Love: Bean.

Bean.

Today, my partner proposed to me during an anniversary dinner at a small, quiet Italian restaurant near where we live. We'd never been before, but the food was great, and the staff lovely. It all would have been perfect, if not for the dozens of pictures of Mr. Bean which covered every wall. FML

Today, I decided to pop the question to my beloved. Perfect lighting, fresh cut roses, a fancy dinner. The restaurant was in on it too. Shame they brought out the wedding-themed congratulations dessert before I actually went down on my knee. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me at dinner, which would’ve been nice if we hadn’t been dating for only two months, and dinner was at Subway. FML

Today, in break from tradition, I proposed to my boyfriend. We were at a Japanese Pagoda. Water was trickling everywhere; the moment was perfect. While I was on my knee, after pouring my heart out, he looked wistfully out over the water and said, "So, I was thinking pizza tonight." FML

Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. There was a beautifully decorated table with rose petals and a huge bouquet and he told me he had ordered all this for me. I'd never felt so special. That is, until I had to get up for the couple whose table it actually was. FML

Today, my boyfriend of three years proposed to me. He brought me to our favorite restaurant and ordered expensive champagne. It was all very romantic, until he got on one knee and I farted out of surprise. Loudly. FML

Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I got reservations for a romantic dinner, and at the end, fireworks would spell out my proposal. The whole thing had taken weeks to plan out and had cost me a lot of money. She proposed to me at a subway station first. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date to an expensive restaurant. After the meal, he got down on his knee and proposed. We've only been dating for two weeks, so I said no. He just silently kept staring me in the eyes, no matter what I said or did. I ended up having to walk home. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML

Today, I was on a date with my boyfriend when he suddenly got down on one knee and proposed. A waiter tripped over him and spilled our food all over him. FML

Oh, I absolutely adore Mr Bean! I grew up watching him. I was a quiet little girl, almost to the point of being mute. Nothing made me smile or laugh; my mom and dad making funny faces didn't work either. The one thing that got me going was Mr Bean. I'll always treasure him.

Hey, don't knock Mr. Bean. Rowan Atkinson is a legend.

I am going out on a limb and guess you are not happy with the way things turned out. Maybe you're not ready for the commitment or were waiting for an ex to return to you... If you can point to the only "bad" thing of having to endure Mr Beans photos, and it disturbed you enough to come to FML, I hope you did not say yes to your partner. I don't see the point of it. If you were excited or happy you'd have picked up on something happy to focus on. instead you chose to pick up the thing most people would not be offended by.

First off, I have to say congratulations! While I get where you're coming from and agree that for some, Mr. Bean-covered walls might not be the best design for a romantic moment, it will for sure be that much more memorable. Imagine in the future, when you see Mr. Bean and instantly smile, remembering this moment. That's true romance, in my opinion. It's not always going to be perfect, because it's real life. And that's beautiful. I also have to commend you for your choice of username. Pretty clever! Best wishes, OP.

You are the only one here who assumed that she said Yes. You truly are optimistic. God bless.
