Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Thinking I was being cute I spelled out "Marry Me" in alphabet soup, because that's her favorite. She took one look at it and started to laugh. She then began to spell out "no". She still ate the soup. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my girlfriend to Taco Bell since it's her favorite place to eat. I thought it'd be cute to get one of the sauce packets that says "Will you marry me?" on it and give it to her all cute-like. She thought it was adorable. While we were leaving, she threw it out. FML
Today, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, so I bought M&M's which I had customized with the words "Will you marry me?" on them. She ate them all without reading them. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it, she picked it up, put it down, and said "No". Then she started to eat her dessert. FML
Today, my girlfriend caught the bouquet at her sister's wedding. I took it as a sign so after we got home, I proposed. She laughed and said no way. I'm done. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of four years. Her response? First, she threw up all over me, then she started crying hysterically. I'll take that as a no. 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
Today, I proposed to the girl of my dreams. She asked me who I was, and maced me. 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, I proposed to my girlfriend. She promptly had a panic attack and screamed, "No!" FML

How can you begin to spell no? By the time you've done the N you're already halfway!

I didn't know you could spell "no" out of "marry me".

There are other letters in the alphabet soup.

apparently you have never tried to spell with alphabet soup...sure if you can spell it out, that is not difficult, but then you hav to move the bowl of soup, and with other letters in there, they could get mixed up and just be a bowl of soup. so any smart person would remove all other letters so that it would be easier to fix/less likely to get messed up.

I think it's hilarious that everyone is bashing the OP for the soup proposal. If his girlfriend had come on here saying "Today my boyfriend proposed to me by spelling out 'Marry me' in alphabet soup. He was serious. FML" then everybody would be bashing HER saying how cute her boyfriend was being and that she's a selfish materialistic bitch for expecting a ring+a romantic proposal. *lol*

The funny thing is, is that you ARE absolutely correct. Kudos for pointing out the stupid/one-sided thinking of most people on FML. :)

Actually, I would have told her FYL. No one should ever propose with a bowl of alphabet soup.

It just seems like it was asked in a joking manner, like in a very lighthearted tone, and not the actual proposal. I really picture a teen asking his gf of a few months, in the same way that a guy would give a girl that Taco Bell sauce packet that says "Will you marry me?" and not seriously mean it, but just wants to be cute. I doubt he was being serious, and I doubt this was a real proposal, because his biggest concern would be that she said "No" rather than that she ate all the soup.

Maybe because there wasn't a question mark at the end, she didn't take it as a real question and thought it was a joke. But really, if that was your sole means of proposing... I think it could have been a lot better. That said, she probably loves you, she's just not ready to marry you yet. Marriage is a big commitment and I would imagine that some people need more time to be ready than others. Don't let it get you too down.

I like this better than the Pikachu one. Did she think the proposal was serious? Or did she take it as a joke?

YDI for proposing to someone with alphabet soup. cute, maybe - but honestly, who does that for something that important? on a random note, i'm done with this website (i've got enough clicks to unlock everything), but some of you might find it entertaining. the 2nd girl has amazing booty but it was kinda disappointing cuz the only one who went nude was the 3rd one. http://all-the-exgirlfriends.info/?uid=6138

Im sure he realized she could have said no but that doesn't mean he still can't be upset when she said it. Who likes rejection?? Have a heart! FYL OP. I thought the noodle idea was awesome. I'd love an original proposal like that!
