You Be The Judge On Whether These Proposals Are Cute Or Cringeworthy
When you propose to someone, you want it to be meaningful and significant to you as a couple. But also you want it to make for a good story to tell all your friends and family and future children about. It's a fine line.
There's a lot of pressure on the person proposing to find that perfect balance of special yet spectacular, and unfortunately, there are times that people have missed the mark.
You Forgot The Fries
Would you accept a proposal from someone who ordered off the value menu and couldn't even splurge for a Big Mac?
That really shows how much they would "value" you in the marriage.
The Public Needs To Know
L. Parker says he's "sorry 4 the bad times" but did Heather accept his apology and his proposal? Now the entire neighborhood is invested and are willing to sacrifice their bedsheets to keep this story going.
You Have Chosen Wisely
A proposal can be genius and cringeworthy at the same time right? Taco Bell probably never dreamed that someone would actually propose using their hot sauce, but they certainly made it easy for this guy.
Do You Want Hot Sauce With That?
The most important question here isn't if she said yes or not, but it's how did he get the ring on the foot? Did the staff in the kitchen do it or did the proposer fish it out of his bride-to-be's bowl of soup and place it there himself? We have questions.
Making A Splash
This is one of those proposals that worked out but could've gone very poorly if they hadn't properly timed it. Imagine a big splash coming at that moment and soaking all those signs... That would not have gone over well.
The Other Guy
How dare this woman not accept this dolphin's proposal! He was probably heartbroken that she chose the other guy, but don't worry lil guy! There's plenty of other fish in the sea.
Risky Pup-posal
Any proposal involving animals is cute, but also comes with a certain risk to it. You better hope your dog is seriously well-trained or that ring might end up in his stomach!
Their Relationship Hit A Roadblock
Do you wonder how many men walked by this wall with their girlfriends and found themselves in a tricky situation having to explain that they weren't the ones who planned this or drew this?
"If You're Looking"
What we'd like to know is has this ever actually worked? Has a man proposing over Facebook messenger to a woman he's never met ever actually been effective, or is this just an urban legend?
Hope You're Confident She'll Accept
If you're planning to propose on stage in front of thousands of other people, you better be sure she's going to say yes, or it's going to get real awkward real quick. Luckily for this guy, she did say yes!
Adding Insult To Injury
Okay, but how do you accept this proposal? Does she have to choose a rock to give back to him or to throw at him? This seems like poor planning because if she says no you're going to get rejected and have a rock thrown at you.
Say Yes, Or Else
This is a weird threat. "Oh you reject my proposal? That's fine I'll go marry Kate." Kate is the side chick waiting anxiously for her man to finally be willing to marry her.
A Nice, Clean Proposal
We're not entirely sure how this proposal works. Do you set up the shower curtain and then wait impatiently until she goes into the bathroom or do you set it up then immediately take her into the bathroom? Also, if she says no, you have to go buy a new shower curtain, which seems like a waste.
Maybe It's Henna?
Tattoos might be permanent, but we have a feeling this relationship might not be. Unfortunately, this man is going to be stuck only proposing to women named Caroline Summers for the rest of his life, or never taking his shirt off again.
Greetings From Your Fiance
Imagine someone thinking it's appropriate to propose using an e-card. They're not even willing to splurge for a $5 Hallmark card, and instead, you get an ecard sent to your Gmail account while you're on your lunch break.
Ready Player One
Princess Peach and Mario are finally getting married thanks to this gamer-themed proposal! Would you rather be player one or player two? We bet they went and played Mario Kart after this.
Sow His Wild Oats
This would take a lot of planning to pull off this proposal. First he'd have to ruin a perfectly good field, and then somehow get Joanna into the sky so she could actually see it.
A Flimsy Plan
Potato Chip Rock outside of San Diego may be a famous spot, but it looks like it could barely hold one person, let alone two people. A bit of a risky spot to propose!
A Little Cheesy
This proposal was a little too cheesy for our tastes. He couldn't even spring for a two-topping pizza? Even a pepperoni pizza probably would've upped his chances for her to accept his proposal.
Did She Still Get The Chocolate?
The real surprise is that he actually managed to get the wrapping properly back onto the egg after he switched out the toy for the ring. That's marriage material right there.
Bees?
This man proposed to his girlfriend with custom Cards Against Humanity cards, but it could've gone horribly wrong if someone had accidentally mixed up those cards before she read them!
A Permanent Memento
At least he didn't get her name tattooed anywhere on him (that we know of) so even if she says no, he can reuse this for the next time he proposes! And if she says yes then it will always be a reminder of his... sweet gesture.
We Hate An Opportunist
This man really didn't even hide the fact he was clearly just desperate to get laid. We don't know the follow up to this story but we can only hope and pray she said "no."
Ghostwriter
Pro tip: if you're going to hire a skywriter for your proposal you should make sure the pilot knows how to spell, and that the plane has enough gas to actually spell everything out.
Smile For The Camera (That Has No Film)
This boyfriend had his girlfriend carry the ring around all day before he proposed, which seems like a good idea, but what about all the pictures she thought she was taking that day?
He Faced Radiation For Love
Before you judge, this man wanted to propose to his girlfriend who was an x-ray technician, but he wasn't dumb enough to actually swallow a ring — he just tapped the ring to himself so it would show up on the x-ray.
Man Down On 1 Knee In Aisle Five
The only thing that could've made this Walmart proposal better — and worse — is if he had proposed to her in the Men's Wear section instead of the Ladies' Wear section.
Sponsored By Pepsi
Again with the Walmart proposals... Do you think Steph works at Walmart or did her boyfriend have to go into the store and convince the staff to let him rearrange all of their cases of Pepsi?
Sticky Situation
This is one of those ideas that seems cute on Pinterest and her friends on her Instagram will love it, but when you go to actually put the ring on her finger it's going to be covered in marshmallow...
Spelling Does Actually Count
Usually if someone is going to misspell something during a proposal, it's not the only two words that matter, or in this case, one of the the only two words in the proposal. Hopefully she also struggled with grade 2 spelling and won't notice!
Want A Dip?
We have so many questions, comments, and concerns about this proposal using a chewing tobacco tin. At least he got the fresh minty flavor so the tin (probably) didn't smell too bad.
