Unicorn(s) Jumping Over A Rainbow

Frolicking Through The Flower Fields

I seriously hope this was staged or something…

I saw this video earlier today and was not the least bit surprised that some of the comments bashed this woman and claimed that she was the biggest bitch on this planet.

Well I’m sorry, YouTube community… She’s not. Her boyfriend (ex-boyfriend?) is.

I think this is one of the stupidest ways to propose… I mean, if any of you guys ever resort to this approach, always remember that you could possibly humiliate, not just your potential fiancee, but yourselves as well. But more importantly, think about how unfair it is to put the girl on the spot in front of all those people. 

Marriage is such a big a commitment. It took a lot of guts for this girl to say no, but people don’t understand that and now she looks like the bad guy for turning her back on a decision she wasn’t ready for.

When I was younger, I came up with a mental list of proposal tips that I expect the person deranged enough to ponder spending the rest of his life with me to follow:

1. Do not put the ring in my drink (because I WILL swallow it and die).

2. Do not propose on Valentine’s Day (because… TALK ABOUT CHEESY. There are plenty of other nice, less-commercialized days in the year that won’t force me to share my proposal day with every other lovestruck person on the planet. And if you are dumb enough to do this… I’m not stupid. It will be a case of: “Ohhh, killing two birds with one stone. I see what you did there, you little prick.”)

3. Do not propose to me in a restaurant, in the middle of a sporting event, after the fasten seatbelt sign has been turned off at the beginning of a 10-hour flight to Europe, or any other situation that involves human witnesses who would be ready to cheer or throw tomatoes at me, depending on my answer (see above).

4. Propose to me via Pokeball and I will say yes in a heartbeat (because Pokemon references are creative and awesome in every way).

Too bad someone already beat Future Fiancee for that idea:
