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 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, 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 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 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 took my girlfriend of nearly 2 years out to dinner so I could propose. When the waiter brought the check, I caused a bit of a scene to get everyone's attention. When I got on my knee and proposed, she said no and asked if I could hurry up and pay, because she was embarrassed. FML
Today, after three years with my dream girl, I decided to pop the question by making her complete a scavenger hunt ending in her finding me, suit and everything, by the park bench where we had our first kiss. She came home tired and, instead of following the clues, decided to watch TV all day. FML
Today, I gathered both mine and my girlfriend's families secretly to a restaurant. I paid the restaurant to play romantic music, and paid for the best table available. As soon as we finished our meal, our families gathered around and I proposed. She laughed and said no way. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML
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 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

THAT BITCH! honey, this isnt an FML moment....for many reasons. 1 they cant spell words with fireworks...look it up if you dont believe me. 2 if you love her enough to marry her you wouldnt be that upset over her proposing to you first 3 if you would be that upset over her asking first, dont get married. marriage is expensive. 4 and if you paid someone who said they could spell "will you marry me?" in fireworks ....thats money you wont ever see again.

Oh man, I'm engaged to a woman who wants to be with me as much as I want to be with her, FML.

Dude that does suck that you just spent a crap load of money on a huge proposal. But you got the girl of your dreams to marry you. Your a lucky man. And maybe you can still go on with the thing you got set up. That'll really show her that you want her just as much as she wants you.

At least that means she really wants to marry you too. =)

The important thing is that she wants to marry you too. Being romantic is good, but there is such a thing as over-the-top. The fireworks? Over-the-top. Thoughtful, but too much. However, there is such a thing as being too UNromantic too, and proposing at a Subway?! (I don't know if you mean the restaurant or an actual subway, but both are equally bad.) But unless you're rich, don't waste money on something like that. The proposal itself will make the night special enough. Keep the money for something useful. You'll be spending your life together, and I'm sure she'd appreciate it more if you used that money to help provide for your home and living expenses. Or just something practical, that the two of you can USE instead of just look at ONCE. Or save it to use on the wedding itself.

everyone, RELAX. not every FML on here is a true **** my life, where the outcome is miserable. because of this site, FML has come to stand for other things too... it's just more of an "fml, this happened when i did all this work, but my life really isn't ****** because otherwise i wouldn't be on this site" if anyones life is really as ****** as you would all like them to be, this site wouldnt exist because those people wouldnt have the time to sit on here and try to fit their FMLs into the word limit, they'd be trying to fix their ****** up lives. this is just an amusing story, and a romatic one at that, so everyone needs to relax and stop taking FML to be so literal. and congrats on the engagement! how cute. and it's great to see that girls can do the proposing sometimes.
