    I don’t understand public proposals intentionally done before a crowd. Proposals at other people’s weddings are downright bizarre.

      They are only bizare if they didn’t get permission from the couple that’s having their wedding.

      Otherwise they can be a nice suprise for the wedding.

      As for public one’s in general they are 100% bizarre.

      Because marriages and weddings are to show the community you’re together. That’s the whole point. Some people are a bit more extrovert about it than others, as in all things.

        Yeah but community pressure shouldn’t factor into the equation when making the decison

    You should never propose if you are not 100% sure the answer is yes. You talk about it before. The only thing that should be a surprise is where and how you propose.

      I agree, but I would also add “the particulars of when” to the list of surprising qualities.

      To be fair — if I talked to my hypothetical pilot boyfriend and agreed I would marry him and then he proposes on a flight he pilots, in front of all the passengers, I might say No no matter what we discussed previously. Because that would certainly make me question the whole relationship.

      There can never be a 100% sure while the where and how to propose is still open, since it includes a lot of scenarios that range from uncomfortable to batshit insane.

        Hopefully your hypothetical pilot boyfriend would understand that about you before proposing and not do such a thing.

        Presumably in the OP, he had a sense of what would be exciting for her.

      Because if the girl said ‘no’, then the answer is obviously ‘no’. But the thing is she is not gonna say no. She would never say ‘no’, because of the implication.

      Some people like to do it somewhere important, or that has a special relevance to their relationship.

      So really it was here or the delta Business lounge bathrooms.
