When you’re planning your proposal, there are two things to keep in mind.

1) Are you confident she’ll say yes?

2) If you haven’t talked about marriage, think carefully on WHERE you’re going to propose.

This poor guy starts proposing to his girlfriend in the middle of the mall. He talks about how they met in front of Cinnabon, and how she’ll make him the happiest man alive. These two are surrounded by people, including a large group of elderly people the cameraman lists as tourists. As the man drops to one knee, a friend appears playing the guitar. But instead of a tearful, “Yes!” we would expect… well… just watch for yourself.

The cameraman says, “Oh, that’s brutal,” but the encourages the proposer by saying, “It’s alright, man, it’s alright!”

I’m not sure encouragement from strangers would help me in this situation. Can we say epic-fail-embarrassment-for-all-eternity?

Yes. Well, at least I can.
