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, 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

YDI for proposing in front of many people, IMO a proposal should be done in private between two people so the person doesn't feel obligated to accept because so many are watching. Maybe that's why she "fainted" ;)

Umm, a proposal isn't legally binding in the first place. It has the legal equivalent of a piece of paper asking "Do you like me? Check yes or no." Her father is a crappy lawyer.

robert67, you're a moron. If a proposal is legally equivalent to a grade school "do you like me?" note, then why the hell do people need MARRIAGE LICENSES? Think a little before trying to judge people. Otherwise you end up looking rather foolish, just as you did in this case.

I hate to break it to a lot of the people who commented on this one, but most lawyers are not experts on the law itself, even though they went to law school. They find the best way to interpret the law that benefits their clients. That is why paralegals have jobs, as they do the research that they are given in a "I want to say this in court, so find me the stuff that keeps the judge from laughing in my face or my losing my job" situation. As for that father, sounds like Robert DiNero's character from Meet The Parents.... and that is not funny in real life, because fathers like that need a busted nose for pulling that shit.
