YESTERDAY, ROMANIAN rugby player Florin Surugiu captured the hearts of the world by proposing to his girlfriend on the pitch at Wembley after losing to Ireland.
Over the past few years, the internet has seen a lot of marriage proposals – some of them good, some of them not so good…
THE GOOD
This dolphin proposal
IT’S A DOLPHIN HOLDING A BUOY THAT SAYS ‘WILL YOU MARRY ME.’ You literally couldn’t do anything better.
The man who proposed to his girlfriend with a custom Monopoly board
Yep, the engagement ring was hidden in a secret trap door under the Luxury Tax square. (Read the full story of the Monopoly board proposal here.)
The bacon proposal
Simple and delicious.
Jason from Kodaline’s Croke Park proposal
Bassist Jason casually got down on one knee after the band performed to 80,000 Ed Sheeran fans earlier this year. Imagine the nerves!
THE BAD
The man who decided to pop the question while at a wedding, in front of the bride
According to the woman in the photo, the bride was totally fine about it and in fact encouraged the couple to co-opt her big day by getting engaged during it. The internet, however, disagreed.
That Rose of Tralee proposal
The New Orleans Rose eventually said yes, but not before the whole country twisted in on itself with embarrassment. “NO. NO. NO. NO. PLEASE DON’T.”
AND THE UGLY
This guy mistakenly proposing over a takeaway McDonald’s, where they first met
Unsurprisingly, given her reaction, the couple agreed to wait until they were both ready to get married.
And the man who proposed to his girlfriend in the middle of a mall food court
Again, the place where the couple first met. But again, proof that that’s not always the best place to pop the question.
