Then there is the awkard "kiss cam" thing. Sometimes you can tell that if the camera wasn't on them, there's no way they'd lock lips. My favorite one was a girl who flat out refused to kiss the guy next to her so some dude sitting behind them dived over the seat and kissed the guy. Hilarious!

I found this to be WAY funnier than most people did. I'm giggling again watching it.
It's like a month old now, I need to update it.

how often is the proposal a complete and total surprise?
most if not all of the women i know had some sort of inkling that something was gonna go down when they got proposed to....whether it was a surprise party or whatever. there's the whole 'ring' thing, too...if you've been with a guy long enough, you hope you would have discussed the ring...he'd probably have to take one of your rings to get it sized right, or just guess and then get you a ring that's way too small (how embarrassing), but seriously...i've never been engaged, but after being in two long term relationships, i think i'd be able to smell an engagement cooking in the distance.
if i was proposed to on national television and i wasn't prepared to be on camera, i would be mad beyond words...which is why i never wear sweats outside of my apartment unless i'm going to the gym.

"but that's not how it is supposed to go,' he says. 'i am supposed to get the ring for you and surprise you'
'yes, darling,' i reply. 'but if I have to look at a ring on my finger every single day for the rest of my life THAT I HATE, i will slowly come to resent you and it will suck the love out of our marriage and i will become but a pathetic shadow of what i once was.'
he concurred that in fact picking out the ring together would be a good idea.
this has nothing to do with me wanting a big shiny rock. i do not want a big shiny solitaire 45k diamond. I want something unique and artsy and casual

this all makes me sound superficial i am well aware ( and i am superficial, so...) but if you love jewelry but hate traditional solitaire engagement rings, you think about this kind of stuff!

I have been wearing a big turquoise ring on my left hand for seven years--a ring i really really love. So the ring that replaces it has to be awesome!

"That's not my middle name."
"Will you marry me?"
