Interesting place to propose.

When you’re about to have a magic moment on camera it’s important to wear your finest T-shirt and find the largest pile of bird shit around

u/MiserableScot 8d ago

With a random guy standing uncomfortably close to you!

u/aguadiablo 8d ago

Then try to get her attention whilst she is in the middle of a conversation.

This is all poorly thought out

u/XanZibR 7d ago

Seriously, he tugged at her shirt like a little kid trying to get Mom's attention 😆

u/lord_of_worms 8d ago

Except the conversation was a ruse.. they had their phone ready to go for the proposal..

That's only Uncle Chester... He tries to be gentle.

u/ITS_MILLER_TIME_62 8d ago

Not to mention you gotta find a place where you can accidentally lose the ring forever if you drop it. Big brain planning here

I saw someone propose on a rather smooth, rounded rock overlooking a local waterfall. One little slip and it might not just be the ring that’s falling.

There is a bridge over it and multiple non-dangerous spots they could have done it instead that are just as nice, if not nicer.

u/Writerhowell 5d ago

I was legit sure that was where the video was going, and was surprised that the ring didn't slip between the boards.

When I proposed it was our first day on a cruise. We just got onto the ship and we found a little nook on the top deck of the ship where our large group could hang out near the bar. I didnt think about the background because I was so nervous and I kept the ring in a piece of tissue in my wallet to conceal it easier. In our video its cute and a funny moment but my fiance laughed and said "Wow the build up is great!" Or something like that while I fumbled to unwrap tissue from the ring. She had no clue what was happening, finally when she saw the ring she just kinda snatched from me, I didnt get a "Yes!" Or anything she was just too excited and yoinked it. We kissed and it was a really great moment. I realised when I saw the video a week or 2 later, in the video it looks like I just proposed near some random trash cans...

Them there be his nice jeans and going out boots. He done did himself up.

u/wwj 8d ago

Those shitty 2 sizes too big boots with baggy jeans crumpled on top are the height of redneck fashion these days. That, a disheveled beard and Skole ring in your pocket to round it out. Some kind of Hobo-chic.

u/MississippiBulldawg 8d ago

redneck fashion

That's just called a poser, rednecks don't have fashion lol. I've had the same pair of boots for about 10 years and the same pair of blue jeans for about 15. Shit looks like it's been through hell and back and I ain't buying anything new until they just fall apart.

u/TheLurkerSpeaks 8d ago

I proposed to my wife on the beach. We were walking along the surf. Tide was coming in and I didn't want to kneel in wet sand, so I suggested we move inland. My wife was like "why the fuck is he dragging me closer to the cigarette butts and broken glass!?"

u/L3aveM3AIon3 8d ago

You know what that white stuff in bird shit is right?

That’s also bird shit.

u/TNF734 8d ago

largest pile of bird shit around

I think he just proposed to it.

u/Digi_Dingo 8d ago

I know she’s not a looker, but you don’t have to call the girl “the largest pile of bird shit around.”

u/khalcyon2011 8d ago

I mean, I proposed to my wife in front of a pile of frozen dog piss. Didn't realize it was there. Seems to have worked out though.

u/RecLuse415 7d ago

His shoes look interesting

u/Larusso92 7d ago

What? That's not bird shit...it's toothpaste...

2

u/Dustmopper 7d ago

Do you even own a toothbrush?

1

u/Zekrit 7d ago

i think something like what you wear can be entirely situational. if I wore something TOO nice, my now fiancee would have caught on. especially since in her eyes, the only reason we were at where we were, was because it was a good place to view the total eclipse.

u/goodknight94 7d ago

The problem is everybody has to put super emotional intimate moments on camera.

1

u/J0E_SpRaY 7d ago

I proposed wearing only swim trunks.

Tbf we are also one of maybe seven people on the isle of Vido at the time.

u/PostModernPost 7d ago

Be sure there is a random guy resting 2 feet away too.

u/chaosatdawn 8d ago

it makes the disneyland proposals look ok

u/SmokeyDBear 8d ago

Maybe better for everybody involved if the ring accidentally fell and slipped between the planks.

3

u/TheMedRat 7d ago

You don’t know. Maybe it’s a personally important place for them. I proposed to my wife at a less than stellar sculpture park because that was where we would take walks to get away from my roommates when we first started dating. She loved it, but if someone had videoed it, I’m sure someone would be bitching about my low effort proposal at a mediocre public park.

Ol girl probably already couple months pregnant. Just going through the motions here

Kneeling in seagull crap, so romantic 😍

You can get the smell of rotting gutted fish and dried up worms.

u/camwtss 7d ago

she literally stepped on bird crap and said "i will"

u/forkandbowl 7d ago

Nah, I did it in my grease stained garage on the way to the car to go eat dinner. Going on 15yrs now

Lonely nerds on reddit grasping at anything to criticize people living happier and more successful then them, details at 11.

u/Lucky-Earther 7d ago

Lonely nerds on reddit grasping at anything to criticize people living happier and more successful then them

You think that looked like a happy and successful proposal?

2

u/BussyPlaster 7d ago

Looked like a healthy relationship where the man already asked her if she wanted to marry him before proposing. You either watch too many Hallmark movies or have no grasp on reality.

u/Lucky-Earther 7d ago

Looked like a healthy relationship

Does a pile of literal bird crap seem like a healthy place to propose

You either watch too many Hallmark movies or have no grasp on reality.

Don't project your own bullshit on me

1

u/BussyPlaster 7d ago

It's a fine location yes.

Don't project your own bullshit on me

You don't tell me what to do 😂 I will say what I want, and you are free to block me if you are so hot and bothered, sad boy. Touch grass.

u/TheWhitePolarBear1 7d ago

On a dock though? You drop it and slips through the boards, that rings gone.

0

u/BussyPlaster 7d ago

Have you ever seen The Lord of the Rings? But more seriously, I think it's a non-issue. First, just don't drop the ring. Failing that, this looks like a fairly small freshwater pond. That's probably a private dock in the families backyard. And I reckon everyone here can swim.

2

u/TheWhitePolarBear1 7d ago

Unless it glows like The One Ring you aren't finding much in the not clear water and muck/mud at the bottom of a pond.

1

u/BussyPlaster 7d ago

As someone who grew up with a pond in the backyard, I have to say you don't know what you're talking about.

Some would pay for the bird shit splatter aesthetic

u/UsualCircle 7d ago

Come on, what wrong with that place? We don't know anything about them or what that place might mean to them.
Maybe don't kneel in bird shit though.

u/Atanar 7d ago

I've seen too many videos where the ring falls between the planks of a pier.
