Welcome to Pop The Question, a weekly space to dissect every aspect of wedding madness. Each Tuesday, we'll ask a question (sometimes there might even be a poll!), you'll share answers and stories, and then we'll bring you the best of the bunch on Thursdays. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll fly into a total rage over… » 2/17/15 3:15pm 2/17/15 3:15pm

I've a bone to pick with you about the response to this week's Pop The Question, on the subject of Valentine's Day proposals and weddings: Everyone was far too nice. This is the internet, people! Where is the outrage? Why aren't you screaming at one another and indicating that you are so doing by the employment of… » 2/12/15 5:20pm 2/12/15 5:20pm

When the Hallmark Channel tweets out "fun facts" you can be sure it is with regards to something utterly clichéd. And what could be more clichéd than a Valentine's Day proposal? It's a thing that the Wedding Industrial Complex goes all in on, devoting ad dollars and an unknowable number of proverbial column inches… » 2/10/15 2:00pm 2/10/15 2:00pm

Is that a look of horror or the beginning of a joyous smile? It's always hard to tell how these things will go. » 12/19/14 12:45pm 12/19/14 12:45pm

On Wednesday night's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel invited a "random" audience member onstage for a Hollywood Blvd. scavenger hunt that ended in DIAMONDS and LOVE. Made a lot more endearing by an awkward spotlight fuck-up and the only guy in an Elmo suit who will ever make you smile. Everybody cry on three! » 12/18/14 11:30am 12/18/14 11:30am

A woman wrote a musical based on her relationship with her girlfriend and used it to surprise her with a proposal. » 10/02/14 12:00pm 10/02/14 12:00pm

I am not a fan of proposal videos. Sorry people, I appreciate the planning, the talent, and the creativity that goes into some of the more elaborate ones, but I'm not really interested in peering in on a really deep and cheesy moment between two people. Unless of course if fails horribly like this. Then count me in. » 9/20/14 3:10pm 9/20/14 3:10pm

It's hard for me to hate on stunt wedding proposals, even if they take place during shitty B-grade movies and are touted by local media outlets as "epic." » 9/03/14 6:00pm 9/03/14 6:00pm

An air traffic controller working at Vancouver's international airport proposed to his girlfriend while she was on an arriving flight. » 8/21/14 10:30pm 8/21/14 10:30pm

A thousand years ago in internet time, a New York Post columnist who definitely wasn't trying to write herself into a possible future book deal (which she got) and maybe romcom deal (which she has yet to get, thank god) told everyone who would listen that her boyfriend told her that once she made him 300 sandwiches,… » 5/20/14 1:20pm 5/20/14 1:20pm

According to a survey of 7,000 people in the UK, Christmas Eve is the most popular day for marriage proposals, which makes a lot of sense as a matter of romance and convenience. The holidays make us all romantic and dreamy, and in addition, we're already meeting up with family, so we can share the news. It's a… » 12/24/13 12:00pm 12/24/13 12:00pm

Remember the 300 $andwiches Lady? You know, the food blogger who says her boyfriend told her that once she made him 300 $andwiches, he'd buy her an engagement ring in what of course was not a shamelessly craven gimmick to get a book deal? Well: she's only 100 $andwiches away. And her boyfriend wants advice on how to… » 12/03/13 1:10pm 12/03/13 1:10pm

The morning talk show ratings war is still on and in order to win, Good Morning America has made it their mission to win the hearts of Americans by dominating the weird proposal market. Monday's Veteran's Day-inspired entry: getting a member of the Coast Guard to propose to his girlfriend via a performance by Jason… » 11/11/13 3:20pm 11/11/13 3:20pm

Remember Chirag Shah and Simone Jhingoor? Last month, he proposed to her live on Today, steamrolling over what she thought was her chance to talk about the non-profit where she is employed. Last night, the couple was on Totally Biased with Kamau Bell, where they had a chance to redo the proposal, complete with… » 11/08/13 2:10pm 11/08/13 2:10pm

In this clip from his upcoming Netflix special, comedic powerhouse/Harris' cousin Aziz Ansari puts that whole matrimony thing into perspective, envisioning what a proposal would look like if marriage never existed. Sure enough, the whole idea of nuptials now seems a lot creepier than those wedding videos set to Bruno… » 10/25/13 5:15pm 10/25/13 5:15pm

This morning on Today, Al Roker was about to do the weather when he took a detour and introduced a woman who works at a non-profit. Simone Jhingoor was prepared to talk about the Women's Housing and Economic Development Corporation — which sounds great and important — when suddenly, her boyfriend, Chirag Shah, showed… » 10/24/13 10:50am 10/24/13 10:50am
