Dream proposal

By groomfail - 02/03/2009 01:41 - United States

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, whom I'm madly in love with, by having a plane fly over her house spelling "Marry me Abby?" After seeing it, she locked herself in her room and cried for hours, exclaiming that this wasn't how she wanted to be proposed to. I'd invited my entire family. FML

she should have been thankful, because that's incredibly sweet. i don't understand the obsession with proposals as long as you're genuinely in love and propose in a way that shows you care.

I've only known one other person who had a fiance who bitched about the WAY her boyfriend proposed. She turned out to be insane, and they ended up splitting up. If she's seriously going to cry because you didn't propose how she wanted you to, it's time to break up.

Haha, that sucks man. You should have been paying more attention to her though. I'm sure at some point in your friendship her "perfect proposal" was mentioned x.x

Some people are obsessed with the classic one knee thing. I think this is amazingly ronantic!

just a guess...but maybe it's because you invited your WHOLE family. really think it through, it's supposed to be a special moment. I wouldn't want my girlfriends little brother or sister or mom or dad or whatever to be their during a proposal..

256, I have a small family, just my dad, mom, brother, and i. that's it. my girlfriend is really close to them, so maybe if the OP was having a bunch of people over as a sort of family get together thing and invited the girlfriend as well

That was my first thought, if she is the type of girl that wants a fairy tale propose, she will want a fairy tale marriage and he will not be able to keep up with it

she's clearly a little mentally unstable... maybe this is a sign you shouldn't spend the rest of your life with this person

I don't think she's mentally unstable. I think she's a selfish, greedy, ungrateful bitch and she doesn't deserve him. OP sounds like a great guy.

Run away man. That's a pretty spectacular way of proposing. It really is. And if she can't accept that then she obviously never outgrew playing with Barbies. I would seriously question whether she loves you or she loves the role you fill in her fantasy of what she wants her life to be like. She will never be happy until she understands that life isn't a fantasty world and until that happens you won't be happy either. So you might as well just get out now and look for someone who loves you for you.

"How could you write my name in the sky with a SNJ-2 when you KNOW I wanted it written in the sky by a SNJ-3!?" Dump her.

Really doubt it was smoke as much as a banner.

Wow how ungrateful can one get? Most girls DREAM of being proposed to like that. Seriously instead of crying that it wasn't exactly what you wanted, think about how thoughtful your bf was to do something like that! I think what you did was awesome, don't let her make you think otherwise!

there may be something else (bigger) wrong with the relationship if she's upset about this...

I have a really hard time getting a lecture in classy from someone who's profile name is "lovesdicks". I personally think that was an awsome way to propose. Also dump that crazy bitch, she doesn't deserve the perfect life she thinks she does.

How about you have a nice warm cup of Stfu? Please explain to me how a plane flying over head is trashy. It was so sweet and thoughtful. If you want classy change your username.

I'm guessing u're one of those ppl who has no idea what classy actually is so u pretend in front of other people. I'm also guessing that ur perfect proposal would be a nice restaurant and u find the ring in ur champagne glass?

#9 - How is that trashy and cheap? Surely renting the plane would cost over 500$, with the tax for a message. By the looks of your username, you're the trashy one here.

@9, what trailer trash do you know that could afford that? though he probably should have known she was more of a "traditional" type girl if he was proposing to her.
