A good proposal?

Okay... I almost never write about relationship stuff (which is because I have never been.in.one.) Anyway, but I have watched tons of movies that have proposals in it. And in Grey's Anatomy, Derek is about to propose to Meredith. So I am quite in a romantic mood right now - sadly, it has nothing to do with Valentine's though, I did get asked out to a dinner by Vic on Valentine's which also includes Birde! Yay!


The following is a selection from The Most Romantic Movie Proposals of All Times via mad dog. And me being me, of course I have some comments about them...!




  1. Walk the Line: When June Carter (Reese Witherspoon) told Johnny Cash (Joaquin Phoenix) that the only time he was allowed to speak to her was when they were onstage, she probably didn't have a public proposal in mind. "I have asked you 40 different ways, and it's time you came up with a fresh answer...You're my best friend. Marry me," Johnny says to June, mid-duet. He tells her--and the audience--that he won't finish the song until she says yes. Cue the kiss.


  2. - Seriously, I don't think a girl - well, at least me - could say no to a guy that had the persistence to asked the 40th time and the gut to propose on stage. But to some extent, I would rather a more private proposal... I mean, what if I am not ready?! And if I have the slightest feeling for you, I wouldn't have the heart to hurt or embarrass you by saying no in front of everyone. So in a way, by proposing in the public, I think you are actually cornering me to say yes.




  3. Sweet Home Alabama: What woman's heart didn't melt when Andrew (Patrick Dempsey) took Melanie (Reese Witherspoon) to Tiffany's--after-hours, no less!--and got down on one knee right in the store? As if that weren't romantic enough, the scene really entered fantasyland when he gestured to every diamond around and said, "Pick one." Average guys didn't stand a chance after that one.


  4. - Okay, in the fantasy world, I don't think I could reject Patrick Dempsey's proposal. But hey, if you have the gut to propose, please follow through by picking the ring that you think would suit me the best. Seriously, I think that part is super not romantic but materialistic. It's like 'Ha, I have got rosebuds, who can say no to that?' Well, think again, I don't want a guy who don't care enough to pick the ring. Because I do think picking the ring is an important part of the proposal. It doesn't matter how many caret it is or whether the clarity is good or not but the work you have put into it. The fact that you have money does not mean everything.




  5. Love Actually: The English flick was filled with more romantic gestures than even Cupid could stomach, but the most aww-worthy of all occurred when Jamie (Colin Firth) proposes to his summer housekeeper in the restaurant where she worked.


    "Beautiful Aurelia," he said in broken Portuguese. "I've come here with a view to asking you to marriage me...Of course I don't expecting you to be as foolish as me, and of course I prediction you say no, but it's Christmas, and I just wanted to...check."


    "Thank you," responds Auriela (L
