Today, in the middle of a hot air balloon ride with my girlfriend, I asked her to marry me. She said no. The rest of the ride was the most awkward two hours of my life. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had to suffer through a four hour flight beside my ex. Yesterday, I proposed, on the last day of our vacation. She said no. FML
Today, after my girlfriend telling me for years that she would marry me in a heartbeat, I finally proposed. She said no. FML
Today, I went through with my elaborate plans to propose to my girlfriend with creativity. I took her skydiving and proposed in midair. She rejected it. Why? She wanted a more "traditional" proposal. 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 my girlfriend from the top of a bungee jumping platform at an amusement park. I yelled out, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" from the platform, pointing her out. Turns out, I was pointing at the wrong girl. My girlfriend was very angry and ran away when the wrong girl yelled, "Yes!" 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 went skiing with a girl I like. On the lift I asked her out. She said no. Halfway up the lift stopped. We were stuck up there for nearly an hour. FML
Today, I called in to my girlfriend's favorite radio station to propose. After spending what seemed like an eternity telling her how much I love her and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, she took a deep breath, said, "How about no?" and hung up. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." FML
Today, I was walking with my girlfriend of a year and a half on the beach. Everything was fine until she saw a plane with a banner behind it saying "Cassie, will you marry me?" She said yes. I didn't order a plane. FML

That really sucks. Usually you talk about it first though. Not surprise them. If you did that then you would've been more aware of what her answer would be.

Bitches be hatin'

3 - OP probably wasn't expecting his girlfriend to say no, so he thought if he did it at the start they'd share those two hours together holding one another and being romantic and crap.

She might had needed more time before she got tied down to you, you should've asked her if she'd consider getting married later or if that was it.

I can't help but notice how similar this situation is to a situation on xkcd, in which the comic follows this exact story. Except there are spiders.

I don't know that it would be awkward or just really sad. I'd probably just be a wreck I mean obviously you loved her a lot if you asked her to be your wife. I'd just be terribly sad.

Look out for that.... Tree! Oh, wrong movie. Still would have been hilarious since he's not looking where he's going the whole time.

I agree !

I also would have tossed her, but with something witty and involving a skydiving joke.

Ouch!!

How is she a bitch for saying no? Are people supposed to say yes just because one person wants to?

OP, should have prepared for the negative answer with a parachute.

I'd hate that so much. Best way to do it would propose at the end, just in case :P

I think his goal might have been to have some romantic time together AFTER she said yes, you know when they're both happy and excited. A hot air balloon isprobably much moe romantic than the exiting area of one

If you think the person could say no, you probably shouldn't propose.

Bad luck OP. You should however have no regrets, it sounds like you made it as romantic as possible and its her loss!

Definitely not a situation I think anyone would choose to be in. Then again I can't say that I blame him for not waiting until the end. I bet when he planned out the proposal, he really didn't go into it expecting her to say no.
Tdrizzzzzly 19
Well damn, what an asshole. Seems like you're a nice guy... Idk why she'd say no

Hey, it was her decision to decline and that isn't really bad thing. I feel sorry for OP though. You'll find that special someone, OP. Keep your head up high.

9, you don't know anything about their relationship or OP. He could be a huge jerk for all we know. They could have a bad relationship, you never know. Anyways, sorry OP
