I know a friend who’s proposal didn’t go exactly to plan but ended up really cute in the end. He lit hundreds of candles in his tiny apartment and as soon as his now wife entered the apartment, he had a classical playlist on. He changed the playlist to a soundtrack one and when he got down on one knee, the Jurassic Park theme came on. They celebrated by pretending to be dinosaurs around the apartment.
"Anthony.... Anthony you have to come here" 😂 You know it's real love, he didn't seem at all surprised or concerned by Anthony's response, he knows him well and loves him.
Yes, very much so Yes! And then it gives people the space to comment on your relationship and sometimes it’s not really a ‘no’ but a ‘not yet’ or ‘I’m not ready’
@@jessyncust76 not all the time. I think that’s a very western concept and depends on if you’re religious or not. I know where my mom is from marriage is discuss beforehand but also courtship is more the norm than dating. I guess it’s different for everyone but I think this surprise proposal thing is kind of new. Even my grandparents didn’t necessarily have a surprise proposal it was pre-determined that they were getting married and I guess it was more so a matter of when my grandfather would officially ask so the question of marriage wasn’t up in the air.
I love how with the last couple you can tell they know each other quite well because when the one "runs away" the other knows he's just being an emotional drama queen in the best way and doesn't get discouraged or worried that it's a no. Hella cute
OMG they're so cuteeeeee!!!! He's so taken aback, that's adorable. I really needed a wholesome video after all the rejection, what a good note to end on!
The couple doing the "lost the ring" prank were precious. He's clearly already proposed to her, just the two of them, and they've decided to do an announcement/public proposal for the enjoyment of everyone else. _That_ is a good public proposal: one where you already know/said it's a yes and it's done for funsies
Hearing people boo over a declined proposal just makes me angry af. They have NO IDEA what's going on with those people. I had an abusive ex I hadn't mustered the courage to leave. After a particularly bad night with a fight and thrown things and a destroyed dresser, he proposed to me the next day in public in front of a bunch of people we knew. I was flustered and angry and scared and when I said no quietly, he stood up and screamed "Just joking!" and started laughing. The guys in these videos didn't try to play it off, but strangers expressing a group opinion over such an important decision is just ridiculous.
Yeah, these proposals remind me of an abusive relationship I was in as well. Well, I mean, he was in it…thinking I was, too. Although I had broken up with him, clearly, by saying, “We.Are. Over.” That was the final thing I said after tons of other less harsh things to break up… When he asked me to marry him, I just asked him if he was smoking crack.
The last one is so freaking adorable. The fact that the one doing the proposing is so patient shows how well he knows his fiance. It was the 'anthony you have to come here' for me tbh. He let him have his whole range of emotions, knowing it would be a yes lol
I think it's safe to say that we men should talk to our partner about the idea of marriage before actually making a BIG PUBLIC PROPOSAL, because this right here is embarrassing as hell.
Also, because society as whole is so sexist, the woman gets booed for saying no. Women don't owe men a yes because they propose to us... Especially if it's done in public
@@jessicahexhibits I agree, there's just so much pressure when it comes to Public proposals. I do understand that some people want to show how much a spouse means to them in that way but when it comes to making such a personal and life changing decision Infront of strangers... I agree with the choices/behaviors of some of the people.
@@faithalcindor2785 In my opinion; and I'm not disagreeing with yours just adding to, "showing how much their spouse means" includes knowing their comforts, discomforts, ideas on marriage, etc. Some people like public proposals, some like an extreme amount of creativity and thought go into it, and some people like to keep the moment between each other before sharing the news with everyone else.
I was single about 6 -7 years following a 10 year very abusive relationship. I had been dating him for about 2-3 years when he first proposed. I wasn’t ready to commit to anyone and wanted more time to be certain of who he was before saying yes. I explained that, he was hurt but understood. We continued dating, eventually saw other people for 6 months or so before getting back together. He proposed again and I said I loved him, couldn’t see myself with anyone else but still wasn’t quite there yet. Again he understood. A year later he gave me a big hint that he had something really special for me as a Xmas gift. It gave me about a month to seriously think about it. I realized I couldn’t say no a 3rd time and still keep him. After dating for 6.5 years he proposed Xmas Eve sitting around the Xmas tree right after he went to midnight Mass with myself, my 19 yr old son and 9 year yr old daughter. I said yes. The ring was gorgeous. I still had many doubts but I didn’t tell him that. We married the following August 20 years ago this coming August and he’s never put his hands on me in anger. We haven’t had every day as paradise but most of our marriage has been great, especially the past 10-12 years. But I’m grateful he allowed me the time to heal. Sometimes it’s not the wrong person just the wrong time.
This is a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. I love that you found happiness with someone after such a painful experience and that he also found you 🥰
love this, I am very happy for you and congratulating of finding a man emotional mature enough to take a no, hear you out and work it out instead of getting petty
You know the couple who got engaged after he fell out of the gondola will be telling that story for the rest of their lives. ❤️ And I definitely agree: DO NOT propose in public unless you've both discussed it beforehand. P.S., Anthony and his fiance are adorable!
To the woman who had to listen to her boyfriend give a speech to the crowd about his intentions because he wanted everyone cheering for him, I'm so proud of you. Drop that narcissist.
Anthony was adorable! Clearly his boyfriend knew how reacts and you could hear the smile in his voice as he was asking him to come back. Lol I was worried when he initially walked away but then he just sat with his emotions for a second. Too cute!
That one was so freaking adorable, how much Anthony freaked out, really a breath of fresh air after all the sour ones, way to end on a good note! It definitely was the cutest thing I've seen all day!
I saw a case where the guy made a public proposal and she said no and left angry, the video went viral and people where bashing her, even harassing her, then it came out that she had found out he was cheating and broken up, he convince her to go out so they could talk and that's when the proposal happened. So we never know whats behind the videos.
This kind of happened with my daughter. The man wasn't cheating, he just wasn't her soulmate. She had broken up with him and He wanted to have a final dinner as a sort of final goodbye. She went but didn't want to. In the middle of dinner, he got onto one knee and proposed with a ring. She hugged him and said in his ear, "I'm going to hug you and act happy to save you from embarrassment in this restaurant, but fuck you and your manipulation." Good for her.
It’s okay for someone to say no to a proposal for any reason. Isn’t it sad that as a society (I’m not specifically referring to anyone in this comment section) we get mad at people who say no, even though it is a perfectly valid response? 😕 it takes being cheated on for people to be sympathetic towards the person rejecting the man proposing to them?
I am absolutely terrified of public proposals. If someone did this to me I’d probably freeze up and just cry or run away they give me way too much anxiety
I absolutely NEVER wanted a public proposal and and specifically NEVER a proposal in a restaurant. It's funny because I was proposed to in a public restaurant on a cruise ship. Things don't always go how you dreamed them to, but at least I said yes to my dream man.
I fucking love Anthony and his future husband, hope they live happily ever after. I can imagine the wedding when they ask Anthony, will you marry this man 😂 "eeeAAAAGHHHH" *runs around church etc. crying and screaming*
When discussing marriage with my partner I basically said, “if you propose in public I will say no out of spite.” Haha we agreed to elope if we ever did tie the knot
I told my husband that I'd NEVER want a public proposal because of my anxiety. He agreed cause he doesnt like them either. His proposal was sweet n personal n thats what it should b
I can't help but wonder if some of these guys were on tenuous ground in the relationship, and did a public proposal in the hopes of pressuring the girl to say "yes". My wife of almost 45 years and I talked about it, got the blessing of our parents and had even picked out a ring set before anything public, but we both KNEW we were going to spend our lives together. Moral: be on the same page, folks! A proposal shouldn't be a shock nor a "bad" thing for the girl!
I feel so bad for the women that run. I think most of the time, it’s not the person they’re running from but the situation over all. It’s so common for the women to get booed or yelled at with the arena/sports proposals. That’s a lot of pressure to say yes and I would absolutely call it manipulative if it wasn’t discussed beforehand. When they say no in front of that many people, they just want to get out of there.
I think in those cases they're women that hate being put in the spotlight like that. We don't like being the center of attention so having it forced on us is the absolute worst. I'd be the lady at the first baseball game that slapped him.
I was with my SO for 7.5yrs before proposing. I did it at a concert of our favorite band, with our best friend in tow. Before hand, I gave her a day of pampering, because she deserves it. Took her shopping for the outfit, got her hair and nails done, makeup, the works. We worked so hard for the lives we wanted and were both about to ship out to Army basic training after getting our degrees. She's a badass even after 22yrs and I can't imagine my life without her.
My mom has told me to never put this kind of pressure on a woman cause she will leave. And I always took it to heart and this compilation just prooves she was right
I am still crying. The proposal in front of the XOXO sign was the cutest, sweetest, funniest moment I have ever seen. Whenever I'm down I'm going to re-watch it. I wish them all the best in the future and please...film the wedding!!
Tbh if my partner did a surprise proposal in a very public place and we hadn’t been discussing marriage I’d be pissed. That’s way to much pressure for a complete surprise.
