Public Displays of Proposals?

Coming off the holiday season, which has one of the highest engagement rates of the entire year, I began to wonder, would Valentines Day yield a higher amount of, “Will you marry me?”The answer is probably yes…but I didn’t get an exact number. I heard of many engagements over the notoriously over-marketed love day, including my cousin Amy (by the way, Congrats!).

I recently read about a proposal gone wrong on V-day at a Rangers game in NY – check this out! Blue Shirt Bride

They don't always say yes?

After a few gasps, surprised grimaces and maybe a tear or two, the crowd came to a hush. “That poor man!” Many of them probably thought.

But it turns out….wait for it….

It was fake!

Who in their right mind has the audacity to pose a fake proposal in front of a crowd of thousands and why, why, why did they do this? Just think of all the poor ‘Melissas’ in the crowd who were secretly hoping that they may be the “blue shirt bride” getting proposed to in front of thousands?!

Ladies, did your fiance or hubby propose in public? Is there a stigma attached to this public profession of love? Are pranks like these giving public proposals a bad name?

What are your thoughts on this proposal gone wrong?
