I'm so mean...

Okay, so if you've been reading my blog for a while, you know how much I hate awkward proposals.

Awkward proposals = in front of an audience of friends and family who are all anxiously waiting for you to say "YES!"

Perfect example:

Um... Hello videographer wearing socks with sandals.

Hello teenage cello and violin players.

Hello poor awkward girlfriend who would probably have rather had a less public proposal!  Homegirl looks like she doesn't want to be there.

Sorry if any of you know this couple, but I would not want my boyfriend to subject me to this kind of thing.  Any guy who thinks that THAT up above is romantic... ugh, I feel for you and pity your girlfriend.

As another blogger (thefrisky.com) so eloquently put it about another public proposal:
Why he decided to allow a film crew to capture this moment, I have no idea, but seeing it made me really uncomfortable. Honestly, I kind of think that viewing any proposal would be totally awkward. I get all squirmy whenever I have to watch a marriage proposal, even in movies. I think it’s because the man’s nervousness is so apparent. This is why I think all proposals should take place in private—only one person should have to witness the guy’s agitation. What do you guys think?
