2.My buddys girlfriend kept telling him that he couldnt surprise her.

After college, they were planning to move together to another town.

About 6 months before graduation, he told her he wasnt sure about the move or their relationship.

She turned around to cry.

He called her name, and when she turned back, he was on one knee.

Did it to surprise her.

He want to the bathroom and then she went in.

While in there he calls to her hey did you see what I left you?

She said, Im not looking in there, youre gross.

She then opened the door to asked him what the hell?

(Sad, but) true story.

I was shook and I still feel the cringe to this day.

Okay, she gets his phone for him.

Hey, can you get me a glass of water?

She gets him a glass of water.

Hey, can you bring me that pair of socks on top of my dresser?

She gets the socks.

The ring is in the socks.

He actually thought he was being romantic.

She thought it was weird as fuck.

Even weirder, she said yes, and theyve been married for more than ten years.

7.My wifes friend was proposed to by her boyfriend (at the time) at her grandmothers grave.

Her grandmother recently passed, and they were there to put flowers on it, and he proposed.

I cringe every time I am forced to remember this happened.

He said you have to do something for me first and gestured to his crotch.

If I were her, Id at least change the story to make it somewhat romantic/ palatable.

Or keep it vague and say he proposed in the car.

Either way, 10/10 trashiest proposal story Ive ever heard.

9.My dad proposed while he and mom were watching TV at her parents.

Not altogether too bad, but hedidnt turn it off.

Waited for a commercial.

10.I was an emcee at a costume contest.

The skit was some Zelda spoof.

As it ended, Link said he had one more thing to say.

she responded in frustration, and ran off stage crying.

The audience of about 1000 people was dead silent.

Link got up, but was standing on his own cape and fell face down on the stage.

His cast had already scattered backstage, and no one went to help him.

He got back up, sheepishly chuckled, and limped offstage and ran past me.

Audience was still quiet.

I still cringe so hard at this memory, I get a sinus headache just thinking about it.

She apparently took that as an actual proposal and talked about how cute it was to other people.

13.My boyfriend tried to propose to me when I confronted him about his drinking.

I guess he figured Id be happy and forget everything.

I said no and he went to rehab.

14.Old roommate threw the engagement ring on the bed his girlfriend was laying on.

She looked at him and, in short, told him to do better.

15.Facebook friend went on a cruise with her boyfriend to some nice islands somewhere (I forget).

He proposed to her on the trip, on video.

When he came to I think he proposed because he would never admit to having actually drowned.

17.My dad proposed to his gf oftwentyyears while she was throwing up sick from food poisoning.

She didnt marry him.

19.Writing it out in gasoline and lighting the gas on fire.

21.A guy changed his Facebook relationship status from in a relationship to engaged.

When his girlfriend called him to ask about it he responded: well, what do you say?

Everyone slated him and his logic behind it was that in any situation with her can be romantic.

Except it was in New Jersey.

And shoves the ring box at her.

Fought all the way through the wedding.

Bless their little hearts!

24.This story is from a friend I have in Cali.

Her first marriage was to an abusive jerk-bait.

Apparently, he took her to Mervyns while they were closing because, big discounts.

He bought her a ring that was originally $1,200 marked down to $400.

Not that money is everything.

Hell, Imademy wifes ring.

But its the principal.

He buys her this ring and shes happy.

Shes waiting for the proposal.

But the ring just sits in the box on the kitchen counter fortwo weeks.

She finally asks him when hes gonna propose, and he says, I already did.

I was waiting for you to put the ring on.

25.My college boyfriend and I had been together barely two months, he was 19 and I was 21.

We got invited to a booze cruise.

I was extremely confused and thought maybe he had gotten sick too.

He then grabbed my hand and asked me to marry him.

27.My husband proposed in the car on the way to the grocery store.

After we got home, we ordered rings online.

They did not get married.

30.My cousin proposed in Burger King with an onion ring.

She didnt give him an answer for a few days.

I cant imagine that drive home.

32.In-laws were in a gas station at around 1 am.

He asked her for a quarter.

He then bought a 25 cent plastic ring from a candy dispenser.

He didnt even get down on one knee.

He just asked if she would marry him, with a plastic ring she paid for.

(I cant remember the exact name).

Every speaker at the ceremony closed their speech with, So Susan, whats your answer?

No one knew who she was, but it must have been excruciating for her.

Eventually a woman held up a sign that said Maybe.

We all knew that she really meant No.

She said yes, then he immediately gave the ring back to the store owner.

She was pissed after that.

36.My wife told me about how her first husband proposed.

37.Sent a text message that said, Marry me.

I replied back, Okay.

38.Dad proposed over the phone and stated they might as well.

39.I was attending my brothers best friends 20th birthday party.

Everyone was speechless like we literally fucking clapped, no cheering and no congratulating.

The last time I saw them together was when I was driving home 3 months later.

She was walking really fast, without a jacket, in the freezing rain.

He was in his car driving alongside her, apparently trying to get her to get in.

Needless to say, there was no wedding.

He proposed to her in a Pizza Hut and the ring ended up turning her finger green.

Im fairly positive theyre still together now, so I dont think it bothered her at all.

43.The girl got impatient.

Finally she decides to take the initiative.

She left a card on the dining room table that says Will you marry me?

She is obviously about to jump out of her skin.

Finally she says So what do you think?

He says Where the hell is my ring?

Theyve been married for 16 years and have two adorable kids.

44.My ex lied that he was going to get deported.

Gave me a ring that was his grandmothers Which was missing a bunch of stones and not resized.

Shes really big on romantic proposals.

So it kind of crushed her because it seemed like he didnt make an effort.

Not sure what his perspective is.

46.My housemate comes from a very religious community.

Like, they have their own shops, restaurants, their own college.

They used to have their own high school but it got shut down for some reason.

Anyway, the friends fiance proposed to her 20+ times over the course of several months.

The church encouraged him to keep on harassing her, and the church shamed her into giving in.

Eventually the friend broke down and agreed to marry him.

I think theyre getting married in April.

48.One day he drives her to a surprise location for a date.

He takes her to this random house in the suburbs with a dog tied up in the front lawn.

Needless to say she said no.

Last I heard he lived in the house for a bit and then sold it for a loss.

No mention of the dog, but Im hoping it wound up with a good family.

Eventually she whispers Can we…..can we talk about this later?

Then the show starts playing some cheesy upbeat Lets go to the ad break!

The juxtaposition between the humiliated couple and the cheesy party backing music, just made it hilariously tragic.

My mom thinking he was joking just said yea and moved on with shopping.

He responds with well yea I thought we were engaged now 34 years later and theyre still married.
