First of all, wrong hand. And can either one of these people complete a sentence? The whole time, I'm yelling at them to just spit it out!

I feel bad for him. I thought the idea was cute. Something she would not suspect and definately a story to remember.

I feel bad for him but I understand her reaction as well. I wouldn't want to tell my kids that story. I remember a co-worker I had one time who was so embarrassed by her husband's proposal. She said they were driving down the road and he says "there's somethin' in the glove box for ya."

I'm not sure I'm buying it. It looks staged. Even so, that is one stupendously stupid man. "Everyone" including her parents that were "involved" should have advised him what a stupid idea it was. Such an insincere and ridiculous proposal. What happened to an old fashioned proposal? Just tell the woman you love her and can't live without her and ask her to be your wife without all the gimmicks attached.

I thought it was cute and she was a royal bitch. My dh asked me in a laundromat. Not the most romantic but it was sincere and he loved me. Who cares where? We still giggle about it over 20 years later.

meh, I don't care where people get proposed to, so this is a no biggie for me. Why is everything so heightened these days? Promposal? Fancy wedding proposals? Bridezillas? Ugh.

I thought it was cute, too. My husband asked me to marry him at the top of a small mountain, one night, after work, in summer when we were both sweaty from hiking. We have been married 18 years. I wonder what she dreamed her proposal would be like. I think a good sense of humor is great for a marriage. He definitely put in the effort to plan and execute a unique proposal. It is those qualities that help when you are on the second day of you second child's stomach flu.

. I remember a co-worker I had one time who was so embarrassed by her husband's proposal. She said they were driving down the road and he says "there's somethin' in the glove box for ya." Um. Not seeing the wrong in that. My husband pulled the car over on a stretch along Custer national park park and proposed to me. |

I felt kind of bad for him too. Seems like he was just trying to do something cute and different, and while it wouldn't be an ideal proposal for me, it would be a funny story to tell for sure, and would get a lot of laughs.

While it may not have been my first choice, at the time I was proposed to, I was so in love w/my now husband that I wouldn't have cared how he asked me. Like anniebygaslight said, she's a drama queen. At least he put some thought into it! |

Well, my ex dh proposed back in the 90s at the height of Beavis & Butthead. He proposed to me in his best imitation of them. Um, would you like marry me? heh heh. Heh heh. Not the most romantic but the ring was awesome!  |

I see both their points. Maybe he's always making a joke out of everything, like she said, and for once she'd like him to be serious--or maybe she's too high-maintenance, but I doubt it with her hair and glasses. She looks laid back enough. But I would absolutely find the whole thing charming and hilarious, if it was me. And now I want a chicken sandwhich!!! My husband would know to go to Checkers instead, though.  |

I wasmarried 32 years and never received a proposal!! Yeah me either. Well, I kind of did, but we didn't get married for five more years after that, and then it was just something we did after a bit of discussion and little planning. We just celebrated our 20th anniversary, though! |

Poor dude. It's not about who has the best engagement story. It's about the love you share and the life you want to build together. He might want to re-evaluate his proposal honestly. I think I might rescind if I were him.
I have a friend who proposed to his now wife at KFC. I laughed so hard when they told me the story - we all laughed together. He was young, and they were in love, so she said yes. Still married 10+ years later-imagine that!

Here is the text from the Youtube post: Published on Jun 2, 2015
I met my girlfriend 2 years ago in LA. I've never been good at planning in advance which is why we wound up ending our first date at this exact McDonalds. She joked for months about how 10 years down the road I would probably propose to her in a chicken nugget box so I thought she would love when I surprised her this way. She didn't love it like the way I thought she would. We agreed to wait longer until it's time to get engaged.**bold is mine  |

He obviously put a lot of thought and heart into his proposal whether it was what she envisioned or not. I think it was sweet and definitely memorable.
My LH proposed to me in his bedroom when we were 17 years old (Dec.5th.) He wanted to propose on Christmas morning, but couldn't wait. It was sweet.

DH proposed to me in his driveway, after we had been working all day cleaning out the shattered back window out of his car after a huge hail storm. He was sitting behind me in a chair, and I was sitting on the ground in front of him and he was massaging my back/playing with my hair. He paused and said "Look! I found a piece of glass in my pocket! and he pulled out the ring. Creative? Sorta. Over the top? No. Just the way he is? Yes, and I accepted the ring, and him, just the way he is. I never expected fireworks, or my name written in the clouds. I didn't get that, and I'm totally fine with that. He wanted to wait till we went to Vegas with his mom for his 21st bday, but he couldn't. He reaction was absolutely ridiculous, and I would not want to propose to her again. |

Why do I have feeling she will end up old and alone? When you love someone you accept them for all their quirks including if they are goofy. I would have accepted a proposal like this from dh had it happened that way especially because of their inside joke. Apparently dh tried to propose to me 3 times but kept having difficulty, eg not enough time (at the great wall on a vacation) stone fell out of ring (I picked out a stone and setting separately but he had a heck of a time getting it set because the stone was too deep for the setting so he had temporarily glued it in) and finally he proposed at midnight on new years Eve which I almost slept through. That time he asked and I said yes. I would have said yes any of those times because it's not how you ask, it's that you want to spend the rest of your life with this person.
Eta my coworker proposed to my wife while shaving in the morning he said "we should get married" and she said yes. They had been together like 15 years at that point so they knew each other and that was just a fine proposal. Not super romantic, but not everyone needs to hire a sky writer etc.

Ugh. One of my friends was traveling by plane with her BF when he decided to propose. They both loved Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and he had opened the package and stuffed the ring in from the bottom for her to find. But then he put the candy in his bag overhead, while she had some in her purse under the seat. He's trying to stand up and retrieve the bag and she's "Dude, what's wrong with you, I have some right here, for cripes sake they are all the SAME". Then she was mad and took a bite, ending up with this THING in her mouth. She thought it was a random piece of metal that might have the potential to cut her mouth and had to spit out the ring all gunky and saliva covered.
Sometimes this creative proposal stuff just goes all sideways.
