Proposal and Love: Timing is everything

Timing is everything

By -bird-poop- - 10/10/2009 12:52 - Germany

Today, I finally plucked up the courage to propose to my girlfriend of 7 months. I took her out to the park where we had our first kiss, I got down on one knee, and before I could say, "Will you marry me?" a bird shat on my head. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of three years on a romantic picnic to the park, so I could propose to her. The moment was just right, I made my move. I knelt down on one knee and asked her. Her response was "you're kneeling in dog poop." I looked down. She was right. 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, I proposed to a girl I'd been in love with for 6 years. I filled the balcony of the building where I'd first laid eyes on her with innumerable roses and, under the starlit sky, I did it. She later posted on facebook 'OMG. This geek I knew from high school did the FUNNIEST thing today'. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 3 years finally proposed to me at the park we first met in. As I was about to say yes, a huge fly flew straight into my mouth. I ruined the moment by choking on it and eventually spitting it out on him. I think he's rethinking the proposal. FML

Today, after 2 years together, my boyfriend finally proposed. I excitedly said yes. Just as we began to kiss, my half crazed cat ran in, dropped a half eaten bird at our feet, and promptly threw up on the carpet. FML

Today, I got on one knee in front of my girlfriend. I pulled out the ring, uttered the words, "Lisa, will you…" then abruptly shat my pants. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She was so happy that she began flapping her hands around and screaming. She was flapping her hands so hard she smacked herself in the face and started crying. FML

Today, I decided to propose to my girlfriend on the Charles Bridge in Prague. A little boy thought it would be fun to chase a flock of pigeons towards me. I freaked out and dropped the 2 carat diamond ring. Into the river. FML

You will always have a funny story to tell at family gatherings, and at your wedding reception... if she accepted.

I feel bad for you if this is true. If it isn't, you got this from one of MAD TV's sequences.

"shat" is not a word. Whoever came up with it and anyone who uses it is ******* retarded.

Shat is the past tense of shit. http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/shat?view=uk

It is the proper past tense form of "shit", "shitted" as you may be thinking isn't even a word, now who's the "******* retard"? "shat (shāt) v. Vulgar Slang A past tense and a past participle of shit." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shat

You're a ******* idiot. Slowly try to pull your head out of your ass. I know it's in real deep.

First of all, what was her answer? Second, are you sure 7 months isn't too early...? Third, either it was a sign not to do it, or a good luck sign like many people believe in.

And if you didn't ask her, how the **** did you explain being down on one knee, presumably with a ring in hand?

People freak out and think it's to early for someone to get engaged after 7 months. YET the freak out when someone still isn't engaged after 6 years... Seriously, is there an age scale that tells you when it's the right time to marry??? I don't think so. So shut the **** up.

Well, at least your proposal wasn't boring and typical and wasn't creative by your fault. According to FML, those always fail. The bird did you favor by making it memorable without you having to do anything that apparently is seriously stupid, immature, embarassing, etc blahblah...
