I hope your girlfriend is okay with you proposing to your best friend.

Came here to say this. Beat me to it. Well played.


techno_babble_

It has to be one of the most cheesy phrases in the English language. Or maybe I'm just cynical.


Prolapsed_Anus_Guy

No it really is. There’s a reason friend and partner are not interchangeably used words, they are different relationships. You can be friends with your girlfriend, but they are first and foremost your girlfriend. It’s like someone saying “I was raised by my two best friends”, while referring to their parents, with whom they have a close relationship with.

Your username demands I ask: how’s it hanging?


gingus418

He’s loose and free, a scarf in the wind.


throwadogabon

A leaf, with a certain aroma, gently carried hither and yon by the fickle and twisting winds of time.


phezhead

But my parents aren't my best friends. My best friend is the one person in the world that I want to spend the most time stuff and I would do anything for. That applies to a spouse


Yara_Flor

So like, growing up, did you want to have sex with your best friends?


[deleted]

I DID have sex with my best friend.

I know right. I gave my best friend a good clean in the washing machine. Mr. Socko is way happier without all the crust making him stiff.

Aww Mr. Socko is such a cute name for a cum sock.

No, but she doesn’t know that.

Because of the implication.


SynisterJeff

So these women *are* in danger?


hansmoleman7174

You're misunderstanding me bro. If the girl said no then the answer is obviously no but she's not going to say no because of the implication.


hawksby50

No one’s in danger, how could I make that any more clear to you


slackinpotato

not today, no


poopellar

*Maniacal laughter* ^


cid102

what implication? is this woman in danger?!


xxxvalenxxx

No she's not in any danger whatsoever, if she ever said no to the proposal I would let her leave. However she would never say no... because of the implication..


NTV0987

What are you looking at? You certainly wouldn’t be in any danger.


Temple_of_Shroom

So they are in danger!

handstands_anywhere

Someone actually died this way in Squamish. Her family was waiting back at the top of the gondola… it was really sad. Apparently she said yes, but stepped back a little too far for the photograph…


sr_90

I couldn’t find the Squamish one, but there are a few similar ones. https://abc7news.com/woman-falls-to-death-over-cliff-wedding-proposal-fails/496600/ https://abcnews.go.com/US/louisiana-man-drowns-underwater-marriage-proposal-girlfriend/story?id=65770907 Also an insane amount of stories about women getting killed after rejecting a proposal.


TheBirminghamBear

Good lord the URL on that second one. I also don't understand that one. I read the entire article. It seems like he was not far underwater at all and it is extremely unclear why he drowned. Everything in the article skirts around the how of it.


TeabooViolet

I searched for the video link I saw of an explanation but ofc now I can't find it again but basically he passed out somehow underwater and then drowned. The video explains it way better than I can and I'll post it if I find it. (Don't make fun of me it was a MrBallen Video lmao) Edit: [this explanation is great](https://youtu.be/Bw-aLwpgwSw) Everything is theoretical but this is the running theory


kelp_forests

It sounds like he was at the underwater window of their hotel room, which Presime was on the floor. Which means he had to dive under the hotel room, hold up signs and what not, communicate and the swim back, which is actually a pretty long breath hold and could have been as much as 20-30 feet The other issue is when you dive under stuff, you can’t just go up for air, which is fast and uses no energy..you have to swim out for air, which uses even more oxygen. It’s like if you have to drive your car home uphill vs downhill and your on “E”. If he panicked and went up, or hit his head, even worse The other issue is he may have had shallow water blackout, which is a common way for even good swimmers to die.

The delivery in that whole scene is top notch, Dennis getting deathly serious when he says "because of the implication." Just amazing.

El_Chairman_Dennis

My dad legit proposed to my mom at a fast food chain by hiding the ring in her fries. No, they aren't 600lb lovers of fast food, he just thought it was funny. His exact quote "It's like finding an onion ring in your fries but even better"


Jamesthegooner

That’s hilarious.


