<p>H and I are more of the “private people” sort. H purposely had a private room, flowers, lovely dinner and H got down on one knee and asked me to marry him with a zirconia ring (so we could together select one that we both liked). It was perfect for us. </p>
<p>Some folks do indeed love the more splashy, but I would expect the couple to be focused on one another afterwards, not high-5ing fans. It takes all types to make a world. :)</p>
<p>razorsharp, my friend was at the game and posted this on FB yesterday. He said it was awesome to be part of it. </p>
<p>I can’t believe people are criticizing what was both a heartfelt and perfectly choreographed (:)) expression of a young man’s love for his girlfriend. Sigh.</p>
<p>When my fiance proposed, my only request was that it somehow was on video. I tend to completely blank when I start getting emotional. It was at our housewarming party and all of our friends were there (I was the only one who didn’t know what was going on). One of our friends called a toast and was recording it. Once I realized what was happening, I completely blanked out. I didn’t know what he said until I looked at the video later LOL. Afterwards, we pretty quickly started gaming with everyone rather than focusing on each other. I guess we wanted to celebrate with our friends than each other. Most of the people that were there are going to be in our wedding party which made it even more special.</p>
<p>I have to give credit to everyone involved in these types of things. There are generally a LOT of people that have to keep that secret lol. </p>
<p>To each his/her own. Whatever works :).</p>
<p>Yes, bottom line, the couple looked very happy and it was definitely a lot of work by the BF and all the others involved. Touching!</p>
<p>LOL-- first think I noticed is that it was on the wrong hand!! (She reached out the wrong hand- he just obligingly placed it there).</p>
<p>Aww jym, you’re right. That actually makes it even more adorable lol</p>
<p>I just watched it, it was adorable</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh, no, I feel so sorry for that guy. I did just watch it … google “Jumbotron Marriage Proposal Fail at UCLA”.</p>
<p>OK, that was awful. </p>
<p>In the case of the Bulls dancer, I have to believe that the guy was confident she would say yes–a lot of people went to a lot of effort to pull that off.</p>
<p>Oh, no. I watched the rejection video. That poor guy.</p>
<p>[UCLA</a> marriage proposal fail on jumbo vision. - YouTube](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>…Ouch!!</p>
<p>Poor guy? Poor woman, to be put in such an awkward position.</p>
<p>I find all of these big show/choreographed proposals highly distasteful, personally. No better than the Bachelor/Bachelorette kind of exhibitionist crap.</p>
<p>I read that the UCLA marriage proposal fail was a stunt. Hope so.</p>
<p>You may be right cartera45. It looks like the UCLA guy is a comedian. Read the link at your own risk.</p>

<p>Apparently, I’m lost, razorsharp.</p>

<p>Consolation, I do too–personally–but unfortunately they seem to be a fact of life these days. Everything wedding-related is a big production now. Back in the day you told people when the wedding was and then sent out invitations that were simple and looked like everyone else’s (engraved in copperplate, if the couple could afford it). Now everyone has a custom wedding logo and a color palette and clever save-the-date invitations and web pages. It’s over the top.</p>
<p>niquii,
the **** word missing begins with a P and ends with an S. replace the **'S and the NYpost article will appear. Apparently the rejected almost-fiancee made a film about his under-endowed member. Gota give the man some credit. Can laugh at himself. Wonder if the initial spurned proposal was part of the whole film idea…</p>
<p>Ahhh…I am not so lost anymore.</p>
<p>Nearly spit out my water at “Unhung Hero”!</p>
<p>His name is public info, so you can also search on Patrick Moote. Guess he has a Moote point. </p>
<p><<<< slinking away but couldn’t resist the bad pun>>>>></p>
