Wow. A lot of bitter, judgemental, and unromantic Farkers here today. Dated for 4 months, engaged for 6 and have been married for 4 years. He was 40 and waiting for someone like me, he says (no, I know for a FACT that he is not gay). I had already had a 10 year marriage and have 2 teens, so the kid thing is out of the way. Oh, and the proposal? He came over for dinner one night and handed me a bag from the store to prepare. As I was putting it away, there was a plain box at the bottom. I handed it back and told him it didn't seem like a fridge thing and turned my back. When I turned around, he was on one knee. First words out of my mouth were "But I'm wearing sweats!" No, I'm not fat. Kids were there and approved, so I said yes. There is no particular formula for something so personal. It might help that I like to make sammiches for him and leave the house when he hosts poker night.
/Disney proposal was over the top too much

Sugarloafer: Wow. A lot of bitter, judgemental, and unromantic Farkers here today.

TODAY?

Cuchulane: 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.

Darth Brooks,
Good point! That's one of the many reasons that I love it here.

//how romantic

justsomerandomguy: atomicmask
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.

My wife and I got married after 6 months. 28 years and still going strong.

/Obviously not a good idea for everyone
/It worked for us
/Neither an actor nor gay

Well then why did you need to point it out so defensively when no one accused you? Go ahead and deny it if it makes you feel better, just know you're not fooling anyone. Maybe you should think about finally living the way you want, and not carrying on this charade; it does nothing but hurt yourself and others in your life.

It's always the ones most adamant about denying it who, deep down, really are actors.

cookiefleck: Yeah...I would be pissed if my guy did this!

Bull. ALL women are attention whores. Being the center of attention with a large captive audience that you could brag to your friends about knowing it could never be topped. You and every other woman would eat that up.

Sugarloafer: Darth Brooks,

Hello. Lets have sex.

Well played, I LOL'd.

badhatharry: Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox: badhatharry: 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.

This is simply not true statistically. Outliers do not negate a trend.

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

I disagree. XKCD - Extrapolating (new window)

DJanomaly: tetheredswimming: But yes it was a viral ad. They were all perfectly miked for sound.


Nope. You could only hear the girl when she spoke into the megaphone. But go ahead and be a jaded farker....you have amazing company here.

=-D

I don't know about the viral ad, but he was miked. When he spoke into the megaphone his voice was the same (indicating mic between him and megaphone. Being in a crowd that size and not hearing more background noise, the multiple camera angles including some from the rooftops (where paying customers are not allowed access to), the choreography I could go on. This was staged. That being said. Nice job. If I was sitting around waiting for the parade it would've been a nice distraction. Not that i'm buying that it was real, but I give it a thumbs up.

Sugarloafer: Wow. A lot of bitter, judgemental, and unromantic Farkers here today.

You sound fat.

How do you think he won me?

XSLUMLORDX,
Look up where I live. They don't allow fat people here.

Mine proposed to me when I had the flu (not swine or bird flu, just plain old flu) and a fever of about 103 and I was wearing my pink beaver pajamas.

Now THAT is romance. I think I said yes...

Gay.

I should slap my own ass out of the hotness of that comment.

gambit60: Can'tLetYouDoThatStarFox: I don't recommend that people follow your recommendations. I was am young and stupid.

FTFY

To think, at 24, that you have any right to tell a couple of 26 years that you're right and they're wrong, is foolish. And to have the nerve to imply that their children made mistakes just shows the power of a nameless, faceless venue of conversation.

I'd love to see you walk up to Elephantman in person and tell him that his family is too big and his children had babies too young. I'd also love to see his five children beat the everloving crap out of you and teach you some manners and respect for other people.

So go ahead, drive down the highway with your eyes closed.

My, you have some violent fantasies. I'm sorry my counterpoints to your quaint little worldview enrage you to such an emotional extreme. I guess if at this point I responded that I really don't care what you or he thinks, and that I'm not the least bit afraid of you, him, or his children that would make me some sort of ITG, huh? Guess there's no real good way to respond to somebody telling you they hope you die for your simple point of view. I hope you get over your anger problems and insecurities, I'm doing just fine, thanks.

understimulated: I'd give these two farktards a year before she he starts banging the pool boy; but they are obviously Disney actors.

ftfy.

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

Citation needed.

me.and.the.devil: they are obviously Disney

Hate to tell ya, but it was already fixed above.

/The thread. You might want to read it.
//oh, and random marriage bashing, blah blah

How's THIS,
'Nuff said. You are off the hook for pics.

XSLUMLORDX,
Silly Farker. The "pics or it didn't happen" was not directed toward you. It was for How's This for a Fancy Nickname. But if it makes you feel important, I'll let you serve me fries. You must also be stuck at work today.

I don't know why everyone is being so down on this guy! It was a sweet and meaningful thing to do! It is the spot where they met a year ago and what better way to honor their relationship then with a song and dance number in Disney World. Why is he such a loser for showing a crowd of people he loves his girlfriend? They are getting engaged for fark sakes! It was funny and sweet and took a lot of hard work. The only difference between this guy's proposal and a "normal" proposal is that this one took more time and effort and creativity. His girlfriend is a lucky woman.

DarthBrooks: Sugarloafer: Wow. A lot of bitter, judgemental, and unromantic Farkers here today.

she's a liter, she only gets the free version of the bitter, judgmental and unromantic Farkers. She'd shiat herself if she joined TF.