I worked with a woman whose boyfriend showed up at our work with a limousine, a wedding dress, and all of her makeup and overnight stuff packed to take her to get married. I mean, what wedding dress doesn't need to be fitted? Did he just buy it off the rack??? He organized time off for her from our boss. I could never marry a man who would do such a thing. That's a little bit of a control freak for me right there. But she seemed OK with it. They were in their 40's.
Yeah to answer Charlotte’s question, I think even if the one proposed to didn’t want to break up previously (just said no because wanted more time or something) they might consider it after such a stupid move
If someone says no, it doesn't always mean the relationship is over. It's a no to the engagement, but definitely requires a convo afterwards as to why and what needs to happen. Sometimes there's other reasons. For me, getting engaged publicly would be awful so technically would be a no to the audience observation and not to my would be fiance.
Idk... every proposal rejection I have ever seen never ends with the couple still being a couple. That's a huge rejection. That's like the mother of all rejections and I feel like that's the one that not matter how much talking is done afterwards, there's gonna be resentments, bruised egos, and so many more huge feelings that would be damn near impossible to come back from. The relationship would never be what it was before the rejection. And I think that is probably one of the bigger reasons the relationships are usually done after the rejection. U would have to be a very emotionally sound person to be able to bounce back from that and be ok to continue said relationship.
I don't know about that... That's usually a situation where the person being proposed to says, "Wow, this is a surprise. Can I think about it first?" rather than just a straight-out no. That way, the proposer isn't publicly embarrassed, and they can have the necessary conversation in private.
Me, it could definitely be this, but the other issue, at least as a Gen Z coming up, is that why would someone do a public engagement if that is obviously not in the cards? When I bring up my generation, I mean that, while the number is 1-63 or something, my personal experience has been that pretty much 90% of my peers in my age bracket (1995 to 2012) are ND in some way. And while you may think that it's trivial, or stupid, being a member of this group makes this important. As I stress many, MANY, *MANY* times online, NDs do not want to be cured. Even non-verbals. It's not in our interest, nor our best interest, if you actually asked us, talked to us, or did anything other than infantilize and treat us the same as you would the baby pandas being born overseas. And so one of the things, that hopefully we can look forward to if we are left the hell alone instead of being force-fed bleach and shit like we currently do, is having a relationship that keeps this in mind. And this is where I wrap around to the beginning. Me, I tended to give people the benefit of the doubt, and give them second chances. Not anymore. I've been abused enough, the world is burning, so I'm making my own path, as one should have from the beginning. So why would I give my partner another chance when it is a clear violation of my trust to do this? In my case, I am ASD, among other things. A public engagement wouldn't be just "embarrassing," it would be like dropping a fucking nuclear bomb on my head and expecting me to be happy about it. I can't respond to something like that with 500 people around; number one, it's a huge amount of news to process, so it puts a lot of stress on me already, but number two, as most Gen Z will attest to, I have been trained from the earliest possible age that if I don't make the proper social responses in public, despite it being a language that I know nothing of, that everyone is going to look at me like a fucking freak and an invalid, so now I have this huge amount of information to process, AND I have to come up with what is the right set of Konami code to make everyone around me think that I'm at least somewhat normal in this situation. If my partner did this, despite knowing this, I'd have to SERIOUSLY reconsider our level of mutual understanding in the relationship. And that is almost certainly a deal-breaker.
I know it’s not a proposal story, but I was the maid of honor at my twin sister’s wedding. Halfway through the ceremony, I realized that I did not have her ring to give to the pastor (who was also my grandfather). I turned red and started making anxious glances at my mom who couldn’t understand why I suddenly looked like a tomato. Then when he asked for the ring, I had to say, “I left it inside.” My mother was mortified, people were laughing, and my sister was shocked. She helped me find it inside after 10 minutes of searching, and the wedding went off without a hitch afterwards. I apologized profusely to my sister and brother in law but they both thought it was hilarious and that it helped break the anxiety of the moment. I’m forever grateful they found it amusing and didn’t kick me out of the family. They’re still happily married and I’m still the family weirdo.
I can't even begin to _imagine_ the pressure that those public proposals put on people, and there are times when the crowd reacts like they're the worst person on planet Earth for saying no despite knowing nothing about the circumstances. Good on them for saying no anyway.
If you get embarrassed in public with a 'no' then you deserve the embarrassment. If you planned to pressure them into a Yes then you honestly know you deserved to get dumped.
How we got engaged was perfect: we had a discussion about wanting to spend our lives together and thought a wedding the next summer would be perfect, then we went and picked out a ring together, and we went to the spot of our of our first dates for him to put it on my finger and for us to share with each other why we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. It was wonderful.
My SO and I had talked about what kind of proposal would be best for us. We both agreed that a such an intimate moment shouldn’t be a public event. We’re both pretty shy people but he originally felt pressured by friends/family to do it in public. Thankfully he ended up proposing on top of a mountain just the two of us and it was beautiful. Then the second biggest surprise was my parents walking up the trail five minutes later. I loved how much thought he put into it!
Yeah that is always so embarrassing. It's weird enough having all those people you know stare at you and sing at you, but then other people in the restaurant join in
Also did you notice everyone just glossed over the fact that the guy who proposed at In-N-Out said "This is where we met 6 months ago." Like, ummm excuse me???!!!! All the people there saying it was f'ed up and what not, must not have heard him. Who the hell proposes publicly like that after only dating 6 months???? Like I get people can move fast but you really need to have discussed this first after only 6 months!!! Calling her up on the loud speaker and everything.....that poor girl. She must've thought the dude was insane.
Anthony!!! That was hilarious and sweet and all I could think of was Lucille Bluth saying "Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant, it just makes me want to set myself on fire."
I actually like the last one of this video because Anthony is so dramatic and his mate understands that. I was laughing along with you. Public proposals are things that can be quite tough and so weird.
Rules of a proposing, 1. Make sure you both want to get married 2. Make sure they’re okay with a public way to ask, it’s so stressful and they may feel forced to say yes 3. Just don’t ask publicly,
Yeahhhh being on the same page is SO important. My ex starting ring shopping without even talking to me about whether I wanted to get married or not. I knew I was in no way ready for that and was pretty upset when I found out. We broke up six months later (and honestly I dodged a bullet)
Hey, I have to hand it to people who refuse a proposal. Most people probably say yes only because it was a public proposal. We do NOT love a public proposal.
@@fakecastiel1479 It's an intensely private matter between two people. Sometimes between two families as well. Strangers aren't needed at such a time. This ridiculous need for public approval for a private matter...If someone has already asked privately, and got a "yes", and wants to do a more public declaration later (as a surprise for family/friends), well enough. Otherwise it's people acting for the camera, and doesn't really mean much at all. Like fake pretending to be having a great time for a selfie.
The last one with the guys was it, lol that was everything. I was feeling kinda bad bout the rejections, then boom!! Leave it to Charlotte to end with me crying 🤣 laughing!!! Potato Queen!!!!
My fiance proposed publicly I guess, but in a respectful way. I told him I would be mortified by a huge public proposal even with family. So he took me on a wonderful waterfall excursion and proposed at the top of this mountain overlooking a beautiful view. We had just got done laughing at a silly groundhog that was walking around. There were people near around but nobody near us, and nobody paying us any mind. It was very peaceful and amazing. Idky people want everyone involved in such a private moment. If you do it feels attention seeking and/or manipulative in my mind but im biased because I have an aunt that does these things and she is the worst person.
This is exactly what I'm hoping for. A large crowd would be horrific, but my guy and I enjoying a beautiful hike with maybe a few other outdoors people in the distance is a perfect scenario. So happy that everything turned out well for you.
My Chris proposed to me at my favorite Orchard in one of their pumpkin patches. He waited for me to wander off on my own a little ways from my parents and 2 little sisters. He got down in 1 knee in the mud while it was raining. I said yes and we hugged. When we were done hugging a small group of strangers yelled congrats and cheered after we had our moment
Especially not if they haven't talked about getting married before. A public proposal can be good if the person that is getting proposed to doesn't mind being the center of attention, if they adapt the proposal custom in a way that they like (like at their favourite restaurant, or with their favourite flowers or wearing something in their favourite colour, etc.) and often with loved ones present to share the moment with you and not just a bunch of people you don't know.
My Husband and I semi-preplanned our engagement. We decided fairly early on together that we wanted to be married, and even picked out our rings together. But we're both still fairly "traditional" in that we like the "proper" proposal tradition and think it's romantic. So he kept the ring and planned the proposal himself. In the end it happened on the beach at the lake, at sunset, with no one else around ... Ironically we'd just gone out there to walk, but he'd taken to carrying the ring with him in case he found the perfect moment he couldn't plan- and that's EXACTLY what happened: I found- literally, I shit you not- a giant heart shaped rock the size of my head just barley poking out of the sand and pointed it out. Went to pick it up, and before I could he was already down there, knee on the rock and ring case open proposing. We still have the rock on our fireplace mantle to this day. I took that bitch home with me 🤣🤣🤣 We wound up getting married on the same beach a year and a month later, not too far off from where we found the rock 💜
Fun proposal story here: My mom and dad before they got engaged got into an agrument of some kind. My dad had thought that they had broken up and went on a family vacation out of the country. My mom thought they were getting married however and went and bought her own engagment ring. My dad was very suprised to say the least. They did get married and have been together for 22 years. If that's not love I don't know what is.
