I think it was brilliant. Feel bad for him. But we don't know her side either.

Once you know the back story, it all makes sense. Knowing that, it was pretty cute and it did take some effort on his part so she should have given him at least a little credit.

I feel badly for him too, especially since they had a connection to that McDonalds and she had joked about him proposing in a nugget box.

It seems very staged to me too. Sorry, not buying it.

Wow. I read the comments (here) before watching the video and went into it feeling bad for him. It seems like a cute proposal, but she was a bitch about it? What I saw instead in the video was a girl who didn't welcome the proposal and was sort of floundering for something to say.
So I still feel sorry for him, but also for her. What an awkward situation.
I can't imagine why he posted it on YouTube. He must be really, really angry at her. I wouldn't think they're still together.

I haven't watched it and probably won't. I guess everyone has their budget moment , and mine is here.
We went on a memorable holiday trip, visited family, major landmarks. You name it. I thought it would happen but didn't. Mpnths later, he practically tossed a ring at me. As unromantic as it can get. For years I was embarrassed by the lack of story. But that's my DH. He's a poor gift giver too. Somewhere around year 12 that began to change, at least he tries and has gotten much better. He's also taught his sons to do better!.
And here comes the judgey part. As we get closer to our 25th I realize a lot of those with the romantic stories got divorced long ago. We're going through a rough patch, but we keep hanging in there, even when the story isn't picture perfect in others eyes. Maybe being able to be kind about each other's intentions has helped us get further than judging the presentation.

It seems very staged to me too. Sorry, not buying it. That was my exact thought----perhaps I am getting cynical as I get older but the whole video seemed fake to me. I don't think it was a real proposal, I think it was just a video they made together hoping it would go viral. I don't believe any of it.

I think her response was honest. I think she really did not know what to say or do... clearly they were not ready.. I don't think she was a bitch. I think she wasn't expecting it and maybe he should have brought in some context.. like making a joke about their first date.. so she would have been in the right frame of mind. When my sister got engaged she called to tell me, I asked how he proposed and she said, and i quote, "Naked" we laughed and I said you are going to need to lie!

The acting on that is so bad. It's a staged video...probably a college acting class project.
I don't buy it

The whole thing is so awkward. I think the back-story is sweet and it seems like the proposal done that way would have made sense to her. But as someone pointed out, we never know all the ins-and-outs in others' situations.
I just can't get over why you would post that for the world to see? She may not come across well in the video, but it's a really passive-aggressive move on his part to post the video. This couple has a lot of work to do if they want to get past this and stay together.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's staged also. Why wouldn't she question the light that's on near the rearview mirror?
