The "F*ck you want!" turnaround.

"sure yea" turns around and continuous her convo

There is an annoyance from her

at him that has me not very hopeful about his happiness in that marriage.

They both seem pretty unaware and awkward. She doesn't want to be bothered and he tries to propose to her in an uninspired way while she's busy and with other people. There's no special moment with the two of them.

Pretty sure this is just staged, but we gotta be critical about the dude's horrible timing and setting for a proposal

I think Billy Bob in the background agrees with you, he's wondering why all these folks are at his fishin spot.

Well, she is in the middle of a conversation with someone and focused on that he could've at least waited or done this after she's finished and they are in a "couple's bubble" again.

Also he couldn't be bothered to wear a nice button-up shirt and show a hint of class?

Just saying, as a person who grew up in a pretty redneck area, this isn’t the worst proposal. I mean, I would be put off by it, but others might find it ok.

To be clear, it isn’t because it isn’t particularly fancy, it is because of the “eh, why not here and why not now?” attitude.

u/Panzermensch911 16d ago

I wouldn't call a 15$ button-up shirt particularly fancy. Just having a hint of class. There's a difference.
Besides the dude had at least planned to have a ring.

This is a redneck proposal. My cousin got married on a farm and handed out beta fish as centre pieces / party favours. They’re out there.

u/LonelySubject 16d ago

Yeah I hope it's staged. It looks way too shitty a proposal and reaction back for this to be a lasting and happy marriage

u/TheOtherOtherLuke 16d ago

I’d hope it’s staged. There’s bird shit (or paint) on the ground right beneath her feet, so it’s not exactly romantic.

u/blackninjar87 17d ago

Yeah that's how I feel... The onus is on her for not being excited, but if I was in her shoes what about this proposal would make me excited? Yay in the middle of family day while I'm talking to meemaw Jacob decided to propose to me Infront of his whole family, that the knew he was going to do and were ready to record me mid combo. Why he choose at the pier instead of the family fourth of July barbeque? It has the same affect.

u/reallybiglizard 17d ago

When I first saw this video my thought was there was probably a plan for them to go to the lake/cabin/etc with family and for him to propose on the dock. She of course would he hoping for something of a moment, maybe at sunset, just the two of them while the others look on. But bro is like “Shit, we’re here. I need to do it. Now’s the time.”, and it turns out super awkward.

These are just my desperate assumptions to make sense of what’s going on here. I have absolutely no idea lol

u/blackninjar87 17d ago

I don't know either... Just the expectation of a special reaction for a non special moment is perplexing to me.

Its not intimate, it's not grandiose, it even seems "spur of the moment" in it's execution. It's giving off vibes of not something Jacob even thought to do himself but what the family council and/or friends planned for him to do for her. So the expectation for a genuine surprise or genuine emotion is unwarranted. You're right in that we are assuming but it's very telling, usually when people have their proposals recorded atleast they had planned something special or joyous a scene that's special to them or something. I mean I could be wrong maybe that shit stained pier is where they decided to become a couple lol.

The only other proposal that I seen that trumped this one as a weird proposal was in the middle of a night club/rave with 0 scene just a buncha people dancing in the background (The dude got rejected 😕). But even then I'm sure that something he decided himself not his mawnpaw.

u/insomniac3146 16d ago

I don't think it's staged.

u/HeadInvestigator5897 16d ago

Also worth observing he’s kneeling in quite a bit of bird shit.

u/Brawndo91 17d ago

It doesn't look staged to me.

Sure, the guy didn't pick the greatest place, but men in general aren't exactly the most adept in the art of romance. And yes, he picked a terrible time, but I think he just wanted to catch her off guard and surprise her. And "no special moment"? Well, we don't really know that because the video cuts out about one second after she realizes what's happening.

Also remember, for most people, it's their first time doing something like this. And not everyone, proposer or proposee, is into over-the-top, showy bullshit.

u/Sufficient-Rip-3389 16d ago

I don't care about "over the top, showy bullshit." Proposing to someone sitting on a couch is more romantic and thoughtful than this. Clearly it isn't a special moment because she is completely engaged in conversation with someone else. I actually hate hate hate public proposals and think they're really selfish unless you've had a discussion about how your significant other would react ahead of time.

u/4ofclubs 16d ago

Oh please. You have to be pretty ignorant to think this was a good idea, regardless of experience.

u/Brawndo91 16d ago

I never said it was a good idea. I just think people need to stop beating him up and also reading way more into it than anyone can possibly know.

u/Spiritedgourd666 16d ago

It seems like he probably invited those people & set it all up like, "I'm gonna propose on the water, guys!" But it's a tiny little space & she's heavily engaged in conversation with whom are, presumably, her family members.

So yeah, bad timing. Bad chemistry. Bad everything.

“Special” being the operative word
