That's Your Boyfriend: Daniel Beddingfield Wedding Proposal Guy

thumbnail icon: That's Your Boyfriend: Daniel Beddingfield Wedding Proposal Guy

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.

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 :) > :(

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

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

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,
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?

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.

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.

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!

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.
