If I am ever stupid enough to propose in hollywood style I hope it's more along the lines of Predator or James Bond

lefdeee: Klivian: 2) Only dating for a year and he proposes? Run away biatch, run far far away!

Are you farking kidding me?

Dead serious, it will be at least 3 years before I propose to a girlfriend, at least 1 of those has to be while living together, even if we are perfect for each other. Like it or not, relationships do change over time and I would want to make sure it actually will last before proposing. Marriage is supposed to be a big deal, not something you do with each girlfriend.

Warren G. Harding: Another thing, this is probably the worst marriage proposal I've ever seen. There was no romance it was just an opportunity for him to dance around. If he had to sing then at least make the song about your relationship, not just a bunch of lame disney references. Probably a viral ad, but if it wasn't than I'm surprised she didn't say no.

Thank you - I thought the same thing....

Marisyana My husband proposed the same way. After seventeen days of dating.

Congrats.

I've occasionally wondered if my wife missed having the big romantic moment, but it was obviously not a deal breaker. We try to keep things simple, honest and straight forward.

Feel free to leave - Nobody's keeping your eyes glued to the screen.

If I really loved the guy, he could ask me while we're washing the dishes together and it would be romantic as hell. A big public proposal like this would be my worst nightmare--but that's me. Maybe some gals like shiat like this. Attention whore gals and their boyfriends.

That's all fine, but to tell everyone else how to do it because that's how you would is retarded. Everyone is different, especially when it comes to relationships.

Haha, you still think things won't change once you get married.

I have a theory that the more lavish the wedding, the more likely the marriage will end in divorce.

/you start with bullshiat, you end with bullshiat

I made it as far as "attention every!--" before deciding that this was a really bad idea.

I think you're safe. You sound like a real winner.

Many of the people who play Russian Roulette survive and even make a good amount of money from it. That doesn't mean it isn't a stupid thing to do. Hindsight justification doesn't excuse really bad prospective analysis.

"I proposed after 1 date and we've been happily married for a brazillion years" doesn't mean the proposal wasn't tarded based on the information available at the time.

Wow, he has known her a WHOLE YEAR?! Holy crap what was they waiting for the second comming? He should have married her after a month, but he was probably struggling with his sexuality the entire time.

ok seriously, a year? thats it? And he thinks its time to settle down? I know he is an actor and gay, but jesus if you marry someone after only knowing them a year expect a divorce in 2 years.

Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox: That doesn't mean it isn't a stupid thing to do. Hindsight justification doesn't excuse really bad prospective analysis.

Jesus, we're talking about marriage, not a stock purchase. It's stupid even if your marriage lasts a long time and is a fulfilling partnership? There are some really sour people out there if they think along those lines.

oooh I listen to sigur ros and proposed to my girlfriend at an art gallery i am so DEEP everyone look at me!

I don't like public marriage proposals either but at least there was some fun dancing involved. It reminded me of flash mobs, where hundreds of people suddenly start dancing together in a public place, or freeze in place ... those are always awesome.

I'll just never understand why people would put a ring into food.

I dunno. This guy loved it:

Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox: Fake and utterly gay ad for Disney Land.

Also, getting married after 1 year = tarded

Went on 3 dates, ask her to marry me on the third date...she said yes...26 years later, 5 kids, 2 Grandkids , Marriage is a wonderful thing if you find the right person.

TimeWaste: My buddy set up multiple cameras for his elaborate proposal. While it's fun to assume every single video on the internet is fake, I see no reason why this can't be real.

And I don't think he's gay... there are a few straight guys out there on broadway.

It is so refreshing to meet an open minded person that can still see the benefit in trusting their fellow man. You see, I am a director in the foreign affairs department of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). I appreciate your posting on the Internet and wish to use this opportunity to notify you of the existence of a certain amount we wish to transfer overseas for the purpose of investments and importation of goods from your country.
We sincerely need an honest person to work with and have agreed to share the money in the following percentages, 70% will be for us who will effect the transfer and 30% will be for you whose account is used to secure the funds. There is no risk involvement because applications will be made to the concerned Federal ministries and parastatal with official approvals given by the Federal government before the Central Bank of Nigeria will be officially empowered to wire the funds to your account by telegraphic transfer.

