I loved this. I got weepy watching it and I so wished I had stumbled upon the scene in person. Proposal stories are the best, and this one is a doozy. How do you outdo that? Someone will, I'm sure, but this one will rank pretty high for a while. Okay...so here comes synical-move-past-romantic-phase voice...I have no intimate knowledge of this couple, all I know is that this is a pretty impressive way to ask someone to marry you, and I can hardly imagine every anniversary, birthday, or holiday that follows will fully measure up. How is this guy going to be as great as he is during the proposal? How can he recapture what is probably going to be the most romantic moment of their relationship? Maybe he's not supposed to. Maybe the proposal is allowed to be so crazy and big that it propels a relationship for the long-haul when the couple retells the story, again and again. Being the realist who has been married almost twelve years, and who didn't really like the landing when I came down from the high that was the proposal and the wedding, I cannot help thinking about whether this guy is setting his marriage up for disaster by going over-the-top with the proposal? Maybe she is not that high maintenance, and he knows that she would have adored the quiet one-flowered wedding proposal just as much.
What do you think? Can someone over-propose?