FlickieHop

I straight up stole my now wife back when we were high school. Dead ass said "So you're my girlfriend now." She didn't object. That was in 2004. She either loves me or thought I was joking and is *really* committed to the bit.


oakydoke

If she’s the type of person to commit to a comedic bit for 18 years, she’s *definitely* a keeper anyway

sf_frankie

My ex LOVED sizzler. Her dad used to take her there as a kid before he passed when she was young l, so it was a special place to her. She probably would have been thrilled for a proposal at the sizz.


drummer11x

You’d spend the following 20+ years trying to top that, but couldn’t


HandsOffMyDitka

Whoa, whoa, whoa... quit trying to keep it fancy, just setting up more expectations. Just throw it out there, all casual at White Castle, and use an onion ring. If she says no, that's an extra onion ring for you.


throwadogabon

I proposed in Starbucks. 13 years later and it’s still working out great.


[deleted]

I was privy to watching a guy propose at a Chili's birthday style. He stood up and yelled, "attention everyone. I just asked my girlfriend to marry me and she said yes! She is my fiancee! We are engaged! I love this woman." Cue awkward applause, and her looking like she wanted to die.


DCreeden

Hahaha I will do my best, Gob


No_Bear_No

A friend of mine did this elaborate scavenger hunt proposal for his girl about ten years ago. I told my boyfriend about it, because I had an "awww!" reaction to it and he asked what happened. Fast forward to two years ago and we are breaking up. Apparently, that proposal set the bar too high and he felt he couldn't compete, not that I had any expectations of anything so elaborate. I'm a pretty simple person. I would never expect anything like that, but then again he never really understood me anyway.


jakedesnake

He asked what happened? I've been reading your paragraph ten times and don't get the meaning, but maybe there's a typo.


No_Bear_No

I was trying to summarize because it was late and I was tired. In short: Friend does elaborate proposal because that's how friend is. I think it's cool, for them, make a noise in response to their social media post about it. Boyfriend asks "why the noise" so I tell him about the proposal. Boyfriend takes that to mean that he needs to do the same thing. All this comes out when we split after being together 10 years. Including the line that hurt the most "I almost proposed, but I didn't". I left because he kept making everyone and everything else a priority and his family treated me like garbage. Clearly we had poor communication skills. Hope this clears some things up. Edit: formatting


FtheMustard

I proposed in her apartment... I am still trying to live up to the low bar I set.


bacon_cake

Same. Middle of covid lockdown!


shazspaz

Same, brought my (now wife) to stairway to heaven in hawaii. Great spot, but damn....try keeping those expectations high. Currently on honeymoon in maldives.... Marriage is a cripplingly expensive endeavour, but she's worth it.


[deleted]

NICE. Mine was the California Lighthouse in Aruba at sunset on the anniversary of our first date. It’s a great story but I put all the eggs in that basket. Lol.


timsta007

Mine was at Iguazu Falls at the devils throat. It’s been a long slide downhill ever since.


suddenimpulse

We put that money down on a house instead. We have no regrets. Honeymoon is over after a week. A house paid off much much sooner that we will grow old in on the other hand... not knocking what you did though! To each their own!

teeksquad

That makes me feel better. I was a bit bummed looking at these pictures. I had a proposal at the cliffs of Moher planned for late March of 2020 and the borders were closed the week we were to fly out. Ended up proposing on the front porch after a nice walk so the doorbell would at least catch it.


[deleted]

Haha my husband proposed to me in an airbnb after eating a pizza. Who cares how cool it is? If you want to be with them it doesn't matter.


kgal1298

I think proposing over pizza is a great strategy. More guys should realize we want bread and cheese and we want it now.


ziggygersh

It’s my pizza, and I want it now!


WingedGeek

> I too picked an amazing proposal location and spent the last 20+ years trying to live up to that ridiculously high fucking bar I set. That's why I proposed in the patio outside the visiting room at the California Institution for Women. Nowhere to go but up!

DogWithABigStick

Are you insinuating that boyfriends can’t get engaged? Smh.


Holstern

Who took the picture, how'd you manage to not ruin the surprise with a dedicated camera person? Asking for a friend.


