In which we post elaborate marriage proposal schemes, and react to the last poster's.

The poster's identity, your relationship status/duration, and beliefs on who should propose to whom aside, give your reaction based on the proposal itself.


At the end of your dinner date, your SO pulls out a small jewelry box and gets down on one knee. They open the box to reveal... a car key. Well, they got your hopes up, but a new car is pretty cool too. You go out to your new luxury sports car and check out all the features. When you get to finding all the cupholders, you realize there's an engagement ring in one, and your SO proposes properly... and tells you the car has to be back to the rental place in the morning.

I'd probably too disappointed about not being able to keep the car.

You're at a movie theater, when suddenly, your SO hijacks the screen, and proposes to you before a crowd of hundreds.

Oh hell yes. Hacking a movie is badass.

Your SO gives you a Pokéball. Inside, it has a ring and a note that reads "I choose you!"

I take the ring and gently lob the ball back at them. Pokemon's not my thing, but that's still cute. Accepted.

You happen to come across a note tied to a rose, just sitting on your kitchen table. It's the first clue on a scavenger hunt that lasts all day, taking you to numerous places that are important to your relationship, and at the last step, your partner is waiting with a ring and a flute of champagne.

Works, but only if I'm smart enough to figure out the hunt.

Your SO puches you and then proposes.

I'll punch him back and then hugs him, asking if he's drunk. If he isn't, I'll marry him. :3

Your SO woke you up at three in the morning, clad in cosplay as some random generic villain and then ties you to a chair.

And then SO proposed.

I'd be too frightened to say no.

Your SO can't afford a proper ring, so he/she/it gives you a deep-fried onion ring instead. And proposes. (Also, it/she/he doesn't know, but you do, that i/s/h is going to inherit $65000 any week now.)

Yeah I would, 'cause I love SO anyway, and then going to eat it too.

"So, you'll buy me a real ring someday, right?"

Your SO asked you to go to SO's house, and while you two were watching a Horror Movie with the villain stalking the girl, at the very climax, SO proposes. Would you accept?

Yep. The proposal is easily more interesting than the movie.

Your SO skydives to your front lawn (let's pretend you have one if you don't) and proposes after landing.

I'd totally accept. Unless she dies.

Your SO takes you on a cruise ship. She/he tells you to look the the sky where a plane has written out the words "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" A ring box then drops from the sky in a parachute.

I'll marry pretty much anyone, who can parachute a small object with that kind of precision.

Your SO Proposes in the traditional way, kneeling and ring box, but the ring is paid with your credit card.

I accept, but give her a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant to pay it off.

Your SO gives you a CD to listen to. You put it in the CD player, and it's her/him singing a nice ballad to you, that ends her/him saying, "Will you marry me?"... followed by a Dubstep drop.

Probably accept, but hard to imagine getting that far in a relationship if she listened to dubstep very much.

Your SO writes a lemon fic about you two and ends it in a proposal.

Decline. One who writes fics about us getting it on before we're even married is not a suitable wife.

Your SO knocks on your door and asks if you'll marry her/him.

Accept. Simple, but works.

Your SO writes a bestselling novel series that ends in a proposal.

It wouldn't work, cause I would never read it to the end.

Sadly, I didn't see them drop it, and the ring fell into the gutter. So, no.

Your SO asks if you can read over a cover letter they've written for a job they are currently applying for. As you read through it, you notice the first letter of every paragraph when spelled out read "Will you make me the happiest person in the world". Behind you, your SO is standing, ring in hand.

I'd miss the clue unless I was expecting it.

Your SO starts a TV Tropes forum game thread, where people post wacky proposal ideas and then chooses the coolest one.

Nothing happens since SO didn't do it on me. So just chose it.

A mailman sent you a diamond ring necklace, with SO's mom name in it. Would you accept?

I'm nit sure what to think. Why didn't SO come in person? Why isn't SO's name in there? Dis SO even send this? Is SO okay? -freaks out-

Prospse to SO using pyrotechnics to spell out "I love you" While you give SO a diamond ring in the hammiest way possible.

I'll accept since SO is a pussy that way.

Your so woke you up in bed and made you breakfast. SO then proposed to you with PIE only. Will you accept?

Hmm, pie makes me agree with whoever gave it to me. Accepted.

Your SO tells you that he/she/it changed the wireless network when you come around. When you check, you see one named "<your name>, will you marry me?"
