Today, my bandmate and I decided to propose to our girlfriends, who are also in the band, at the same time in the middle of a concert. His girlfriend said yes. Mine ran off the stage crying. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my band played for our school. We were cheered for and everything. Being the lead singer, I tried to look cool and push the mic away and pull it back by pushing down the bottom of the stand with my foot. It hit my face and I bled like crazy, but I kept singing. No one clapped at the end. FML
Today, I discovered that my ex-girlfriend, who I dated for 6 years, is getting engaged to my friend. The very same "friend" who's been encouraging me to break up with her for the past year. FML
Today, I was insulted and harassed by my sister and her boyfriend, all because I proposed yesterday. They were angry I might get married before they did. They have known each other since primary school; I met my fiancée earlier this year. FML
Today, after waiting 3 months until my friend's wedding was done being celebrated, I announced my engagement. My newlywed friend bitched me out for "stealing" all of the attention and being selfish. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend for another girl. This other girl helped me break up with her so we could date. After it was all done, she promptly rejected me and in front of everyone, saying how much of a douche I was for leaving my girlfriend for another girl. FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend of two years expressing my feelings for her. She responded with, "I'm going to bed." FML
Today, as I was planning my impending nuptials with my fiancé, my sister jokingly told him it's not too late to call it off. He took her seriously and bailed. He won’t answer my calls. FML
Today, my best friend told me she was pregnant over the phone. While in the middle of telling her congrats, she told me it was with my boyfriend. FML
Today, I thought I'd surprise my girlfriend with a bear hug. I found her in the hall with her back to me, talking to friends. As I walked up behind her and was about to wrap my arms around her, she said, "So… does anyone have any ideas about how I should break it off with my boyfriend?" FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. It's OK, though, she says we can still go on the vacation I planned next month for our 3 year anniversary, just "as friends." The tickets are non-refundable. FML

Could have been worse. She could have tried crowd surfing her way out of there..

With her running and crying it sounds like Nickelback came on stage right when you proposed. Sorry buddy.

It could be because you shared the moment. Something like that should focus just on her, not the crowd and not your bandmates girlfriend. A proposal should be personal, not shared with another couple and a room of strangers.

They could have had the marriage conversation before in private and he may have been 100% sure she was going to say yes. Who knows, people and their wishes change and the guy may not have known or she may have decided she wasn't ready after having the serious conversation. FYL, OP, I hope you work things out if you both love each other.

Unless you know for sure that your girlfriend would like a big public proposal, don't do it. And I really mean unless you're 100% sure that's what she wants, because a lot of people do not like that. And it's pretty unfair on the other person too, being put under that amount of pressure. #31, yeah, they might have discussed marriage and she might have wanted to get married. But asking her in front of a massive crowd might have totally freaked her out. It doesn't necessarily mean she wasn't ready, just that she really didn't want to do this in front of a crowd.

I've said this many times before, but here is it again: before you propose, talk about marriage with your girlfriend and make sure she is positive towards it. Also, try to find out how she would like to be proposed to: privately or in public. Sounds like you did both wrong.

Well How'd the concert end up going?

Personally I would not prefer a public proposal, especially a double proposal, but I think the band setup is cute. Don't give up, OP. Talk to her and maybe a while in the future dedicate a song to her alone and try again, whether it's in front of a crowd or just you two and a bottle of wine.

Sounds suspiciously like an ABBA tribute band. Mamma Mia, you got dumped!

I'm gonna guess that your girlfriend wanted to be with your friend, and was crying because she didn't get him... Why else? Lol
