    Default Public proposals: WTF?

    Assuming this video is real, and it seems to be, there's a lot more wrong here than just wanting a ton of people present at your special moment.

    But, I am baffled by the whole public proposal thing. Seems like a seriously presumptuous thing to do.

    You're assuming the person you're asking wants to be the center of lots of attention.

    You're seemingly assuming there's a "yes" coming.

    In this case, is a crappy apartment party packed with drunks and cheap beer really what you want to remember for a lifetime?

    Of course, there's recently been a rash of well-video'd stadium proposal rejections which are pretty entertaining to watch.

    I suppose if you're the kind of person who wants 20,000 people to watch you propose, you're likely proposing to someone of similar disposition...hopefully.

    I blame romantic comedies.

    And narcissism. But mostly the rom-coms.

    It pre-dates rom-coms. I remember the stupid stadium proposals back to the 70s. Though people didn't "say no" / "boo" it as much back then. The linked one looks like a rom-com inspired disaster though.
