A “How I Met Your Mother” proposal

 

I’m a huge fan of the show, “How I Met Your Mother,” and a big lover of marriage proposals. So put the two together, and you have something so amazing it’s Legend– wait for it– DARY.

And for the record, I am super appalled at myself for not knowing this piece of trivia already.

During the 2008 season finale, there’s an episode where the character, Robin, receives a glass of champagne at a restaurant with her date Ted. She finds a diamond ring at the bottom and freaks out thinking her boyfriend was proposing– when she really did NOT want him to propose.

It turns out, it was actually just all a mix up and the ring belonged to the guy behind them. He of course, takes the ring and pops the question to his date at the restaurant.

Fun fact: It was a REAL proposal.

Apparently this couple are HUGE fans, so groom-to-be somehow got the hook up to get the writers to write them in the show. He and his girlfriend flew to LA after he convinced her they were going to be extras on the show. She had no idea what was coming.

What a crazy proposal! And definitely a great way to tell your children about how you met their mother– or at least how you proposed to her.