I was proposed to after SIX WEEKS after meeting each other. We were in Vegas and it was my fave holiday (independence day). We were at dinner at a Sicilian themed restaurant, which I loved because I’ve got Sicilian grandparents. They had a grand piano in the middle of the room. He wrote a song for me/about me and played and sang it in his native Spanish. He’s a bit tone deaf and I was so shy about it. At the end, in English, he sang, “Will you marry me, Stephanie?” They have me on video turning to look at him across the piano and saying, “WHAT.” He came around and got on one knee and proposed and everyone was clapping. He whispered in my ear if I would say yes. I never did, I just nodded. I was so freaked out and on the spot. I figured we would marry but we hadn’t talked about it (knowing each other six weeks…). I was stunned the whole evening. Everyone was so excited and I was quiet and zoning out. Then I was too embarrassed to back out. We have been married almost 7 years but that was so traumatic and never in my life did I realize how much I like being single! Haha. The ring was beautiful and all is well. But guys-give your girl a minute!
Y'all...this is why you discuss with your beloved what kind of wedding proposal they are in to, and more importantly, whether or not they want to get married! I am a diva so I 100% wanted a public proposal and my husband 100% proposed to me on NYE at a party. Actually, he challenged me to marriage and my response was "challenge accepted!" but you get the point. But some people are not attention-seeking divas like me and don't want to be proposed to in a public manner. Even if they want to marry you, they might feel pressured into saying yes and not appreciate being put under public scrutiny. So know your significant other, know what they want, and plan accordingly.
Working in a jewelry store, when we find out someone is proposing, we give them a list... No water, no forest, no hills, no food, no public, we've had so many men come in for a second ring from losing the first
I had a guy propose while we were driving, after a date at an expensive restaurant. I turned him down, he got angry and threw the ring out the window! I was 19 at the time, he was almost 40 and we were NOT in a serious relationship. After he did that, I never went out with him again and he stalked me for months. He left notes on my car, one note he was very angry and said I "nearly killed him" because he dodged traffic trying to find the ring that HE threw out the window! This guy had a Master's degree, and was VP for an electronics company. I guess no amount of education can undo bat-crap crazy. 😳
I can believe that. When the dude was proposing in that gondola I was like "you f!@#÷&% idiot" The food thing always bugged me too. Like even overlooking the things that can wrong on that one, what is even the payoff with that?
@@LazyIRanch 19 and 40? I mean, with all of things you've said about him he has proven himself a giant creep.. He's automatically sus with that age gap. You're probably a lovely person but at 30 I won't even look at someone below 25.. Never mind at 40. At your age you should be enjoying life, trying out new things and figuring out what types of people or relationships you'd like to have. Proposing to someone so young when being so old..gross and manipulative..in my opinion
As a literal minded introvert who hates surprises, I will NEVER propose in public. I legitimately don't understand why people do it when there's a even a remote chance they'll say no.
I think the thought out, intimate setting, with a few close ppl or even just the two of them,is such a great way to go. Public proposals imo just scream "hey look at us! Clapp and give us all the attention!" But those private setting proposals with candles and flowers and loveds ones only or just thee couple, they get me every time. It feels more meaningful and not just an attention grab from strangers in public.
I LOOOOOOOOVE that last one. Seen it many times. Feels like they are made for each other because of how unfazed he was by his partner walking away. He understands how dramatically his partner emotions can be and was letting him feel his emotions. ❤️❤️❤️
I think my favorite surprise proposal was Safiya and Tyler because it was at their special place, with a ring that type put thought into, and from what I understand they had DISCUSSED getting married and IT was a good surprise in that sense 😂 I really don’t like the proposals from some of these guys because I feel like they are just trying to manipulate their significant other and that is not ok.
Yeah, their proposal was sweet. Also everyone just glossed over the fact that the guy who proposed at In-N-Out said "This is where we met 6 months ago." Like, ummm excuse me? All the people saying it was f'ed up and what not, must not have heard him. Who the hell proposes publicly like that after only dating 6 months???? Like I get people can move fast but you really need to have discussed this first after only 6 months!!!
Aaww, so, the best proposal I've ever seen was that dude who got the artists to draw him into the end of Sleeping Beauty!!! Best proposal EVER!! She never saw it coming, lol!! And by the way, Charlotte, I love it when they edit your face on certain people, like that fisherman's, lmao, I'm dead!!! 😂🤣
The reason I hate public proposals is because there’s so much pressure to say yes and if you say no, somehow the girl ends up to be the bad guy. Also again, so many people around watching and chanting.
Literally nobody thinks the girl is a bad guy for saying know. Most people think the guy is dumb for making a public proposal without being 200% sure she'd say yes.
@@shekolacarrington9390 Honestly! Like literally in that basketball court proposal at 4:22, the whole crowd was cheering when he started proposing and then at 4:54 when she started to leave you could hear the crowd booing her, it's so messed up. Like these thousands of total strangers don't know what their relationship is like, and they don't know what's in her heart, and yet they boo her like she's some horrible person for not feeling the way he does. It's so wrong.
My niece's husband proposed to her on stage at a church program. I thought it was really special, but then later I realized that it could have gone wrong. She looked really surprised.
I never understood people proposing in public to someone that you aren't sure the answer will be yes to. I feel like that might be a bit of manipulation because you figure they won't say no in front of people.
Yeah I agree. The first one that was on a stage was especially bad cause, in what wasn’t shown earlier, if I remember correctly she was practically dragged onto/led by the hand (when she obviously didn’t want to be there) to the stage. Hate these kinds of things cause if you say no then you are the bad guy in public in front of people who have no business being in your relationship.
It works. Maybe not a yes long term. But in the moment many people would likely say yes. I can't say 100% since I have no experience but I think I would yes in the moment and then no as soon as we were not stupidly public. It's a manipulation even in that situation. Even if you *_say_** YES* to avoid public humiliation once you're off alone and tell him *NO* , he can use that in manipulating how you broke off the "oh so sweet" engagement for no reason. Manipulators will always find a way.
Some of my favorites are these proposal stories where the answer is 'yes' but there's a mishap. The way the couple is able to laugh at the mishap, and focus on being excited for this new step in their relationship together, I think it speaks well of the couple dynamic and their future.
I think the last one was the funniest. I mean I know a proposal is supposed to be a serious thing, so respect to anyone who proposes. It was the guys' reaction that kept making me laugh. I don't know why, but when he walked away with his hand up, it made me laugh so hard.
I know of someone who specifically didn't want a public proposal and her boyfriend did it anyway. She was pissed off. I always wonder the back stories behind these "no's" lol
Yep. It's a huge "I don't care if you're uncomfortable, as long as I look good" slap to the face, and she was so within her rights to be upset. Especially having previously discussed it. It was about him, not them, and it would be hard not to take it as an indication of how the marriage would go. Especially if he got pissed about her getting pissed for him doing something involving her that she explicitly stated *she did not want*! I've always gotta wonder how many of the yeses became nos in private.
I once saw someone get proposed to infront of a large crowd. The woman looked liked she wanted to be anywhere but there and quickly said yes and then BOLTED back to her chair. Poor thing. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!
how is that a test of love? why would anyone just suddenly stop loving someone or react super negativly when something unfortunate happens? like that kind of person never loved them and there were a million signgs of that way before the proposal then
Unless you have discussed getting engaged and both parties consent ahead of time, a big public proposal is an incredibly creepy and manipulative thing to do. GIANT RED FLAG
@@zuzukris4952 also, I would love you to tell this to my friend who got very publicly proposed to by someone she had only been seeing and few weeks and then got physically assaulted after she refused
@@ShuhPond A lot of people do this on purpose to push the other person to a yes. Or to make themselves a victim and play the victim card if they say no.
I hate being the center of attention in public like that- I would totally end the relationship if they did that to me... Some people just really don' want that attention or pressure in a public setting and its not romantic to everyone
I'm not sure if it'd end the relationship for me because I feel the same. I have told my bf that if he decides to that no one else can be around; aka private, because I hate being center of attention. So, I've told him if he asked in front of others, even just family.....especially just family, I'd say no. Hopefully I never find out because I feel like I'd feel really hurt as I've told him this before.
If i ever get married i dont want a church wedding for that exact reason. I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of everyone looking at me. I'm not exactly shy but I hate hate being the center of attention.
It always bugs me when people 'boo' or blame the one being proposed to in the scenarios where they say no. You never know what's going on behind closed doors.
Unless both parties made it 💯clear that it’s what they both wanted that quickly, he had no right. My husband and I got engaged a month after dating (we knew each other a bit longer than that), but we had talked about it in-depth and felt very confident in that choice. He didn’t assume I’d want to marry him just because we were having fun being together.