I see you're new here, so I'll try to keep the snark down as much as possible.

No one who shows up at Disney to propose surprisingly is mic'ed and has multiple professional quality cameras centered on him.

In other-words, it. is. fake. Besides, you can tell by the lisp and the limp wrist that he's a "man's man"

Oh my gosh, does it really make the gesture any less romantic and magical if it was staged? This video wasn't make to be put under the microscope and analyzed for every frame.. it is just meant to make people smile and brighten a few people's days. Who cares if it is or isn't real, it was nice and very well put together. Get over yourselves, your no cyber-sleuth experts because you can say a video is fake. Believe me, no one cares.

queen4biatch,
I'll wager that I would LOVE it! However, for 5 bucks a month, I can save up for the next Fark party. Or, after a year, a couple of very nice bottles of Chianti.
/no fava beans, though

Fake, but very cool because it is happens spontaneously.

Disney might have taken this idea from the stage group who did the in-airport play.

No one who shows up at Disney to propose surprisingly is mic'ed and has multiple professional quality cameras centered on him.


I'm sure this man talked to management in advance and had this planned. Of course it would seem fake if you thought that guy just came there to propose and all the rest of the actors and singers just happened to join in.. And for the professional cameras.. it I spent that much time planning for a cool proposal, I would damn well want a professional to record my hard work!

In other-words, it. is. fake. Besides, you can tell by the lisp and the limp wrist that he's a "man's man"

Tell me why I should look down on this guy because he can sing and dance? He is trying to do something nice to remind people of the magic of love, and that makes him gay? Trying to put smiles on the faces of people in Disney World is gay.. What a sad country when it is gay to smile in Disney World.

desperate plea to get a poor TFette to sponsor a poor liter is desperate. Maybe one of the other rich TFers in this thread will sponsor you...however it will come with a "cost"...

/Tfers, amirite?
//normally I would be happy to sponsor you for a month, but the hubby is laid off, my turck now has two new leaks by the transmission...so yeah...sorry

That was gheyer than Clay Aiken.

The opening dance sequence for the first Austin Powers movie? Now, that's marriage proposing material.

Did it ever occur to anyone that maybe this man works at Disney World? That would explain why he referred to that spot as where they met a year ago. And it would also explain the big song and dance number. I've defended this video all I can, so now all the rest of you negative farkers can continue to tear it apart. I hope it makes you feel a little better to devalue a video that is meant to be nice and make you smile.

girl6: That was gheyer than Clay Aiken.

And I thought Disney extended health benefits for domestic and ghay partners...so why is he marrying her?

devilslefthand- Why would anyone care about your opinion any more then mine? On this forum you are just as faceless as I am. For god sakes, are you so miserable you can't let other people smile for 5 minutes before you start freaking about about how fake it is? All the reasons people have stated so far about this video being fake can be justified, so it can be just as real. I don't know why you hate this video so much, but you should probably take a vacation to reduce stress..

FarkinNortherner: Christian Bale: Disney is pimping this, it's totally mic'ed too good.

Check out her lower back as she walks into the crowd. You can repeatedly see the outline of her mic pack.

I might be cynical, but I'm nowhere near as cynical as Disney's advertising.

You insensitive jerk! That's her insulin pump. Her subdued reaction was obviously the result of low blood sugar. He clearly noticed this, and brought her this cloying sweetness routine to help her out. That's romantic as hell.

/also, it's fake

queen,
I wasn't hinting at all. Heck, I've been here sonce '05 and am quite happy being a liter. Plus, we're in the same boat! However, I am serious about saving up for the next Boulder Fark party! Any takers?

Haha. Nice. For one, I'm not faceless. You want to see my face, it's right in my profile. Miserable would also fail to describe me,I'm perfectly stress free, happy, and content. I don't hate the things I do for the sake of hate. There's a reason for everything. This is a corporate ad trying to get into the minds of simple people and convince them that Disney is where they want to be because it's "happy" and "spontaneous" and whatever else they want to shove down your throat.

Obviously, your mouth is wide open.

I dunno, but if you defaced a 1st ed. autographed book by one of my favorite authors and tried to propose to me, romance might not be dead, but you would be.

/You do realize that, possibly aside from the autograph page itself, the book was rendered worthless by doing that, right?

THIS.
That proposal would guarantee "No" as an answer.

my marriage proposal was the epitome of romance, if I may say so myself;

EggFool: Mine proposed to me when I had the flu (not swine or bird flu, just plain old flu) and a fever of about 103 and I was wearing my pink beaver pajamas.

Now THAT is romance. I think I said yes...

I had an ex who called her crotchless panties "pink beaver pajamas", but I'm guessing you probably meant something different.

Has anybody mentioned yet that the guy is gay?

I hope you get over your anger problems and insecurities, I'm doing just fine, thanks.

Just enjoy living in your statistical world. I never wished death on you. And I don't see how wishing that there were repercussions for your indefensible comments makes me either angry or insecure.

And what's a "quaint little worldview" about my judging you to be a fool for openly criticizing another person's choices and lifestyle?

For the record, I'm not old, I'm 25. I'm also not married, and I pretty much agree with you that in most cases it makes sense to wait a few years to be sure that the two of you mesh.

But for you to sit there and drone on and on about statistics and luck, and then to judge all of these people who did things differently, is rude and useless.
