There was a guy Saturday night that asked his girlfriend to marry him at the local minor league ball game I was at. She said yes, but I kept hoping she'd say no, haha.
Why would you do this? Even if you know the answer will LIKELY be yes, why would you want to take a personal, private moment and put it in front of hundreds/thousands of strangers? I just don't get it.
I've had girl friends straight up tell they would say no if someone publicly proposed to them.. because it assumes that she would say yes, and there's wayyy too much pressure to say yes. Last thing a girl wants is to feel pressured or tricked into something. It can be a power play.
The only time I would consider it ok is if they had seriously talked about marriage beforehand and he knew damn well that she wanted to say yes... otherwise, he's just a douche.
This thread has terrible timing. I am about to do a public proposal in less than a week...
But I, like OP, already know the answer will be yes. Still, it's a very nerve-racking time.
the first one was widely suspected to be fake here in town
I see a theme. Mildly chunky girls do not like to be proposed to at sports games.All oldies, but goodies:

Does anyone know the back story/follow up for any of these?
Feel free to add more videos of failed public proposals.
My wife told me I could not, under any circumstances, propose to her on the big board at a 49ers game. So, instead, I did it at one of her graduate classes - I got the whole thing on video, too. I knew she'd say yes since she had designed the ring (she did not know I had it made, yet, though.)

How many people are you asking to marry you?
first chick was way too hot for that douche with a shitty beard
How many people are you asking to marry you?
So the wedding should be private, too? How many people are you marrying?

LOL, if you want an answer its better to shoot a pm, I'm not on here permanently.
A wedding is a public display of commitment before family and friends.
The decision to get married is a private decision between two people