@@ambercloward6550You have a point there. There are marriages that actually work quite well after a few months of relationship, and marriages from a long term relationship that ended up in divorce, and of course vice versa. It just depends on how the couple work things out and how compatible they are. Congrats for your marriage!
gay proposals are so over the top dramatic 😂😂 I love them. I have these really pumpkin fruity friends and the most dramatic one of the two planned this entire hoopla of a proposal with balloons and banners and all. The one who was getting proposed didn't show up because he was planning for his proposal 😂😂😂 We called both of them and they both were at their set(separate) location. They both proposed on a video call from their locations 🤣🤣 Then we went to both the locations to again film the whole proposal. We witnessed three proposals between same two people. 😂
I've never understood why people don't discuss it with their SO BEFORE proposing. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married, so when he proposed I was surprised (he caught me off guard 😂) but he pretty much knew I would say yes.
My bf told me a few months into dating he wanted to spend his life with me and grow old together. I've told him I want to get married and he doesn't really care as long as we're together and it makes me happy. But we've also talked about it being in the future, when we both have a stable economy and have some savings. If he were to propose now I'd be pretty shocked tbh. We've been together for 3 years but I feel like now is not the time. I think that a lot of these fails are due to poor timing or poor choice of venue. You might wanna marry the person proposing but not at that stage in the relationship or you're uncomfortable with it being so public
I had to watch the basketball game proposal a couple of times. She turns him down and we hear the horn as if to confirm it. The best part is the mascot giving her the international gesture for "wtf?!" 😳😂😆
I told my husband no, in front of all our friends, we had been living together for 3yrs with all of our kids (from earlier marriages); he was drunk and I just couldn't handle him not meaning it in the morning (or not remembering), he asked again the next day (sober) and we've been married 11yrs
Friend of mine proposed to his gf on a bridge and being the klutzy lot that we all are, we made damn sure he fashioned a string to the box and the ring just incase. Lol
I'm an introvert too, and I hate surprises. I had a boyfriend show up at my house on a Friday night to take me away for the weekend. And I said a flat out "NO". I had a child and a pet, what was I supposed to do with them??? Sometimes people are just clueless. Needless to say, we quit dating.
I remember seeing a TikTok of a prank where the boyfriend would pretend to start to propose in public several times in one day and she was so done. It was all in good fun though.
I talked with my wife about the idea of getting married and she wasn't sure about it because she never saw herself getting married. She never proposed to me, but one day we were in the doctors office and they asked who I was as we were going back and she says "this is my wife."
A public proposal is my worst nightmare. I feel like they're purely for external validation (except if it's in front of family and friends). I'll say no purely from anxiety and the fact that you clearly don't know me well enough if you propose publicly.
The slap-at-the-game proposal...I'm thinking he accidentally called her his ex's name. Just the way her face went from happy to incredulous so quickly.
It always sits weird with me when people say "if you've talked to their family and friends about it". Like, no, talk to your partner. Theyre the one you're proposing to
well maybe they want it to be a suprise but want to check with the people who know your partner best to see if they are even interested or if its a good idea to propose. in the end the partener should have the final say.
@@missroyaltea4012 Then you have a discussion about marriage but don't tell them when youre actually going to do it? I've had that convo with my boyfriend. I'm not going to be proposing for probably years, but I know he wants to get married. You can make the proposal a surprise without having to guess if they even want to be
With all the screaming and back and forth it was hard to tell if the guy was saying yes or no. When he sat down way back form the camera I thought for sure it was a no. He just looked like he was done. So happy for them. 🤣😂😍🥰

I know a friend who’s proposal didn’t go exactly to plan but ended up really cute in the end.
He lit hundreds of candles in his tiny apartment and as soon as his now wife entered the apartment, he had a classical playlist on. He changed the playlist to a soundtrack one and when he got down on one knee, the Jurassic Park theme came on.
They celebrated by pretending to be dinosaurs around the apartment.
I love this so much! XD
That's so darn cute I can't stand it!!
This is awesome!
I hope they got really stoned before they ran around the apt.
That is true love right there!! ❤️❤️
"Anthony.... Anthony you have to come here" 😂 You know it's real love, he didn't seem at all surprised or concerned by Anthony's response, he knows him well and loves him.
Right? I was cracking up. It’s like his partner was expecting the reaction and wasn’t discouraged at all when he saw Anthony walked away and sit down.
Omg that was so funny but so cute too 🎉
This method of proposing has always struck me as manipulative. Unless you've already discussed it and agreed to get engaged.
Yes, very much so Yes! And then it gives people the space to comment on your relationship and sometimes it’s not really a ‘no’ but a ‘not yet’ or ‘I’m not ready’
Wait proposals are supposed to be a surprise
@@jessyncust76 not all the time. I think that’s a very western concept and depends on if you’re religious or not. I know where my mom is from marriage is discuss beforehand but also courtship is more the norm than dating. I guess it’s different for everyone but I think this surprise proposal thing is kind of new. Even my grandparents didn’t necessarily have a surprise proposal it was pre-determined that they were getting married and I guess it was more so a matter of when my grandfather would officially ask so the question of marriage wasn’t up in the air.
@@jessyncust76 No, they should not be. No discussion and agreement leads to being humiliated in front of lots of people.
@@jessyncust76 Proposals, yes. Whether or not the person would be open to the marriage itself? No, that should not be a surprise.
I love how with the last couple you can tell they know each other quite well because when the one "runs away" the other knows he's just being an emotional drama queen in the best way and doesn't get discouraged or worried that it's a no. Hella cute
the ever patient "Anthony.. Anthony.. Anthony!"
OMG they're so cuteeeeee!!!! He's so taken aback, that's adorable. I really needed a wholesome video after all the rejection, what a good note to end on!
I have no words for how adorable this couple is!!!
same lmao i was laughing so hard my eyes watered like "yep that would be me" hahaha i love them
For me it was the squaking like a bird 🤣 they’re funny and cute
The couple doing the "lost the ring" prank were precious. He's clearly already proposed to her, just the two of them, and they've decided to do an announcement/public proposal for the enjoyment of everyone else. _That_ is a good public proposal: one where you already know/said it's a yes and it's done for funsies
Yes! If they plan/discuss it ahead of time there’s no problem with that. Also the prank was so adorable haha
Hearing people boo over a declined proposal just makes me angry af. They have NO IDEA what's going on with those people. I had an abusive ex I hadn't mustered the courage to leave. After a particularly bad night with a fight and thrown things and a destroyed dresser, he proposed to me the next day in public in front of a bunch of people we knew. I was flustered and angry and scared and when I said no quietly, he stood up and screamed "Just joking!" and started laughing. The guys in these videos didn't try to play it off, but strangers expressing a group opinion over such an important decision is just ridiculous.
And honestly, that was probably just another way of him trying to control you
@@jessicahexhibits yup good point. How scary for Angie. @Angie M I’m glad he’s an ex
Glad you got out.
Yeah, these proposals remind me of an abusive relationship I was in as well. Well, I mean, he was in it…thinking I was, too. Although I had broken up with him, clearly, by saying, “We.Are. Over.” That was the final thing I said after tons of other less harsh things to break up…
When he asked me to marry him, I just asked him if he was smoking crack.
My wife had an ex that tried this stunt cuz their relationship was sliding downhill. (I proposed in private, BTW)
The last one is so freaking adorable. The fact that the one doing the proposing is so patient shows how well he knows his fiance. It was the 'anthony you have to come here' for me tbh. He let him have his whole range of emotions, knowing it would be a yes lol
That was so loud yet super cute and adorable.I would have cried
Yes, I loved that bit too
Yes I think so too!
It’s the pure happiness and surprise for me 😍
Anthony*
I loved that one. It was so cute and so very funny.
I think it's safe to say that we men should talk to our partner about the idea of marriage before actually making a BIG PUBLIC PROPOSAL, because this right here is embarrassing as hell.
Also, because society as whole is so sexist, the woman gets booed for saying no. Women don't owe men a yes because they propose to us... Especially if it's done in public
@@jessicahexhibits I believe in proposing to a woman in private. Amen.
@@jessicahexhibits Amen.
@@jessicahexhibits I agree, there's just so much pressure when it comes to Public proposals. I do understand that some people want to show how much a spouse means to them in that way but when it comes to making such a personal and life changing decision Infront of strangers... I agree with the choices/behaviors of some of the people.
@@faithalcindor2785 In my opinion; and I'm not disagreeing with yours just adding to, "showing how much their spouse means" includes knowing their comforts, discomforts, ideas on marriage, etc. Some people like public proposals, some like an extreme amount of creativity and thought go into it, and some people like to keep the moment between each other before sharing the news with everyone else.
I was single about 6 -7 years following a 10 year very abusive relationship. I had been dating him for about 2-3 years when he first proposed. I wasn’t ready to commit to anyone and wanted more time to be certain of who he was before saying yes. I explained that, he was hurt but understood. We continued dating, eventually saw other people for 6 months or so before getting back together. He proposed again and I said I loved him, couldn’t see myself with anyone else but still wasn’t quite there yet. Again he understood. A year later he gave me a big hint that he had something really special for me as a Xmas gift. It gave me about a month to seriously think about it. I realized I couldn’t say no a 3rd time and still keep him. After dating for 6.5 years he proposed Xmas Eve sitting around the Xmas tree right after he went to midnight Mass with myself, my 19 yr old son and 9 year yr old daughter. I said yes. The ring was gorgeous. I still had many doubts but I didn’t tell him that. We married the following August 20 years ago this coming August and he’s never put his hands on me in anger. We haven’t had every day as paradise but most of our marriage has been great, especially the past 10-12 years. But I’m grateful he allowed me the time to heal. Sometimes it’s not the wrong person just the wrong time.
