Arbroath explains how your boyfriend proposed to you:

A Bristol woman who thought she was going to see an “arty” film as a birthday treat received an unusual marriage proposal. Radio sports reporter Pete Simson, 26, from Bedminster, Bristol, hired the Watershed in Bristol to propose to his partner Hannah McDonagh, 25.

In the film, Mr Simson appeared dancing in front of many West Country landmarks. After the brief film Mr Simson proposed and a delighted Miss McDonagh accepted.

After the screening finished at the Watershed, a spotlight came on Mr Simson who got down on one knee and proposed to Miss McDonagh to a round of applause. “I wanted to propose in a way that was thoughtful but I have never taken myself very seriously so a romantic meal wouldn’t be in keeping with my character,” Mr Simson said.

Aww! That is actually very nice! I sincerely hope that the two of you are very happy forever. There is only one downside to this one:

All of your wedding presents are going to be pairs of pants. Because your boyfriend apparently does not have any. PUT ON SOME PANTS, SIR. Please tell your boyfriend fiance to put on some pants thanks.

    Are they sure he was asking to marry her? Because it looks like he was asking to sexually assault her.

  2. Felice  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    Um, honestly…..that was awesome. I’d marry him. Better than the Disney guy thats for sure. He clearly lives by life rule number 2: Motherfuckers need to know.

    I don’t wanna be that guy who’s all “u bloggerz r just sad in ur life so u need 2 mak fun of this ur puthetik”, but this is actually kind of sweet. Maybe I put too much estrogen in my coffee this morning, but if I were to concoct a big, cheesy, public proposal, it would be something like this.

    I love ya, Gabe, but sometimes :) > :(

    • Gabe  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

      All I said is that he doesn’t have any pants. I’m pretty sure that will hold up in any Trouser Court.

      • Jesse  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

        It will with a belt or suspenders! zing!

        • bengootscar  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

          Grounds for a “Whocka Whocka Whocka” trumping “Zing!” in this instance, your honor?…UPHELD!

      • Sebastian Paper  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

        You did though say “That’s your boyfriend”. And we all know what that means. That’s like subtle racism, brother.

        • Gabe  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

          Sure, but I also said “Awww!” and “That is nice” and “I sincerely hope that the two of you are very happy forever” which is like unsubtle ERACISM.

        • An American Patriot  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

          BROTHER? You are not DESMOND SIR.

          On another NOTE, are Y’ALL mad at me? I get the FEELING THAT there’s a few that are. SO I GUESS I’m just going to go FOR AWHILE. Cause I’ll GO IF YOU WANT.

          BYE VIDEOGUM? :(

          • An American Patriot  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

            hey Hey HEY, now! what’s this?
            get your undies out of a bunch and come down from the ledge. relax, stay a while.
            (this is really becoming grouptherapysessiongum, no?)

            for what it’s worth, i always upvote you.

          • njoy  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

            I for one appreciate your ridiculous presence here on Videogum. At first I admit i kind of hated you, but now, your sort of like my neighbors pugs who always jump on me and get my pants dirty. Your too cute to ignore? Too ugly to hate? Analogies are hard.

          • Max the King of All Wild Things  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

            WTF, you can’t just quit like that!

          • boo  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

            An American Patriot,
            When you FIRST showed up, I must ADMIT, I couldn’t stand you and downvoted you every time. But then one day, I’m not sure when or why, but all of a sudden I found myself agreeing with some things you said. And then some more time passed and something happened. You were funny to me! I acutally Lots of Love’d at some of your comments! And now you have become a comforting presence here on Videogum, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way, because your comments have gone from like -50 to +50. It would be a very sad day if you left forever.
            So, basically, An American Patriot, don’t go!

            p.s. Will you marry me?

          • .bryan.  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

            Don’t go! I always upvote you also. Only if you promise to have your book for us when you get back.

          • Constantinople  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

            What kind of blog is this where the trolls get fed up and publicly quit?
            You run a strange ship, Gabe. A Monster Ship.

          • langford  |   Posted on Jul 18th, 2009

            You’re such a weird little troll. I will miss you, though. I still miss Da Cake Eatur. I think I get internets-attached too easily.

  4. aaronwk  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    ugh. that’s the LAST time I let him convince me to marry him with his IF… THEN… statements.

  5. Jesse   |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    Did he come out wearing only sponge-bob underwear when he proposed?

  6. ModernMANdroid  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    Sounds like a certain blog editor is not comfortable in HIS underpants…

  7. Becca  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    where would one procure such a festive party-pack of manties? seriously, what an assortment!

    • Calliwell  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

      I’m glad that you also use the word manties. I think the word needs to be used more in convos. Manties.

  9. Restaurant Toast  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    He is actually pretty smart. He is setting the pants-bar super low right from the get-go so that when they do get married he will be the no-pants king ruling over his no-pants kingdom.

    • Ugah  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

      I guess it truly is a testament to their love that she said yes after that goose bump inducing video.

  10. benjamin  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    After a minute or so, the no-pants thing becomes old hat to me. It’s his nipple hair that I find so transfixing.

  11. Don Draper  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    First Da Cake Eatur now Patriot, this is way worse than MJ. I’m basically this guy.

  12. krup  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    thanks. this guy’s gonna give me nightmares tonight.

  13. pcbowen  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    There must be some kind of inside joke between Mr. NoPants and his betrothed. At least I hope so. I’d also like to jump on the WTF don’t go AnAmericanPatriot wagon. Has it really been that bad?

    • Max the King of All Wild Things  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

      he said “FOR AWHILE” so I’m pulling for it not being permanent? Seriously, though, what other trolls do we have? That one retarded, Graduate look Da Cake Eatur clone that’s who.

      Maybe he’s having problems in his home life :(

      • wondergrrl!  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

        Maybe his CAPS lock key is broken :( … or :) … unsure about my feelings on that, but surely that would fall into the “problems in home life” category for AAP.

        • super!  |   Posted on Jul 21st, 2009

          i think that would be a problem in the home row.

  14. thebigm  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    i ain’t gonna lie, i was completely prepared to hate but the little guy won me over. i million times yes kind sir….a million times yes

  15. Laur  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    The funniest part of this post, to me, because I am a linguistics nerd, is that this video is from the UK, where “pants” means underwear. This guy owns NOTHING BUT (British) pants!

  16. a theory  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    Could it be a reference to Bedingfield recording in his underwear? I’ve been witness to him turning down the lights and shedding his clothes in the studio.

  17. wondergrrl!  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    This vid just made me feel totally sad about crew cuts…unsure whether I was feeling sad about them or sad for them and/or people who have them. Man, so many feelings I’m having today and this is only my first gum-reading of the day!

    I guess I’ve just been a wreck since…. well, you know…

  18. Lulubelle  |   Posted on Jul 17th, 2009

    the shit i miss while your part of the globe is in sunshine and my part of the globe is in sleepy-boo-boos..

  21. aaronwk  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    AAPs boyfriend! LOLidise.

  22. kiss the pan  |   Posted on Jul 16th, 2009

    I never thought to ask AmPat this before, but do frequently capitalized words make an appearance in the novel? It just wouldn’t be An American Patriot© without CAPS! Also, don’t go.
