Total Cynic That I Am This Made Me Cry...

Best marriage proposal, EVER? You be the judge, but I liked it. Imagine the freakin work that went into this. What a creative guy and what a lovely, crazy family he has to agree to help him do this. Who wouldn't want to be a part of it?

ah bruno mars. can't go wrong with that song choice. talk about raising the bar for creativeness. I'm more the simple and intimate type rather than the flashy and over the top, so I can't sever see me pulling this off, butI give this guy props, and he clearly has one hell of a group of friends.

Well that made my holiday weekend.

Literally just finished the last details of my son's rehearsal dinner with his fiance.

(Shhhh - its a surprise!! I'm passing around my K-01 throughout the dinner/toasting to let the wedding party record their own "best moments" for the happy couple).

I've been proposed to. Once it was all about business and it was absurd the pitch. Guy I knew wanted me to agree to a green card marriage. His proposal was anything but flattering and I couldn't even believe he actually went there, thought I was that naive. Second time was a bit better, LTR thing, but unfortunately for him I ended up saying "No thanks." to him too. I was forever grateful that he kept it low key though and didn't plan something crazy. It would have been really harsh had I had to turn him down after something like that. As it was the relationship ended because of it. I always felt bad for him after. It's got to suck to make one and have someone say "No."

Yeah, there is the fear, "What if she says, 'No'?"

According to my son who recently proposed to a young lady who told the world when she was 5 years old she would marry my son (they had never actually dated until the last year of college), the harder one was asking her father. They had discussed the possibility of marrying in general terms - but she had made it clear not to actually ask her "until you have talked to my father."

He did that without telling her.

Her father is a real character (of course he was all for it) and conspired with my son to craft a similar (though not so elaborate) surprise. Only he, I and my son knew what was coming. I was reticent about the public nature of the surprise, thinking she might rather have the private romance.

We had her entire family to our home for a dinner party celebrating a new job for her. After the small gifts and toasts to her success, my son excused himself from the table to retrieve one last item he had forgotten. Cameras out, down on the knee . . . her father and I brought out the hidden champagne . . .

Before she said yes she blurted, "When did you talk to my father?"

Of course you want to marry her. You just have to know in your heart that she wants to marry you before you ask.

They don't have a clue what's coming on thier honeymoon - her father is a 4real character.