This is a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. I love that you found happiness with someone after such a painful experience and that he also found you 🥰
@@natp3408 Very kind of you to say that.
love this, I am very happy for you and congratulating of finding a man emotional mature enough to take a no, hear you out and work it out instead of getting petty
Yes, this! 💯💯💯
My fiancé also waited for me to heal emotionally from trauma, you've got a damn good one! So happy you found someone like him!!
This is so beautiful. I’m at the beginning of your story, maybe I’ll find an end like yours too. Thanks for sharing.
You know the couple who got engaged after he fell out of the gondola will be telling that story for the rest of their lives. ❤️
And I definitely agree: DO NOT propose in public unless you've both discussed it beforehand.
P.S., Anthony and his fiance are adorable!
To the woman who had to listen to her boyfriend give a speech to the crowd about his intentions because he wanted everyone cheering for him, I'm so proud of you. Drop that narcissist.
im tied between that and the poor girl that got proposed to after SIX MONTHS at a fast food restaurant
PREACH
@@thebestfontever That guy was clearly in love with the *idea* of who his gf was as opposed to the actual woman, smh
@@LeonieJMerry Agree all for show..for me even in front of family is a big NO.. ask me privately
I sounded like she said "we talked about this", and if I heard that right that's an ever brighter red flag.
Anthony was adorable! Clearly his boyfriend knew how reacts and you could hear the smile in his voice as he was asking him to come back. Lol I was worried when he initially walked away but then he just sat with his emotions for a second. Too cute!
Omg I love how his partner is just like "Anthony!" lmao 😂
Anothony you need to come here 🤣
*Anothony shuffles back*
ADORABLE
I love Anthony so much
@@becci8099 Also Anthony: *screams like a happy little goat*
That one was so freaking adorable, how much Anthony freaked out, really a breath of fresh air after all the sour ones, way to end on a good note! It definitely was the cutest thing I've seen all day!
I saw a case where the guy made a public proposal and she said no and left angry, the video went viral and people where bashing her, even harassing her, then it came out that she had found out he was cheating and broken up, he convince her to go out so they could talk and that's when the proposal happened. So we never know whats behind the videos.
Wow that’s absolutely insane. That poor girl. Ya I really always side with the one proposed to. Putting someone on the spot is gross.
Oh wow! What a jerk😡
This kind of happened with my daughter. The man wasn't cheating, he just wasn't her soulmate. She had broken up with him and He wanted to have a final dinner as a sort of final goodbye. She went but didn't want to. In the middle of dinner, he got onto one knee and proposed with a ring. She hugged him and said in his ear, "I'm going to hug you and act happy to save you from embarrassment in this restaurant, but fuck you and your manipulation." Good for her.
It’s okay for someone to say no to a proposal for any reason. Isn’t it sad that as a society (I’m not specifically referring to anyone in this comment section) we get mad at people who say no, even though it is a perfectly valid response? 😕 it takes being cheated on for people to be sympathetic towards the person rejecting the man proposing to them?
Toxic assholes in a nutshell. Wouldn't surprise me if he had some influence over how the story got told.
I am absolutely terrified of public proposals. If someone did this to me I’d probably freeze up and just cry or run away they give me way too much anxiety
I absolutely NEVER wanted a public proposal and and specifically NEVER a proposal in a restaurant. It's funny because I was proposed to in a public restaurant on a cruise ship. Things don't always go how you dreamed them to, but at least I said yes to my dream man.
I fucking love Anthony and his future husband, hope they live happily ever after. I can imagine the wedding when they ask Anthony, will you marry this man 😂 "eeeAAAAGHHHH" *runs around church etc. crying and screaming*
I swear. Im crying 🤣 I want their wedding video! Let us see it!!!!! Hahaha too cute
*LMFAO*
I love Anthony 💛 and his man that accepts him and all the drama he brings to the table. I hope they are well.
When discussing marriage with my partner I basically said, “if you propose in public I will say no out of spite.” Haha we agreed to elope if we ever did tie the knot
I am the EXACT same
Absolutely!!
I told my husband that I'd NEVER want a public proposal because of my anxiety. He agreed cause he doesnt like them either. His proposal was sweet n personal n thats what it should b
I said I would say no for two reason, if they asked in public or if they asked my dad's permission first.
I told him I'd run and pretend I didn't know him 🤣
Best to talk to your SO about marriage before asking the question and best not to do it in a public place if your 100% sure they will say yes
Your SO?
Amen.
@@jamesfracasse8178 significant other ...S.O.
Best advice ever....lol
You can talk about it and the woman can still say no. That means nothing.
I can't help but wonder if some of these guys were on tenuous ground in the relationship, and did a public proposal in the hopes of pressuring the girl to say "yes". My wife of almost 45 years and I talked about it, got the blessing of our parents and had even picked out a ring set before anything public, but we both KNEW we were going to spend our lives together.
Moral: be on the same page, folks! A proposal shouldn't be a shock nor a "bad" thing for the girl!
Honestly, that's exactly why several (though not all) public proposals happen, to pressure the significant other into saying yes.
And it shouldn't be a public spectacle...
Anthony was adorable and clearly future hubby knows him well cuz the patience shown here is very sweetly telling.
I feel so bad for the women that run. I think most of the time, it’s not the person they’re running from but the situation over all. It’s so common for the women to get booed or yelled at with the arena/sports proposals. That’s a lot of pressure to say yes and I would absolutely call it manipulative if it wasn’t discussed beforehand. When they say no in front of that many people, they just want to get out of there.
I think in those cases they're women that hate being put in the spotlight like that. We don't like being the center of attention so having it forced on us is the absolute worst. I'd be the lady at the first baseball game that slapped him.
It is done for the vainglory, not for the right reasons
I have NEVER laughed as much as I did at Anthony’s reaction. My face is wet from the tears!! Couldn’t breathe!
Anthony is SOOO EXTRA!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But he had me nervous🤦🏽♀️. Glad his mate knows him well😁🥰
Same I was so like oh my gosh nooooo then it turned around 😂 we love the dramatic flare.
@@osteophagus YASSSSSSSS!!!😁
Best proposal in like ever
I was with my SO for 7.5yrs before proposing. I did it at a concert of our favorite band, with our best friend in tow. Before hand, I gave her a day of pampering, because she deserves it. Took her shopping for the outfit, got her hair and nails done, makeup, the works. We worked so hard for the lives we wanted and were both about to ship out to Army basic training after getting our degrees. She's a badass even after 22yrs and I can't imagine my life without her.
My mom has told me to never put this kind of pressure on a woman cause she will leave. And I always took it to heart and this compilation just prooves she was right
I LOVE the backward walk from "the wrong girl" on stage. That was more entertaining than the actual proposal. LOL
I am still crying. The proposal in front of the XOXO sign was the cutest, sweetest, funniest moment I have ever seen. Whenever I'm down I'm going to re-watch it. I wish them all the best in the future and please...film the wedding!!
I swear! Anthony gives me life!! 😂 🥰🥰🥰
I was laugh-crying at it! I knew it was a yes right away!
The little penguin walk from being so giddy about it got yo me 🥺
Way too adorable!!!
Tbh if my partner did a surprise proposal in a very public place and we hadn’t been discussing marriage I’d be pissed. That’s way to much pressure for a complete surprise.
I worked with a woman whose boyfriend showed up at our work with a limousine, a wedding dress, and all of her makeup and overnight stuff packed to take her to get married. I mean, what wedding dress doesn't need to be fitted? Did he just buy it off the rack??? He organized time off for her from our boss. I could never marry a man who would do such a thing. That's a little bit of a control freak for me right there. But she seemed OK with it. They were in their 40's.
@ChelleJ that sounds terrifying
@@chellejack3480 WTF??? I’d be getting restraining order, holy shit
Yeah to answer Charlotte’s question, I think even if the one proposed to didn’t want to break up previously (just said no because wanted more time or something) they might consider it after such a stupid move
If someone says no, it doesn't always mean the relationship is over. It's a no to the engagement, but definitely requires a convo afterwards as to why and what needs to happen. Sometimes there's other reasons. For me, getting engaged publicly would be awful so technically would be a no to the audience observation and not to my would be fiance.
Idk... every proposal rejection I have ever seen never ends with the couple still being a couple. That's a huge rejection. That's like the mother of all rejections and I feel like that's the one that not matter how much talking is done afterwards, there's gonna be resentments, bruised egos, and so many more huge feelings that would be damn near impossible to come back from. The relationship would never be what it was before the rejection. And I think that is probably one of the bigger reasons the relationships are usually done after the rejection. U would have to be a very emotionally sound person to be able to bounce back from that and be ok to continue said relationship.
