Call me a curmudgeon, but… 1. I prefer the good old-fashioned intimate type proposal that isn’t a dare to refuse in front of 837 of our closest friends and 2. that’s the gayest proposal of heterosexual marriage that I’ve ever seen. ---

Me too but she seemed to be thrilled. You have to know your lady. It looks like the two of them and all of their friends have a theater background so it was perfect for them. I’d be totally mortified. As it turns out, by the time they’re done with the talk show circuit, they’ll have a nice nest egg to start their life together. ---

Yeah, don’t get me wrong, I’m pleased for them if that’s their thing. I personally would be horrified and pissed off, but presumably anyone who wanted to marry me would know that. ---

Glad I’m not the only 'Doper that thinks maybe it would have been an even cooler video if she had then turned him down. See you in hell, DianaG 😉 ---

Wow! I proposed last weekend, and thought that doing it in Québec city in a park with a beautiful view of the Chateau Frontenac and the river was impressive. I’ll have to…er…rethink that. Seriously though, that’s impressive. It made me laugh out loud, which I never really do to youtube. Nice. ---

And that does sound like more to speed for most folks. 🙂 We are trying to plan and execute a wedding at the end of January. This is certainly a lot of work, heh. Thanks, it did indeed go well. She keeps getting lost staring at the ring, and I have to snap her out of it. I assume that’s a good thing 🙂 ---

The song mentions “Dancing Juice” aka alcohol. The Video has people wearing Tallis’ dancing around. ---
