... but how can you NOT like it?
You obviously have to stay until the end to get the full impact... which, to me, beats bein' on the Jumbotron at half-time, the seventh inning stretch, or in between periods at a hockey game.
Well done, if it's real. The comments at the Tube O' You suggest otherwise. Party-poopers.
The hat-tip goes to the Guardian's viral vids list, where I also found this:
Yup. Goin' to Hell. No doubt.
I had been impressed with the first video. It was well done, well organized, and something that would rival the best of proposals.
ReplyDeleteWhen I proposed to my lovely lady I had a limo drive us to Central Park, NYC. I had friends there in tux and white gloves lined up outside her door. They lead her to a chair and bade her to sit.
Next came a table, table cloth spread out by the same tuxedoed crew, another chair for me to repose, a bucket of ice, a bottle of Tattinger champagne.
They opened the champagne, poured a glass for each of us, then the line passed a silver platter down the line with a rose and the engagement ring in a closed box.
The future best man was last in the line, he opened the box while I asked will you marry me?
It took a bit, while she finally calmed down from the tears, and said yes.
Its nearing 30 years now that she gave me the answer I desired.
There are some romantics around this ol' world... still. :D
Your proposal was quite the production, Anon. I forget exactly how or when I proposed to either of the Mrs. Penningtons, but I DO remember TSMP requiring me to write out my "philosophy of life" before she'd say yes. We had discussed the subject of marriage off and on for a couple of weeks and then I was sent off on a four-month TDY to Thailand. She made her demand in a letter to me and I responded with something like a 20-page handwritten missive. That did the trick.
ReplyDeleteOMG that first video was wicked!
ReplyDeleteI had been having a crappy assed day and hating every aspect of my life and job... that just put a big ear-to-ear smile on my face.
Thanks Buck!
Glad to be of service, KC. I hope you get to feelin' better soonest!
