Everyone,
man or woman, has an image in their head
of the perfect proposal. Guys see themselves
shouting it from the biggest billboards
in the city, in the middle of the biggest
sports event of the season, maybe even
on your favorite TV show. The women, simply
see hope that the man of their dreams
will declare their love, drop down on
one knee and ask her to marry him. After
which she says yes, they kiss and voila!
It's time to get ready for the wedding.
Creating perfect wedding proposals
does call for a little planning and
forethought (others call for a lot of
planning). It is quite easy for something
to go, well not exactly wrong but off
the planned track, and make the event
not quite how you hoped it would be.
Here are some examples of funny happenings
at wedding proposals.

AJ
had arranged to have dinner with his intended
bride at his favorite restaurant. He placed the
ring in the folds of the napkin she'd be using
so that she'd find it shortly after she sat down.
Unfortunately, she pulled the folds open too fast,
and the ring flew out and rolled away. AJ had
all the waiters and guests suddenly looking under
their tables for the tiny golden ring. Quite a
sight with everyone suddenly below deck, so to
speak. The ring was found, the proposal made and
she did say yes….laughing all the time.
Sam on the other hand planned
a romantic dinner for two. He had everything ready,
or so he thought. He had carefully placed the
ring her champagne flute so that he could ask
her to make a toast, then propose. He didn't expect
that she would knock back her drink so fast and
almost swallowed the solitaire. Take note: a glass
is never a safe place to put the ring in.
Philip and Lisa met in a charity
event held in the park over a year ago. He decided
to propose to her on the same spot where they
met. Everything was going well. He was all set.
He got down on one knee and just as he was about
to ask her to marry him…the rain came pouring
down. It didn't stop her from saying yes though
they did end up soggy from the rain.
Greg knew his girlfriend Cindy
was absolutely crazy about these Russian matryoshka
nesting dolls. He'd purchased one that she said
she really liked and lay out a trail through their
house for her to follow. He'd placed the largest
piece about two steps from the doorway with a
note asking Cindy to find the next doll. She managed
to find all but the last piece he'd set up. Inside
it was the engagement ring. The only problem was,
the halves got stuck and Cindy couldn't get the
ring out. It took a while, but yes they managed
to get the ring on Cindy's finger and they now
have very happy memories associated with the dolls.
In order to avoid these funny
scenes, just keep it simple. The ladies will appreciate
a simple, heartfelt proposal without the razzmatazz
just as much. They'll still say yes if you're
the one they want and you get to avoid a potentially
embarrassing and funny moment. |
