    The other day we were playing a video game and my 5 year old shouted “DO AN AILERON ROLL!!”

    We must be doing something right.

    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.

          That was kinda my point. If you rely on the fact that your boyfriend or girlfriend understands you well enough that they wouldn’t do a proposal that makes you feel uncomfortable, then them doing something like that might be a deal breaker or at least not an immediate yes. Because it would make you rethink whether they really understand you. But we’re probably getting lost in hypotheticals here. As long as everyone involved in the OP was happy, I’m happy for them.

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

          Chances are, they’ve talked about it beforehand and it’s only a matter of making the decision public…

      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.

        I think this only makes sense if the engaging couple are like super close with the wedding pair. And even then it depends a lot on the personalities of the couple getting married

            My point is that even asking permission is very weird in most cases.

                I think it depends on the presentation and timing,

                If you ask for permissions and the ceouple agrees, the couple can mention that is another important annoncment happenning and they let the ither couple do their thing, can end up being a nice memory if done correctly and they don’t really upstage it if done correctly, only add to the happines of the event.

                But if done abruptly and without permission then yes, i agree it’s just upstaging and destroying thr wedding of someone else.

                Note: here it’s normal for couples to propose on someone’s wedding if they got permission and the couple having the wedding announces something happenning. Ends uo being a nice memorh where the two couples come together and celebrate getting married and proposed to.

      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.