I don't know about that... That's usually a situation where the person being proposed to says, "Wow, this is a surprise. Can I think about it first?" rather than just a straight-out no. That way, the proposer isn't publicly embarrassed, and they can have the necessary conversation in private.
Me, it could definitely be this, but the other issue, at least as a Gen Z coming up, is that why would someone do a public engagement if that is obviously not in the cards?
When I bring up my generation, I mean that, while the number is 1-63 or something, my personal experience has been that pretty much 90% of my peers in my age bracket (1995 to 2012) are ND in some way. And while you may think that it's trivial, or stupid, being a member of this group makes this important.
As I stress many, MANY, *MANY* times online, NDs do not want to be cured. Even non-verbals. It's not in our interest, nor our best interest, if you actually asked us, talked to us, or did anything other than infantilize and treat us the same as you would the baby pandas being born overseas.
And so one of the things, that hopefully we can look forward to if we are left the hell alone instead of being force-fed bleach and shit like we currently do, is having a relationship that keeps this in mind.
And this is where I wrap around to the beginning. Me, I tended to give people the benefit of the doubt, and give them second chances. Not anymore. I've been abused enough, the world is burning, so I'm making my own path, as one should have from the beginning. So why would I give my partner another chance when it is a clear violation of my trust to do this?
In my case, I am ASD, among other things. A public engagement wouldn't be just "embarrassing," it would be like dropping a fucking nuclear bomb on my head and expecting me to be happy about it. I can't respond to something like that with 500 people around; number one, it's a huge amount of news to process, so it puts a lot of stress on me already, but number two, as most Gen Z will attest to, I have been trained from the earliest possible age that if I don't make the proper social responses in public, despite it being a language that I know nothing of, that everyone is going to look at me like a fucking freak and an invalid, so now I have this huge amount of information to process, AND I have to come up with what is the right set of Konami code to make everyone around me think that I'm at least somewhat normal in this situation.
If my partner did this, despite knowing this, I'd have to SERIOUSLY reconsider our level of mutual understanding in the relationship. And that is almost certainly a deal-breaker.
I know it’s not a proposal story, but I was the maid of honor at my twin sister’s wedding. Halfway through the ceremony, I realized that I did not have her ring to give to the pastor (who was also my grandfather). I turned red and started making anxious glances at my mom who couldn’t understand why I suddenly looked like a tomato. Then when he asked for the ring, I had to say, “I left it inside.” My mother was mortified, people were laughing, and my sister was shocked. She helped me find it inside after 10 minutes of searching, and the wedding went off without a hitch afterwards. I apologized profusely to my sister and brother in law but they both thought it was hilarious and that it helped break the anxiety of the moment. I’m forever grateful they found it amusing and didn’t kick me out of the family. They’re still happily married and I’m still the family weirdo.
I can't even begin to _imagine_ the pressure that those public proposals put on people, and there are times when the crowd reacts like they're the worst person on planet Earth for saying no despite knowing nothing about the circumstances. Good on them for saying no anyway.
Obsessed with Anthony and his dinosaur screeches over his boyfriend's proposal.
100% me too! I love them! it was sooooo cute and his joy honestly got me tearing up a little bit.
Who are these people? I need to follow them! That was great!
Me too, so cute!
Yeeessss. Hundo P me if I'm ever proposed to. The whole world's gonna hear me scream cry..
And then when he cutely strolled back. Omg the whole proposal made my day ☺️💖💜
If you get embarrassed in public with a 'no' then you deserve the embarrassment. If you planned to pressure them into a Yes then you honestly know you deserved to get dumped.
The last proposal with Anthony has me SCREAMING!!! Congrats to this adorable couple.
How we got engaged was perfect: we had a discussion about wanting to spend our lives together and thought a wedding the next summer would be perfect, then we went and picked out a ring together, and we went to the spot of our of our first dates for him to put it on my finger and for us to share with each other why we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. It was wonderful.
That sounds so gorgeous and meaningful! Love that for you!!💖
Same!!
My SO and I had talked about what kind of proposal would be best for us. We both agreed that a such an intimate moment shouldn’t be a public event. We’re both pretty shy people but he originally felt pressured by friends/family to do it in public. Thankfully he ended up proposing on top of a mountain just the two of us and it was beautiful. Then the second biggest surprise was my parents walking up the trail five minutes later. I loved how much thought he put into it!
Anthony's screams were sooo dramatic and extra. I love it 😂🤣
I can't even stand people singing Happy Birthday to me at restaurants, I can't imagine being proposed to like this.
Same
Yeah that is always so embarrassing. It's weird enough having all those people you know stare at you and sing at you, but then other people in the restaurant join in
l i t e r a l l y
Also did you notice everyone just glossed over the fact that the guy who proposed at In-N-Out said "This is where we met 6 months ago." Like, ummm excuse me???!!!! All the people there saying it was f'ed up and what not, must not have heard him. Who the hell proposes publicly like that after only dating 6 months???? Like I get people can move fast but you really need to have discussed this first after only 6 months!!! Calling her up on the loud speaker and everything.....that poor girl. She must've thought the dude was insane.
Anthony!!! That was hilarious and sweet and all I could think of was Lucille Bluth saying "Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant, it just makes me want to set myself on fire."
Omg the last couple, Anthony’s energy was everything ❤️🙌🏼
I love Anthony. Anthony is precious.
Also you rly made me laugh with that "And I already seen myself in the mirror today" :D
I actually like the last one of this video because Anthony is so dramatic and his mate understands that. I was laughing along with you. Public proposals are things that can be quite tough and so weird.
Rules of a proposing,
1. Make sure you both want to get married
2. Make sure they’re okay with a public way to ask, it’s so stressful and they may feel forced to say yes
3. Just don’t ask publicly,
My inner introvert is agreeing but i know many narcissistic people who love to be a center of attention
Exactly. Why? I don't understand why they have to do it in public.
Yea and make sure to have the kids talk too yanno
@@rheaobinque1101 Maybe in hopes of forcing a "yes" or to show off how hot their girlfriend is. Always a bad, bad idea.
Yeahhhh being on the same page is SO important. My ex starting ring shopping without even talking to me about whether I wanted to get married or not. I knew I was in no way ready for that and was pretty upset when I found out. We broke up six months later (and honestly I dodged a bullet)
Hey, I have to hand it to people who refuse a proposal. Most people probably say yes only because it was a public proposal. We do NOT love a public proposal.
I do
Don't propose this way unless you are ready to be publicly ridiculed and humiliated.
We do though, as long as it was talked about beforehand 😊
@@fakecastiel1479 It's an intensely private matter between two people. Sometimes between two families as well. Strangers aren't needed at such a time. This ridiculous need for public approval for a private matter...If someone has already asked privately, and got a "yes", and wants to do a more public declaration later (as a surprise for family/friends), well enough. Otherwise it's people acting for the camera, and doesn't really mean much at all. Like fake pretending to be having a great time for a selfie.
that part
The last one with the guys was it, lol that was everything. I was feeling kinda bad bout the rejections, then boom!! Leave it to Charlotte to end with me crying 🤣 laughing!!! Potato Queen!!!!
Anthony's excitement is what we love to see! So cute! Wishing them all the happiness.
My fiance proposed publicly I guess, but in a respectful way. I told him I would be mortified by a huge public proposal even with family. So he took me on a wonderful waterfall excursion and proposed at the top of this mountain overlooking a beautiful view. We had just got done laughing at a silly groundhog that was walking around. There were people near around but nobody near us, and nobody paying us any mind. It was very peaceful and amazing. Idky people want everyone involved in such a private moment. If you do it feels attention seeking and/or manipulative in my mind but im biased because I have an aunt that does these things and she is the worst person.
That's so sweet! Wishing you both the happiest life
This is exactly what I'm hoping for. A large crowd would be horrific, but my guy and I enjoying a beautiful hike with maybe a few other outdoors people in the distance is a perfect scenario. So happy that everything turned out well for you.
My Chris proposed to me at my favorite Orchard in one of their pumpkin patches. He waited for me to wander off on my own a little ways from my parents and 2 little sisters. He got down in 1 knee in the mud while it was raining. I said yes and we hugged. When we were done hugging a small group of strangers yelled congrats and cheered after we had our moment
Agree!!
Yes, big moment but intimate... love this!!
The last one went absolutely right 🤣🤣 I went through the whirlwind of emotions along with the kneeling guy🤣🤣🤌
I was confused at first but when he started to jump like a kid...🤣 yeah, he's gonna say Yes 👏👏👏
Hot take...9/10 women don't love super public wedding proposals, despite what romcoms tell you!
Especially not if they haven't talked about getting married before.
A public proposal can be good if the person that is getting proposed to doesn't mind being the center of attention, if they adapt the proposal custom in a way that they like (like at their favourite restaurant, or with their favourite flowers or wearing something in their favourite colour, etc.) and often with loved ones present to share the moment with you and not just a bunch of people you don't know.
