I’ve never seen a proposal on the Internet that ever seemed all that great and this one is no exception. I apologize to each of the people involved and I certainly don’t know your life, but OUTSIDE OF THE AIRPORT? Maybe he said something very sweet to her that we couldn’t here that made up for it being outside of the airport, maybe he was like, “I was going to wait until we got to a much better and more appropriate place for this but if you’ll forgive me I really just cannot wait because that’s how much I love you.” In which case I’d be like, “Aw, that’s nice.” But then they would still have to get in the car and drive all the way home, which is definitely very far away from the airport, and that would kind of suck. And then they’d get home and feel like they want to just settle in for a while and he’d probably want to take a shower and brush his teeth and put on non-airport clothes and just kind of relax because being at the airport is always terrible. And then it’s like, Well, do we celebrate now? And the moment has kind of passed. But you celebrate anyway but it’s not as good as if you could’ve just had a quiet celebration immediately. Though I am starting to think that I might be the problem to be honest. I apologize to all of the hundreds of men who plan to propose to me in the future.

Also: “Aren’t you guys too young to get married?” “Maybe she is, but I’m not.” :-/ :-/

Also: When they don’t know whether they are supposed to walk away or not, and they walk away and then turn around and then walk away and then turn around over and over and over, that is the best. (Via TheDailyWhat.)

  1. When the time’s right, it’s right. I proposed to my now-wife in my underwear while she was making microwave nachos. I bet my wife wishes I’d sprung for the ritz and glamor of an international airport.

  2. That reporter really turned the awkward up a notch.

    “We’ll talk about your age later… is that a princess cut?” I guess if the ring is nice enough, it’s ok to be a cradle robber?

    Insert Chris Hansen pic here…

    • Do certain cuts cost more? I thought it was more determined by diamond quality and size and the amount of blood on it.

      (I don’t know these things because I am a spinster.)

      • I actually have no idea if a princess cut is better than other cuts. The reporter seemed to be excited about it, so I assumed it was a good thing.

        • I don’t if one cut is better than any other, but I once witnessed a semi-stranger identify the (apparently not common) cut of my best friend’s engagement ring from across a table in a dark bar. So maybe it *is* important?

  3. If you’re too young to legally have a drunken screaming match with your partner, you are too young to marry said partner.

  4. i also LOLOLOLed at that awkward walk away. I’m not prolific gif maker, but i want that one. I will be back in 15 minutes when i have completed making that gif on a gif making site. I will then paste that gif in a comment to this comment. it will be great.

  5. “Aren’t you guys too young to get married?”

    Aren’t you a complete stranger who should mind their own damn business?

  6. So…now is *not* a good time to propose to Kelly? Chin up, LilB, you’ll find your moment!

  7. I was going to propose to my girlfriend outside the airport once, but I’d forgotten my lucky dorky knapsack.

  8. The light hug and lack of romantic kissing tells me that marriage will surely last.

  9. Why do I feel like he’s about to hop on a plane to Nigeria to encourage impoverished locals to oppose gay marriage?

  10. Not to be a great big Judgey Judge, but they just look like a super fun couple! Fun wardrobe and fun reactions to life altering scenarios!

  11. ha, stupid losers.

  12. I can’t help but think of the many proposals that DON’T happen on camera. At least this guy didn’t plan on it being seen by many people. *ahem* http://videogum.com/278261/this-is-your-wedding-proposal/top-stories/

  13. GUYS! this is the Airport I go to! This is MY Airport! My Airport is on the news!!! I am at this airport LITERALLY all the time! Or at least the last time I was there my flight was delayed 4 hours so it felt like forever YAY! my airport!

  14. RIGHT BY THE AIRPORT?!

    I think Loretta would approve.
