Yes, it definitely wasn't done with the idea that "many people are going to watch this" in mind. If anything, a handful of drunken vacationers watched me propose.

It'd been a year since I first told her I loved her, and two years since we'd started going out. We'd talked about getting married and I knew she was on board- I saw on a TV show once that "a lawyer doesn't ask a question that he already doesn't know the answer to" and, while I'm not a lawyer, I knew what she was…

i think you've expressed exactly why the progress of feminism continues to be hindered. For some reason, women being controlled and subjugated has been romanticized to mean that they are desired and valued. The faux begging for the hand, when everyone knows they're dying for that ring and the security it symbolizes…

The worst part (in my view)? 1 second per frame = a little over 6 minutes. WHY IS THIS 13 MINUTES??? Get your editing skills together man!

Ultimately if she loved it and agreed to marry you and it wasn't like "oh shit I had no idea you wanted this but I better say yes so I don't hurt his feelings", then it's fine. Even the above is fine if that's how SHE felt. But in my opinion, your story and the one above are MILES apart so I think you are quite safe.

Yasssss! Death the the Grand Gesture (GG). I wrote this earlier about video proposals, and it definitely applies to this ridiculousness.

Not if he is videotaping me without my permission. That is crazy and a huge violation. It would be especially unsettling if he had recorded it months earlier and then "presented" it to me.

starred times a million

What if he also took hair from her hair brush and hair from his hair brush every day. At the end of the year he comingled the purloined brush fashioning creepy doll baby and presented it too her at the time of the proposal as their first born child?

Dear people of Earth: it's romance, not performance art. Get it right.

Would it be more or less creepy if he had actually thought of more than three messages over the course of a year? It seems like he cycles through "Will you marry me," "I love you," and "make the happiest man in the world" over and over again. This marriage is going to be as boring as his wardrobe.

Of the obituary section.

But, he's like the bestest, most romantical guy in the world and why can't these jealous shrews see that?!?!

Front row tickets to the shit show!

I watched it, thinking it may be cute, and my takeaway? His face went from decently attractive to weird and punchable. It reminded me of when you say a word so much it sounds like nonsense? Except with punching.

Why couldn't he just take a picture with each day's newspaper, like the serial killer stalker abductor that he is?

"If you wanted to marry me last year, why did you wait all this time before asking me? It would've been nice to know sooner."

Unfriend. UNFRIEND!

I want an invite to their wedding because if this is the proposal, that wedding and reception are going to be a narcissistic egotistical nightmare that will be spoken of for years to come, by everyone who no longer wants to be friends with them.

ugh, people on facebook are posting this like "omg so cute <333" barf