I guess I'm that 10%
Like yes, I'd feel giddy watching a public proposal in a romcom. But hell, I'd hate being proposed to in public. 😬
I would find it embarrassing personally
@@Lucky-ei6yh I already feel anxious just imagining being proposed to in a large crowd. 🙈
My Husband and I semi-preplanned our engagement. We decided fairly early on together that we wanted to be married, and even picked out our rings together. But we're both still fairly "traditional" in that we like the "proper" proposal tradition and think it's romantic. So he kept the ring and planned the proposal himself. In the end it happened on the beach at the lake, at sunset, with no one else around ... Ironically we'd just gone out there to walk, but he'd taken to carrying the ring with him in case he found the perfect moment he couldn't plan- and that's EXACTLY what happened: I found- literally, I shit you not- a giant heart shaped rock the size of my head just barley poking out of the sand and pointed it out. Went to pick it up, and before I could he was already down there, knee on the rock and ring case open proposing.
We still have the rock on our fireplace mantle to this day. I took that bitch home with me 🤣🤣🤣 We wound up getting married on the same beach a year and a month later, not too far off from where we found the rock 💜
Fun proposal story here:
My mom and dad before they got engaged got into an agrument of some kind. My dad had thought that they had broken up and went on a family vacation out of the country. My mom thought they were getting married however and went and bought her own engagment ring. My dad was very suprised to say the least. They did get married and have been together for 22 years. If that's not love I don't know what is.
this sounds wild and very funny though I can not imagine how that piece of miscommunication happened
@@SingingSealRianaBecause his moms name is Helen Keller.
I was proposed to after SIX WEEKS after meeting each other. We were in Vegas and it was my fave holiday (independence day). We were at dinner at a Sicilian themed restaurant, which I loved because I’ve got Sicilian grandparents. They had a grand piano in the middle of the room. He wrote a song for me/about me and played and sang it in his native Spanish. He’s a bit tone deaf and I was so shy about it. At the end, in English, he sang, “Will you marry me, Stephanie?” They have me on video turning to look at him across the piano and saying, “WHAT.” He came around and got on one knee and proposed and everyone was clapping. He whispered in my ear if I would say yes. I never did, I just nodded. I was so freaked out and on the spot. I figured we would marry but we hadn’t talked about it (knowing each other six weeks…). I was stunned the whole evening. Everyone was so excited and I was quiet and zoning out. Then I was too embarrassed to back out. We have been married almost 7 years but that was so traumatic and never in my life did I realize how much I like being single! Haha. The ring was beautiful and all is well. But guys-give your girl a minute!
So u r happy or regret it lol i cant tell lol
@@BisexualBeauty She happily regrets it :P
@@shannonbrice8012 More like she's regrettably happy 😅
It's been seven years and she is still shocked from the proposal. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.
All of you hit the nail on the head. 😂
Y'all...this is why you discuss with your beloved what kind of wedding proposal they are in to, and more importantly, whether or not they want to get married! I am a diva so I 100% wanted a public proposal and my husband 100% proposed to me on NYE at a party. Actually, he challenged me to marriage and my response was "challenge accepted!" but you get the point. But some people are not attention-seeking divas like me and don't want to be proposed to in a public manner. Even if they want to marry you, they might feel pressured into saying yes and not appreciate being put under public scrutiny. So know your significant other, know what they want, and plan accordingly.
The 2 guys at the end has to be the best proposal I've ever seen. I'm loving the over dramatic reaction 🤣
That last one brought tears to my eyes and made me laugh so hard, it was so sweet.
The last one was so deliciously drama queenish, I loved it so much. 🤣🙋🏼♀️🥳
Working in a jewelry store, when we find out someone is proposing, we give them a list... No water, no forest, no hills, no food, no public, we've had so many men come in for a second ring from losing the first
That’s a good idea. You can get insurance right?
I had a guy propose while we were driving, after a date at an expensive restaurant. I turned him down, he got angry and threw the ring out the window! I was 19 at the time, he was almost 40 and we were NOT in a serious relationship.
After he did that, I never went out with him again and he stalked me for months. He left notes on my car, one note he was very angry and said I "nearly killed him" because he dodged traffic trying to find the ring that HE threw out the window!
This guy had a Master's degree, and was VP for an electronics company. I guess no amount of education can undo bat-crap crazy. 😳
I can believe that. When the dude was proposing in that gondola I was like "you f!@#÷&% idiot"
The food thing always bugged me too. Like even overlooking the things that can wrong on that one, what is even the payoff with that?
I wondered about people who are already nervous, and lose a tiny ring. That list is an excellent idea.
@@LazyIRanch 19 and 40? I mean, with all of things you've said about him he has proven himself a giant creep.. He's automatically sus with that age gap. You're probably a lovely person but at 30 I won't even look at someone below 25.. Never mind at 40. At your age you should be enjoying life, trying out new things and figuring out what types of people or relationships you'd like to have. Proposing to someone so young when being so old..gross and manipulative..in my opinion
As a literal minded introvert who hates surprises, I will NEVER propose in public. I legitimately don't understand why people do it when there's a even a remote chance they'll say no.
As an introvert, I would have hated being proposed TO in public! Thankfully my husband is an introvert, too. :-)
I am an extrovert and would never do this to my introverted partner.
I think the thought out, intimate setting, with a few close ppl or even just the two of them,is such a great way to go. Public proposals imo just scream "hey look at us! Clapp and give us all the attention!" But those private setting proposals with candles and flowers and loveds ones only or just thee couple, they get me every time. It feels more meaningful and not just an attention grab from strangers in public.
I LOOOOOOOOVE that last one. Seen it many times. Feels like they are made for each other because of how unfazed he was by his partner walking away. He understands how dramatically his partner emotions can be and was letting him feel his emotions.
❤️❤️❤️
I think my favorite surprise proposal was Safiya and Tyler because it was at their special place, with a ring that type put thought into, and from what I understand they had DISCUSSED getting married and IT was a good surprise in that sense 😂
I really don’t like the proposals from some of these guys because I feel like they are just trying to manipulate their significant other and that is not ok.
Yeah, their proposal was sweet. Also everyone just glossed over the fact that the guy who proposed at In-N-Out said "This is where we met 6 months ago." Like, ummm excuse me? All the people saying it was f'ed up and what not, must not have heard him. Who the hell proposes publicly like that after only dating 6 months???? Like I get people can move fast but you really need to have discussed this first after only 6 months!!!
Aaww, so, the best proposal I've ever seen was that dude who got the artists to draw him into the end of Sleeping Beauty!!! Best proposal EVER!! She never saw it coming, lol!! And by the way, Charlotte, I love it when they edit your face on certain people, like that fisherman's, lmao, I'm dead!!! 😂🤣
The reason I hate public proposals is because there’s so much pressure to say yes and if you say no, somehow the girl ends up to be the bad guy. Also again, so many people around watching and chanting.
Literally nobody thinks the girl is a bad guy for saying know. Most people think the guy is dumb for making a public proposal without being 200% sure she'd say yes.
@@shekolacarrington9390 Honestly! Like literally in that basketball court proposal at 4:22, the whole crowd was cheering when he started proposing and then at 4:54 when she started to leave you could hear the crowd booing her, it's so messed up. Like these thousands of total strangers don't know what their relationship is like, and they don't know what's in her heart, and yet they boo her like she's some horrible person for not feeling the way he does. It's so wrong.
@@shekolacarrington9390 Is this a personal experience of yours?
@@cinzabeary5226 It literally happened several times in the video.
@@MonteKristof men, stop commenting on experiences that only women go thru and you have no idea how it actually is, challenge impossible
13:36 you just know he's the EXTRA DRAMATIC one in that relationship and 🗣️I LOVE LOVE IT 💙💙
What a way to end it 😂 I’m not very into weddings/proposals personally, but that made my day
It was the screams for me. 🤣
My niece's husband proposed to her on stage at a church program. I thought it was really special, but then later I realized that it could have gone wrong. She looked really surprised.
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Poor little Tink Tink
I never understood people proposing in public to someone that you aren't sure the answer will be yes to. I feel like that might be a bit of manipulation because you figure they won't say no in front of people.
That's absolutely what it is.
Yeah I agree. The first one that was on a stage was especially bad cause, in what wasn’t shown earlier, if I remember correctly she was practically dragged onto/led by the hand (when she obviously didn’t want to be there) to the stage. Hate these kinds of things cause if you say no then you are the bad guy in public in front of people who have no business being in your relationship.
It absolutely is.
It works. Maybe not a yes long term. But in the moment many people would likely say yes.
I can't say 100% since I have no experience but I think I would yes in the moment and then no as soon as we were not stupidly public.
It's a manipulation even in that situation. Even if you *_say_** YES* to avoid public humiliation once you're off alone and tell him *NO* , he can use that in manipulating how you broke off the "oh so sweet" engagement for no reason.
Manipulators will always find a way.
Some of my favorites are these proposal stories where the answer is 'yes' but there's a mishap. The way the couple is able to laugh at the mishap, and focus on being excited for this new step in their relationship together, I think it speaks well of the couple dynamic and their future.
I think the last one was the funniest. I mean I know a proposal is supposed to be a serious thing, so respect to anyone who proposes. It was the guys' reaction that kept making me laugh. I don't know why, but when he walked away with his hand up, it made me laugh so hard.
You're reflection!!!! Hahaha..the cutest!!!! Love it!!!
The last video tho...was the best one yet by far!!
