This is a pretty amazing proposal. If only more men did things like this. On that note, thanks for linking back to our site!

Have a great week!

yup, the guy who did that proposal has peaked. Furthermore, has set himself up for unrealistic expectations for future acts of romantic crap that just can’t happen. But, then again, I guess that depends on what your definition of romance is. Is it, blowing that much money on one night (as nice as it looks) or, maybe, using 10% of that, having a really nice night (without the camera man) at the Ritz, and then a down payment on say, a nice house, a nice honeymoon or, maybe a savings account? I don’t know, just a thought. Romance to me, isn’t one night .. it’s a lifetime .. try keeping up that kind of crap when you’ve got screaming babies, and can’t go live with your sister for six months to save money! Nope, it’s in the simple everyday things. Like: treating someone with kindness and respect. Knowing when to express and opinion and when to shut the hell up. It’s sometimes just taking the kids for a walk and giving me a few minutes of a breather. It’s bringing me roses and wine every now and again (even though, we all know neither last very long!) but, hey even I get sappy every now and again. It’s seeing a big strong husband trying to put a hairband in a little girls hair, then, deciding he’s too straight to do the same and agreeing that we can cut it (but still secure enough in himself to carry around a Dora backpack). It’s being there, through the happy times and the shitty times, and putting in the effort to try to make the shitty times less in duration!

Gah, that slideshow was repetitive, I couldn’t finish it. We get it, roses and candles and hugs, and lots of them. Sheesh. If Trey had pulled something like that, I would have gone on a furious hunt to find the woman he’d been working so closely with in secret for so long, ’cause there was a chick’s hand in there, somewhere.

But all that show wasn’t just for her, like you said. I think that the idea of involving family and church, turning it from a simple proposal to an examination and celebration of exactly what they’re getting themselves into, as explained by those with more experience and their best interests at heart.

At heart, I think the kid was pretty damn sincere. He wanted to show this girl, and her family and his family and their community, just how much he wanted to be with her. But unfortunately, the boy, girl, families, and communities involved needed him to go into serious debt in order to do it, which is just messed up.

I’m sure they’ll have a long and happy marriage, just as long as he keeps raking in serious dough, and they keep blowing that money to show each other and everyone else exactly how expensive . . . uh, I meant valuable . . . they are to each other.

I can’t believe how many grown-ass women thought/think this guy’s approach was so wonderful. All of them who think that are single. If they’re not careful, they are going to get a man who acts this way, and find out too late that he’s (a) peaked, (b) gay; (c) unfaithful (d) desparate for a woman for a very good reason or (e) all the above!

Grown ass males who love women do NOT act this way.

Women who hold out for this kind of man are single (or miserably married to a loser) for a reason!!!

A brilliant piece.
