‘Tis the season for proposals. The love of your life on bended knee under glittering snowfall and twinkling Christmas lights. You unwrap a special gift under mistletoe and say “yes” with a kiss, tears streaming down your face.
Please be aware: Proposals rarely live up to the romantic expectations fed to us by diamond advertisements. But few can be this bad. From the guy who fumbled the bauble on the Brooklyn Bridge to a proposal tattoo (say it in permanent ink!) to a staged police raid, these bad proposals will make your guy’s casual prenup proposal (will you marry me? sign below) look like a love sonnet.
Bridezilla Presents 8 Proposals to Say No To
1. Police Raid Proposal
Want to bag a wife? All you have to do is stage a police raid. Jon S. Cardin, a State Delegate from Baltimore decided to propose to his girlfriend on a boat. Instead of a classic yacht and sunset proposal, he staged a heart-racing police raid. He wrangled a few police officers and helicopter units to pretend to ransack his boat and pull out a ring. In crime-ridden Baltimore. With taxpayer’s money. This police-raid proposal ticked everyone off but her. She said yes!
2. Love is in the Air
Hajji, of Hackney, east London wanted to give his girlfriend the ultimate proposal. He tied an expensive ring in a helium balloon. You can probably guess what happened next. A gust of wind whisked away the balloon and the affection of his girlfriend, who demanded another ring.
3. Rejected in Front of Thousands
This is why you don’t do the sports proposal. First, there’s absolutely nothing romantic about screaming fans, beer bellies, sweat, and spit (unless you’re in the bedroom). This poor sap is rejected in front of an entire crowd. Court-side ticket holders could see tears forming in the corners of his eyes. Listen to the announcers as they give the proposal fail play-by-play. Ouch.
4. Proposal in Permanent Ink
Somewhere there’s a Caroline Summers with a “no” tattooed on her back.