Watching those made me feel better after the Disney musical sappiness. Does that make me a bad person? If so, do I care that it makes me a bad person?

I know people that lived together for 10 years, then got married, then got divorced. 3 months, 3 years, 10 years; it doesn't matter. Everybody is different, everybody changes. Things will change after getting married no matter how long you have been together. Wait until you have kids.

It is less likely to change if you live with someone for 2 years before marriage. Its hard to hide who you are when you wake up to someone every day for two years and they see you at your worst and best.

That made me cringe.

Refer to my last post. Just because something happens to work out okay in the end by sheer luck doesn't mean that the analysis that went into it was solid. I could steal all my parents' retirement money and buy lottery tickets with it tomorrow. If I end up winning the $200 million jackpot with one of them, does that mean it was a solid decision?

Not that I would consider having 5 kids a good or responsible idea, or 2 grandkids by kids less than 26 years old particularly wonderful, but I guess it takes all kinds. I'm sure you wouldn't approve of some of my choices either.

I just proposed to my girlfriend last month (dated 2 years). I didn't have a ring, but I asked her anyway. She said yes. We tell people we're engaged and the first thing they ask is, "Where's the ring?"

Us: "We don't have one yet." (Note - we're going through a move right now so money is tight; once everything is straightened out we're going shoping for a ring together)

Them: "Then you're not engaged. Have some sense of tradition."

I don't think a ring equals engagement. A ring is a symbol, that's all. We'll get the ring, just not right now.

ok seriously, a year? thats it? And he thinks its time to settle down? I know he is an actor and gay, but jesus if you marry someone after only knowing them a year expect a divorce in 2 years.

I proposed after 9 months, and we just had our 11th anniversary last month. When it's right, it's right - why bother to wait?

/that "proposal" video takes lame to a whole new level

Don't have kids unless you're mature enough to be able to commit to someone.

I think you should try it. But use a blindfold. Wouldn't want to risk the urge to cheat.

Just remember to spend 6 months salary on it. And that's gross salary, not net.

She told me if I spend more than $500 on her ring then I'm an idiot. She's also not into diamonds (thank god); she'd rather have a pearl ring, which I'm sure can run me a pretty penny itself but at least I won't have to deal with all the diamond BS.

Yeah, would be seven kinds of awful for the girl if it was real.
If she said 'No, you are an attention-grabbing asshat and you ruined a romantic proposal by making it so public' she would get lynched by the now-enraptured Disneyland-going people. So no. Not cool.

I don't recommend living your life based on statistics. Especially not in matters of love.

My hubby proposed twice - once before we bought the ring and once when he had the ring and he wanted it to be "official".

First time was in the bar where we met. We were talking to a friend who was getting married in a couple of weeks and was having a serious case of cold feet. We started talking about how, if you have doubts now, you probably shouldn't get married and then in a roundabout way, he proposed.

Second time was after we bought the ring and he proposed over drinks at Windows on the World (restaurant that was on top of the World Trade Center.) This was in 2000 and was the last time I was there. :(

She's lying.

I got my real diamond ten years after the wedding, designed it myself. She says that now but wait until you have a real fight.

I don't recommend that people follow your recommendations. I'm 24 and even I have enough experience to know that making life changing decisions after a short period of time simply because you love somebody is a stupid idea.

I loved my first girlfriend years ago. I would have married her, and it would have been the worst decision of my life. I was young and stupid. Thank goodness she self-destructed and opened my eyes before I got a chance. I've also met enough young love disaster stories to at least approach it with some degree of caution. Making hasty decisions based solely on emotions is what animals do.

My first marriage proposal was all about romance because I thought she was my dream girl. Then we went to get a mortgage loan and I found out her credit was bad because she had defaulted on some old credit cards. We spent years living in the basement at her mom and dad's. I proposed to my second wife by exchanging FICA scores, and now we live in the suburbs with a dog and a yard.
