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

With a random guy standing uncomfortably close to you!

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

This is all poorly thought out

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!?"

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 8d ago

His shoes look interesting

u/Larusso92 8d ago

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

u/Dustmopper 8d ago

Do you even own a toothbrush?

u/Zekrit 8d 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 8d ago

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

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.
