Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. Three hours later, he called me to tell me he was kidding. FML
Today, my boyfriend got on one knee and started talking about how we met. Knowing what was coming, I started tearing up, absolutely sure he was going to propose. Just as I was about to say yes, he quickly stood up and yelled "HAH, JUST KIDDING". FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She pretended not to hear me. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were making fun of a photo album on Facebook containing pictures of two friends who just got engaged. I jokingly asked her to marry me. She said yes. We have been dating for two months. She's not in on the joke. FML
Today, I proposed to my boyfriend. He laughed at me and said that proposing is a man's job, not a woman's. FML
Today, I proposed to my boyfriend. He said yes, but is now sulking because I took away his "manhood". Jeez, sorry I didn't want to wait another 7 years for you to finally do it. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years asked his friend to propose to me for him, because he was too nervous to do it himself. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. I said yes. This caused him to panic, excuse himself, then take it back via text message a half hour later, claiming he'd been drunk. We live together. When he comes back home, it's going to be very awkward indeed. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML

That would be awesome to only have to remember your anniversary every 4 years

Why is it a joke to marry on a leap year? Shoulda waited for April fools day.

If he didn't think it was funny today, he'll probably start avoiding you more and more. Evidently, you're the girl he'll, er, "be with", until something better comes along.

Damn you shouldn't joke like that!

I'm pretty sure OP was hinting at wanting to get married. If not, then the joke could have easily turned into something serious. People these days are way to sensitive. Also, if a couple is close, then joking this minor should be acceptable.

It's something they do over in Europe, I believe in Ireland.

That man is so scared of commitment he probably doesn't even buy green bananas.

... Everyone's making so much comments but the biggest factor here is missing, how long have you been together? There's a hell of a difference between a couple of months, three years and six years when it comes to a marriage commitment.

Exactly. If they haven't been together for very long you can't possibly expect a positive reaction.

He'll get over it, just explain it was a joke. It would be cute to get married on leap year, it's considered good luck and it would help out the spouse who forgets anniversaries, they only have to remember it every four years.
