A COUPLE OF months ago, a guy called Dean Smith put up a marriage proposal video that he set up for his girlfriend Jennifer Kessel.
He filmed it over the course of the year, each day with a new written proposal for her.
It really was quite the commitment to an internet video
Starting out on Jennifer’s birthday in 2014, Dean recorded a message saying he was going to propose, and did a countdown of daily videos with a dated sign, like this:
The video was uploaded in January, but it’s really started going viral this week. Some people think it’s the greatest thing ever, but some really think it’s weird
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The fact that Bruno Mars is played in it, though, makes it a legit proposal
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The proposal happened on his fiancée’s birthday, though
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
He did it for a whole year without her knowing
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
Dean’s fashion was also under assault
The poor guy just isn’t catching a break.
No, you’re not alone. Half the internet is on your side
He also called it – on his own Youtube account – “Best Marriage Proposal of 2015 (Warning: Will Make You Cry!)
Still, his internet fame will comfort any mild criticism of his proposal. He put in such an effort. A little slagging is the price of viral success, we feel.