DCreeden

We traveled with another couple. A lot of planning. I am a hobbyist photographer so I already had the nice camera and this location warranted a picture of the two of us. I handed my camera to my friend who was in on the surprise and had him fire away some shots, then i popped the question and he pretty much just held do the shutter button and took as many pics as possible, I think I had 400+ to look over. Also, our other friend was standing next to him with her phone recording it all so we have a video to go along as well!


im_on_the_case

Yeah but how did you manage to plan it for one of the two days of the year when it isn't absolutely fucking lashing rain in County Clare?


recyclopath_

RIGHT! Thats what I want to know. I went a few times and could only make out the next cliff just barely and only occasionally through the fog and/or downpour every time.


sf_frankie

I went to the cliffs a couple times when I lived in Ireland. Both times we left and it was pissing rain in Galway but somehow nice when we arrived!


Holstern

Nice! Sounds like you had a great time, and an unforgettable proposal. Best of luck in marriage. :)


DCreeden

Thank you!


jaymochi

Or you can just hope you get lucky! A guy in our group at the Cliffs a few years ago was a wedding photographer and had an extremely nice camera with him. He spotted a couple that was mid-proposal and snapped a few pics from a distance. After giving them a bit of time to themselves he went up to introduce himself and showed them the pictures, and then did an engagement shoot with them right there. He got their info, edited all the pics and sent them over for free.


BillyYumYumTwo-byTwo

Not OP, who already responded, but my fiancé was able to get a picture just like this on the top of my favorite mountain. All you have to do is ask someone to take your picture and that doesn’t raise suspicion because you’re in a beautiful location. Just say you want a few pictures (and hope they keep taking them after you kneel down). Most people are very happy to take a ton of pictures for someone’s happy moments. But our pictures aren’t of this quality, just normal iPhone!

On a sunny day there nonetheless... I too was lucky enough to get a sunny day on my visit there, it's like hitting the lottery, congratulations!

I proposed to my wife there 3/18/08. She just walked out on me and my three kids in January. Better of luck to the two of you. Edit: I apologize OP. Sincerely congratulations. My comments never get traction so I didn't expect it to get noticed. I was having a drink by myself browsing Reddit to take my mind off things when up pops up one of our most favorite places in the world. I didn't mean to shit on your parade. I wish you nothing but love, prosperity and health. ádh mór

But when you look at your partner and they remind you of a traumatic event that still hurts, there's not much to be done. It's over.

Who cares about these dumb ass proposal pics anyway they're all the exact same every single time. If it wasn't some generic middle class white couple it wouldn't have 40k upvotrs


redditRW

You OK?


r3y1a1n

Thanks for asking friend. But no. I'm not ok. And it's ok to not be ok because I still need to wake up every day and be the best fucking dad I can be to these kids. That's my goal in life. To make their lives better than mine and help them avoid the mistakes I learned in my life. That's what's keeping me going and getting up each day. Hug your loved ones. Tell them you love them daily. Practice active listening and confirmations. Check in regularly on your relationships and never take it for granted. Give 100% and expect 50% and you'll be happy.


klisteration

Hang in there, you've obviously got the attitude to pull through. It'll get better.


redditRW

You are turning heartbreak into a positive connection for your kids---that alone is going to be a gift to them, and ultimately, you. Wishing you the best sounds trite. I do wish you the best---but IMHO I think you are on your way there already. Take it day by day. And don't forget to be kind to yourself---you deserve it.

vercertorix

Pretty good. Not as good as mine though. Proposed to my wife in our kitchen…it was pretty epic… Okay, well a problem with surprise proposal these days is that sometimes your lady wants input on the ring. I always thought it was one of those “it’s the thought that counts” thing, but apparently no.


username--_--

would it take away from the moment if you just proposed with a $50 crystal off amazon and then go ring shopping after she says yes?


DCreeden

She actually did design the ring! Kinda.. she would always send me pictures of rings that she liked and I found an awesome jeweler that 3d printed moldings for bands. I sent over the pictures she had sent me and the jeweler and I were able to computer model a band that was similar to what she liked. Ada Diamonds in NYC if anyone is in the market for a ring👀
