Today, in front of family and friends, as I got down on one knee, my girlfriend fainted. Her father, a lawyer, rushed over and said, "Anything she says for the next 72 hours is not legally binding" and whisked her away. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I planned to propose to my girlfriend in front of her family at dinner. I had the ring ready and got down on one knee. She immediately burst into laughter and said, "Are you kidding?" The family stared in silence, and I quickly realised she was just teasing me... until I stood up and knocked over an entire table of drinks. FML
Today, my girlfriend fell asleep while I was proposing. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She promptly had a panic attack and screamed, "No!" 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 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 tried to propose to my girlfriend, but I was so nervous that I had a panic attack, fainted and split my head open. My girlfriend then fainted at the sight of the blood. An onlooker had to call an ambulance for both of us. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I fainted due to the excitement. He took it as a "No" and now won't pick up my calls. FML
Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML
Today, on my wedding day, when they said, "You may kiss the bride", I swung my wife over in the romantic fashion and went in for the kiss. Unfortunately, my hands were sweaty as I was nervous, and she slipped under my grip. She fell and was knocked unconscious in front of hundreds of people. FML
Today, I thought it would be romantic to propose to my girlfriend during halftime at a local football game. I arranged everything with the stadium staff. When the moment came, I got down on one knee, only for her to hiss, "Are you serious? Right here?" She ran off, leaving me kneeling in front of hundreds of people. FML

Accepting a marriage proposal is not legally binding anyways. It's not until you sign up for the marriage license and say "I do" that the legal shit hits the fan. The fact that your future father-in-law hates you will only make your wife more attracted to you. It's ****** up, but that's the way girls are.

First half: that's what I was thinking. OP should be relieved by the fact that the girl's father is probably not a very good lawyer.

A wise man once said that a woman either has daddy issues or a penis.

He probably knows it's not legally binding... he doesn't know whether or not the OP knows it.... in other words, he is a dirty lawyer who tries to take advantage of other people's presumed ignorance.

Just have a (future) father-in-law and son chat and meal with lots of bacon. That will make him warm up to you!

Or just have the chat now. There are a good 72 hours to kill, you could make it through a decent amount of bacon-bonding in that time.

ah, the violence and wars that could have been averted by a little cured pig meat -- though one has to wonder what good it'll do in the middle east and southeast asia.

Well, actually, proposals are not legally binding contracts. You'd look rather silly suing her for changing her mind, if she did. I'm sorry her father hates you, though. My dad kind of dislikes this boy crushing on me, Milhouse.. But I guess that's okay, and not similar, because he annoys me, too.

Homer doesn't hate Milhouse. He even went dumpster riding with him.