🤣🤣🤣 that last one, PRICELESS, i almost peed myself... It wasn't a yes, it was a EGHHHH!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I know of someone who specifically didn't want a public proposal and her boyfriend did it anyway. She was pissed off. I always wonder the back stories behind these "no's" lol
Yep. It's a huge "I don't care if you're uncomfortable, as long as I look good" slap to the face, and she was so within her rights to be upset. Especially having previously discussed it. It was about him, not them, and it would be hard not to take it as an indication of how the marriage would go. Especially if he got pissed about her getting pissed for him doing something involving her that she explicitly stated *she did not want*!
I've always gotta wonder how many of the yeses became nos in private.
I once saw someone get proposed to infront of a large crowd. The woman looked liked she wanted to be anywhere but there and quickly said yes and then BOLTED back to her chair. Poor thing. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE!
This video should be titled "When a narcissist proposes to an introvert". I loathe public proposals. Except Anthony. I love Anthony.
Seriously. By the end I felt like I was going to 🤮 from the uncomfortableness
Or like- just an extrovert proposing to an introvert 🙄
Also, We stan Anthony🤗
I also liked the couple in the gondola
I am very dramatic and I hope to re-create Anthony’s reaction someday 😂😍🥰 that was beautiful!
That last one almost ended my life! 🤣🤣🤣🤣Poor baby just couldn’t wrap hi head around the moment! LOVE IT!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The true test of love is the “yes” after the proposal screw up. Also adds to an entertaining engagement story.
how is that a test of love? why would anyone just suddenly stop loving someone or react super negativly when something unfortunate happens? like that kind of person never loved them and there were a million signgs of that way before the proposal then
Unless you have discussed getting engaged and both parties consent ahead of time, a big public proposal is an incredibly creepy and manipulative thing to do. GIANT RED FLAG
@@zuzukris4952 and all of these proposals you’re referring to, NONE of these couples discussed the possibility of getting married beforehand? Wow.
@@zuzukris4952 also, I would love you to tell this to my friend who got very publicly proposed to by someone she had only been seeing and few weeks and then got physically assaulted after she refused
@@ShuhPond A lot of people do this on purpose to push the other person to a yes. Or to make themselves a victim and play the victim card if they say no.
@@Arlenemusume yes, I know
No it isn't
I hate being the center of attention in public like that- I would totally end the relationship if they did that to me... Some people just really don' want that attention or pressure in a public setting and its not romantic to everyone
me too. i hate being put on display like that. and i hate surprizes. all of them
I'm not sure if it'd end the relationship for me because I feel the same. I have told my bf that if he decides to that no one else can be around; aka private, because I hate being center of attention. So, I've told him if he asked in front of others, even just family.....especially just family, I'd say no. Hopefully I never find out because I feel like I'd feel really hurt as I've told him this before.
If i ever get married i dont want a church wedding for that exact reason. I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure of everyone looking at me. I'm not exactly shy but I hate hate being the center of attention.
I feel that if someone proposes me in public they don't know me at all, so I shouldn't say yes anyway.
@@agarcamila This exactly!
The last one had me laughing and crying! I want that reaction to a proposal!
I just couldn't get passed "Anthony"!! Loved it sooo much, I had to watch it again.
It always bugs me when people 'boo' or blame the one being proposed to in the scenarios where they say no. You never know what's going on behind closed doors.
SIX MONTHS and my dude pops the question in a fast food joint. That was never going to be a 'yes.'
I was thinking the same thing. Six months in In-N-Out? I love the burgers, but pleez.
@@BritInvLvrThe place isn't that bad, but six months? Hell no...
Unless both parties made it 💯clear that it’s what they both wanted that quickly, he had no right. My husband and I got engaged a month after dating (we knew each other a bit longer than that), but we had talked about it in-depth and felt very confident in that choice. He didn’t assume I’d want to marry him just because we were having fun being together.
@@ambercloward6550You have a point there. There are marriages that actually work quite well after a few months of relationship, and marriages from a long term relationship that ended up in divorce, and of course vice versa. It just depends on how the couple work things out and how compatible they are. Congrats for your marriage!
To his credit, he begins with saying that was the place where they met. So it could be perceived as cute.
gay proposals are so over the top dramatic 😂😂 I love them. I have these really pumpkin fruity friends and the most dramatic one of the two planned this entire hoopla of a proposal with balloons and banners and all. The one who was getting proposed didn't show up because he was planning for his proposal 😂😂😂
We called both of them and they both were at their set(separate) location. They both proposed on a video call from their locations 🤣🤣
Then we went to both the locations to again film the whole proposal. We witnessed three proposals between same two people.
😂
Ist sound like this one episode of modern family
@@tinajust4919 haven't seen modern family. No idea.
@@tinajust4919 It's a common-ish event in the queer community (I mean with both planning to propose at the same time).
OMG!!! THE 2 MEN THAT GOT ENGAGED WERE HILARIOUS!!!! SURELY THEY WILL ENJOY THAT VIDEO FOR YEARS TO COME!❤❤❤
I couldn't... Just couldn't take in the laughter 😁🤣😂😂😂😂.. The last one😁😂😂😂🤣🤣.. Made my day🥰
I've never understood why people don't discuss it with their SO BEFORE proposing. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married, so when he proposed I was surprised (he caught me off guard 😂) but he pretty much knew I would say yes.
Exactly. The only surprise should be when it’ll happen not if.
My bf told me a few months into dating he wanted to spend his life with me and grow old together. I've told him I want to get married and he doesn't really care as long as we're together and it makes me happy. But we've also talked about it being in the future, when we both have a stable economy and have some savings. If he were to propose now I'd be pretty shocked tbh. We've been together for 3 years but I feel like now is not the time.
I think that a lot of these fails are due to poor timing or poor choice of venue. You might wanna marry the person proposing but not at that stage in the relationship or you're uncomfortable with it being so public
Charlotte's editing team doesn't get enough recognition 😭😭😭
We love them cuz they absolutely cherish it every. single. time!
I had to watch the basketball game proposal a couple of times. She turns him down and we hear the horn as if to confirm it. The best part is the mascot giving her the international gesture for "wtf?!" 😳😂😆
The last couple is EVERYTHING!! Totally makes up for the rejections. ❤❤❤❤
That last one though! Guy got on his knees too. 😂 And his boyfriend was like, "you're supposed to stand up." 😂
I told my husband no, in front of all our friends, we had been living together for 3yrs with all of our kids (from earlier marriages); he was drunk and I just couldn't handle him not meaning it in the morning (or not remembering), he asked again the next day (sober) and we've been married 11yrs
Friend of mine proposed to his gf on a bridge and being the klutzy lot that we all are, we made damn sure he fashioned a string to the box and the ring just incase. Lol
That’s smart!
I am overwhelmingly introverted. If my partner even thought about proposing publicly then he sure as fuck doesn’t know me well enough to be asking.
I'm an introvert too, and I hate surprises. I had a boyfriend show up at my house on a Friday night to take me away for the weekend. And I said a flat out "NO". I had a child and a pet, what was I supposed to do with them??? Sometimes people are just clueless. Needless to say, we quit dating.
Same!
@Katie Biggs Spot-on. The response is "WTF, have you MET me???"
I remember seeing a TikTok of a prank where the boyfriend would pretend to start to propose in public several times in one day and she was so done. It was all in good fun though.
I talked with my wife about the idea of getting married and she wasn't sure about it because she never saw herself getting married.
She never proposed to me, but one day we were in the doctors office and they asked who I was as we were going back and she says "this is my wife."
❤
Awe
Omg that last couple was so cute. The guy asking must have freaked out for a moment when he walked away. Glad he came back and said yes
A public proposal is my worst nightmare. I feel like they're purely for external validation (except if it's in front of family and friends). I'll say no purely from anxiety and the fact that you clearly don't know me well enough if you propose publicly.
its manipulative as F
The slap-at-the-game proposal...I'm thinking he accidentally called her his ex's name. Just the way her face went from happy to incredulous so quickly.
I was thinking the same thing
Most likely! Or maybe he told her she wasn't his first choice, but the other 3 girls turned him down. 😉
I was thinking he said, “I’m not serious. I just bet my friend I could get on camera” or something along those lines.
He could've made some joke to ease the tension cos he was nervous and she got pissed off or something
My guess is that he said it was a joke. I’d have the same reaction tbh
It always sits weird with me when people say "if you've talked to their family and friends about it". Like, no, talk to your partner. Theyre the one you're proposing to
well maybe they want it to be a suprise but want to check with the people who know your partner best to see if they are even interested or if its a good idea to propose. in the end the partener should have the final say.
@@missroyaltea4012 Then you have a discussion about marriage but don't tell them when youre actually going to do it? I've had that convo with my boyfriend. I'm not going to be proposing for probably years, but I know he wants to get married. You can make the proposal a surprise without having to guess if they even want to be
With all the screaming and back and forth it was hard to tell if the guy was saying yes or no. When he sat down way back form the camera I thought for sure it was a no. He just looked like he was done. So happy for them. 🤣😂😍🥰
14:27 love this couple!!!!💙💙💙💙
