I expect 2 Dachshund angels ( they are flying via flapping their ears @_@ ) hovering in the air with a golden speghetti via Lady and the Tramp style ( necklace )
with the wedding ring hanging through it.

Clint Eastwood as the preacher just to finish it off?

Well it would make the most economical sense if we both got married. Combined insurance accounts for one! And why not, we've lived together for a year already, so I know we can handle being together. So? Yes?


Sure why not, I need to make a doctors appointment anyways.















Yea thats pretty bland isnt it?

Mine was in the driveway of my in-laws house on a snow covered driveway,

My missus almost slipped over with excitement....could have been the snow though.

Like I said, awesomelly romantic stuff!

We're still happily married after 8 years so I think I made the right choice so far.

That's real backbone right there!

I don't suppose she was holding a big hammer over your miniature collection at the time was she?

No one could ever acuse my wife of lacking in that department.

And no, it was in a mall's food court actually, we were waiting for a movie to start. Just adds that little bit extra to the whole romance of the situation...

"You want General Joe's or Sbarro Pizza while we want?"
"Marry me or die"
"Sorry, what'cha say? that baby's pretty loud over there."

I don't know how you *don't* talk about it first. Or more properly, if the woman you're dating hasn't talked to you about your future together...it may be safe to say there is no long-term future there.

FYI, I proposed under the lights in the courtyard of Tavern on the Green in Central Park after dark.

Another thing I notice about surprise proposals is when the question is dropped the woman's face starts to melt and she has to keep it on with her hands.

No one was killed... this time.

I guess it didn't go "horribly" wrong after all.

"I have a gun pointed at you under the table, gak or get off the pot!"
"Oh look, a Jared's! I will be right back!"

As it is the Mistress says I should marry her at least once a week so I can afford to be as big and epic as I want. I already have a plan though



I just realized that's only a few months away. Saving time D:

No one was killed; of course it went horribly wrong!

Where are all the dismembered bodies and the twitching limbs of those who barely survived the fiery wrath of a basketball fan scorn'd?

Yeah. Most of the married people I know have said that both parties new the proposal was coming, and that the surprise was in the when and the where.

I even have a friend who deliberately faked out his then girlfriend by conspicuously taking her on extravagant dates, giving her things in jewelry boxes, and making a habit of bending his knee to tie his shoes. She was less amused than the rest of us were.

Funny, but I think the bitch was a bit harsh me.

I mean, I know its not the done thing, but a role swap is the only way for me to be objectionable about it..

If I was on screen and my missus got down on one knee, and proposed just like that, I would grin, say yes and give her a kiss, and then an hour later say "Listen, I really didnt want to upset or embarrass you or anything, but Im really not comfortable... blah blah blah"

The chick looks like a total cow if you ask me. If I was the bloke on one knee id have dealt with it better as well though, laughed it off and gave the finger as she was walking off or something.. He looked like he was going to cry.

When we were training in Norway a mate of mine got me to write his girlfriend a letter (I have neat handwriting) saying I was his commanding officer and he had died in an avalanche.

As in all other cases, a woman will be surprised even if she's not as long as she wants to be.

I saw a proposal on the stage at Gamesday in Baltimore back in '08. They were all up there for the costume contest awards. It was bizzarre. She said yes.
