but if your proposal is extravagant, the wedding has to be, then anniversary and so forth.

do you feel it sets the bar too high for your future milestone events?

so you're the guy on the SEC commercial... did you do it there because it just meant more?


That tagline was soooo cheesy

Actually (warning: Aggy cult shite ahead), the venue in the commercial is the Century Tree. It's tradition to propose there, but I wanted to throw Aggiebelle off the scent a bit, so I went with the giant Aggie ring replica across campus. Not as cliche of an Aggie proposal location, and she liked it (and obviously said yes ).

I did it all straight white trash style.

Proposed on a Carnival cruise ship, at one of those photo sessions.
Got married in Vegas. Circus Circus because fear and loathing is one off my favorite books/movies, and it was cheap for a lot of rooms there.
Lol

Not gonna lie mine was pretty baller... under the eifeel tower in Paris. Kissing under the tower was always something she wanted to do so I upped it.

Hardest part was traveling with a ring in my pocket/bag for a week in Italy before we made it to Paris lol

in our case it was both of our second marriages so we went to the park for our wedding and my friend who is a politician married us and her friend who is a professional photographer was witness/photographer.

the wedding was $50

Nah.

We got married half a year later by a JP in downtown San Antonio. Just her immediate family and my immediate family standing there. Said the vows, and that was that.

She's also cooler than most gals, though, so idk, that probably wouldn't fly with most of our millennial peers.

May have said this here before. I used to joke around a lot. Like I'd get down on one knee in special locations, making a big show to her, only to tie my shoe or something like that.

Well, I ended up asking on New Years eve on the way to a party with her friends. All that joking about it backfired. She thought I was screwing around and had a fake ring or something. She kept blowing me off saying no, stop it. I was already nervous as shite, had just dropped a ton of money on a ring, etc.. I ended up having to yell "I'm not f**king kidding damn it!". I was not expecting an F-bomb in my proposal, but it worked out I guess.

Once in the parking garage after dinner at Camelot club (pussed out to do it at dinner), once on the couch after like 3 bottles of wine, once at palace cafe sipping bloody marys to alleviate viscous hangovers. All 3 said yes. All 3 ended in divorce.

Why do so many people have to make a big show out of proposing? It’s about you and your wife. No one else cares


It's really awkward at sporting events. The person can almost have to say "yes" or get booed. I think a lot of these public proposals are pre-planned by the couple and that they already know they're getting married.

I know a poor bastard did the whole Disney world castle, supper, prosose in the archway as the fireworks go off in front of 10,000 people deal.

He divorced 1 1/2yrs later after a 10yr relationship. Don't think the poor son of a bitch ever did recover. One of the best guys you ever did meet too. He just got a hold of a Cinderella type bitch that went from rags to riches off of his back.
