I am always torn by awesomely over-the-top proposals

Because while that wedding proposal was simply amazing, I really, really hope that she had already basically said yes, because otherwise that amount of pressure in front of family and friends is just unfair.

My spouse and I just sort of ending up thinking we might as well get married, then we set a date. Then a friend of his escorted him to a jewelry store to buy a ring which we gave to me when he dropped me off at work.

That was 25 years ago, so you don't need over the top to make it last.

I think maybe this earlier dancing proposal to the same song may have produced even more horrifying pressure:

Presumably/ideally, most proposers already know what the answer will be, and the actual question/answer is a formality. :)

A few years ago I found myself watching This Is Your Life. That week's guest was Bill Oddie, and when Michael Aspel accosted him with the famous red book, he shook his head, said "no, sorry, I won't do it" and walked away. I guess he was talked round eventually because the programme didn't end right then, and actually he ended up being a pretty good sport about it, but I think I'd probably have much the same reaction if it'd been me.

I don't like these type of things. Maybe that makes me a meanie but I don't care.
