What do you think about these proposals?

I thought this was an interesting article and a definite conversation starter for all the LIWs. Personally, if you ask me anything spelled out in coconuts and I'm bound to say "yes!"

Honestly? I''d be kind of horrified if BF did something like that. It''s SO not us. I think those stories are really cute when they suit the couple (which they obviously do in this story) but I really wouldn''t want anything like that.

And a whole service that plans proposals for people? Kind of makes me shudder. Sorry if that offends anybody, but if you''re going to have the big, orchastrated proposal, I feel like it at least ought to be your BF that organizes it.

And the competitive aspect the guys were talking about really turned me off. I don''t know that I''d want BF to be thinking about other people when he planned something for *us*, you know?

(Hmmm...I''m coming off as a wet blanket. I''m sorry! I do think stuff like this can be cute, it''s just really not me...)

"...the effort put into each proposal reflects the seriousness with which they approach marriage itself" Eh... no. IMHO if he needs to go absolutely over-the-top with a proposal to prove his love, I think something is missing in the relationsip. These are interesting ideas, but I don't like the feelings behind them, you know? My ideal proposal would be during a nice dinner at home, or when I wake up in the morning, etc. According to that guy, we wouldn't be really "serious" about getting married.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing!!

Exactly! I loved the pizza proposal that the guy totally dismissed.

Wow. I really do not like that guy's attitude. Scoffing at others who did not have any kind of over the top proposal? As if that had any bearing on the marriage itself?!? My husband proposed to me in our bedroom on our anniversary, in our pajamas! We have the best relationship ever... He reminds me of my grandfather, who has been married to my grandmother for 60+ years, and dotes on her and loves her more than anybody in the world! I don't need all of that showy crap!... I KNOW my man loves me, he doesn't have to put on a show.

Jerk a@$.

Want to hear something funny?

When I read the on the plane proposal...

If I were on that plane when that happened, I would be highly annoyed. LOL I don''t know why.

The other proposals are really cute and creative though.
