a big fun party that i’m pretty sure they really loved and won’t ever forget.
omg how cute was that?!!!
hope that they will have (had?) a kickass wedding aswell
and live happily ever after
What if she said no? He’d look like a huge ass….. again.
I had to go through hell on my hands and knees over broken glass to find myself a decent man. The SECOND I found him I proposed by sending him an SMS. Corny I know, but I felt that I simply had to tell him right then exactly how I felt and find out if he would have me broken life and all.
Each person gets to have their life and live it whichever way they choose. This couple seemed to have fun and at the end of the day couples who play together, stay together. Nobody gets to tell me how I should or should not get engaged or married or anything else, so I will not disrespect this couple by disparaging their fun time.
I say more power to them both. I hope that they have many more memorable and happy moments together in a long and happy union.
Er… How is he not gay?
I wish I could get married.
This fruit wants a totally silly public proposal!
Holy shit, that lift at 2:40 is amazing! One handed!
kewl =)
come on guys. it was creative wedding. there’s nothing wrong with being creative and there’s nothing wrong with having a nice simple proposal. Maybe that song was one of HER favorite songs or maybe he just has an odd sense of music. it doesn’t mean he’s a “fruit” I’m happy for them. if someone proposes to you you should be happy that they love you. You shouldn’t be all picky about how they propose to you.
The funny thing is, this probably cost him $50 because they’re all out of work dancers anyways.
this was lovely.
Did you see how he ran back and grabbed her purse? So sweet!
thats some love and dedication right there
If he wasn’t proposing i would be sure he’s gay.
awww (:
it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
That was the cutest thing I have ever seen. Congratulations to the happy couple!
sooo awesome. i cried a little, too.

Definitely a keeper: he remembered her purse!

I recently got hitched, and I proposed with a video, which I posted at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_NFavhYjxk — I took her to a karaoke club (where I had set things up in advance) and we sang in a private room for a little while. Then, while she went out to grab us a couple of drinks, I cued this video up and hit play when she came back. And the rest is history!

That was truly awesome. What a guy. Lucky girl. Very lucky girl.
OMG that was so amazing and sweet! I wish my boyfriend would propose to me like that. He could do it, he dances.
I’ve decided I am really, really old. At first I thought that was sooooo sweet and, I admit, my eyes were a little moist and I had a silly smile on my face but then, you know what? my last thought was…who gets to clean up all that mess????? …. sigh…. I’m past my use by date, I think.
:(
it’s navidad anyway.
Don’t feed the trolls…
