Too bad she didn't see it beforehand. She could've gone out and spelled "NO" right in the middle of it with Round-Up.

This is why I won't go out with fat girls. I'm so afraid that if we go by a patch of grass somewhere she'll start grazing.

Absolutely lame. Sometimes these stories are fun (rarely sappy), but this one is just dumb.

For those whining about videos - if you have your sound off you won't even notice and neither will your boss.

I use this high-tech new device called ear buds or "headphones" if you will. Not easy to find at the moment but I have a feeling they will catch on.

My audio is off and I'm unemployed, so ha!

I don't like some jackoff working at a local TV station deciding he should play his shiatty video for me though. I'll watch it if I think it's worth it.

Boring. I know two people who did things like this, only one was way better since he did it in a huge field and tricked the girl into taking a flight on a small plane where she could overlook it. Even still I had heard it done before.

Seems like a lot of trouble and expense to go through just for an impending divorce after you come home from work one day to her telling you she's fallen in love with Larry from payroll.

I've done something similar. Our kitchen overlooks the backyard from the second story (we have a walk-out basement in the back), and one day I had some extra fertilizer from doing the front and side yards, so I made a big heart with the initials of my wife and I inside it in the back yard.

My wife was simultaneously touched, and pissed.

I have a friend who's a farmer who did this with his hayfield, then took his wife up on a hill so that she could see it, and he popped the question then.

They still have the framed picture of the hayfield proposal hanging in their house. :-)

Tell her it could be worse. At the high school I used to work out, some idiot teenagers burned the initials of their wannabe gang into our football field with some sort of herbicide. That shiat stayed dead and bare for months. My classroom looked out at the stadium, so every time I had to look at it I got pissed off all over again. I farking HATE vandalism.

I did something similar once.

I brought my girlfriend over to the window, bent down on one knee, handed her a small yet luxurious satin box, and asked her to look out the window of her flat.

In the grass outside I had chemically burned my message. It was "U cheating biatch." As she looked, I walked out the door and left, never to look back or return.

Inside the box, by the way, was one perfectly formed dog's egg.

It's better than that. It's the combination of the pastoral use of grass combined with the urban text-speak replacement of "u" for "you." It's not just another special proposal, it's Walt Whitman interpreted by Snoop Dogg.

I blame rural electrification.

What the...that was the most boring proposal story to make the news ever. It isn't clever or unique. Two of my friends have been proposed to this way (eco hippies, ugh).

So far nobody has topped my husband's proposal (as far as our circle of friends goes). In fact, people only asked me about the proposal for maybe a week after it happened and then were either insanely biatchy to their spouses because of it (married ones) or demanded their boyfriends do something better (for the single ones). It wasn't super creative, just romantic.

Was it a free-range dog's egg or from one of the big commercial egg producers?

I'm generally perplexed at guys that propose in such ridiculous ways...as the girl here noted "I didn't take it seriously at first" I don't think that's what you're going for there.

I've never proposed before, but I'd pretty much keep it sincere, personal, and lots of wine because she'd likely have to be nice and liquored up to say yes.

A buddy of mine at work was taking (night) flying lessons. He took his girlfriend up and had stationed a friend on a hill with a shiatload of Xmas lights, a generator and a case of beer. As they flew over said buddy flipped on the lights, spelling out "will you marry me?". I'm guessing he got some that night.
They're divorced now.

Holy crap that article was full of fail.

From TFA:

"Dafoe "practiced" the proposal on a few lawns that his business tends."

Really? You needed to practice when you're a professional farking lawn guy? *headdesk* Please just don't have children.

"It didn't even register until he got down on one knee," Volz said. "Then I realized what was happening."

o.o

please. no children. i'm begging you.

"After the proposal, Volz took her engagement ring to a jeweler to get it sized on Monday because she feared she might lose the ring."

wtf. Why even put that in the article? Just as well to write: "This money-grubbing coont immediately took it to a jeweler to have it appraised to find out how much her douchebag of a cretin boyfriend loved her". If you're that materialistic, marry someone other than a landscaper.

No, she might actually have been worried if he bought it a little too big or if its too small that she might lose it.

When I was looking for an engagement ring, I tried a few of my (now) wife's rings on my fingers. Turns out her ring finger was the same size as my pinky finger, so I could get the ring the correct size from the start and avoid the embarrassment of giving her a ring the incorrect size when proposing.

Yeah, that is what I thought. I don't know how my husband got my ring size (I don't own any other rings that this one and my travel ring which I just got a week ago). At first I thought it was too big, but after a quick trip to the jeweler (and the $1800 price tag to get it resized) I decided to deal with it. I'm glad too because if I stay properly hydrated it fits great, but if I'm dehydrated it is a tad loose. If I would have had it resized I wouldn't have been able to wear it normally!
