Big Screen proposals at sporting events...
 

So I just found out that my sister is getting married and the guy did one of those jumbotron proposals...why?

Can anyone explain the romance of this? and has anyone done this here?

Last time I was at a football game and the guy proposed in front of 70,000 people on the jumbotron, and the drunk guys next to us were screaming, "Show us your tits bitch!!"...how romantic :1orglaugh

btw, her fiance is a really great guy and couldn't be a more perfect match for my sister, but I just dont get the sporting event proposals. :2 cents:

LOOOOL :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

anyone that is secure with their relationship does not need a goofy proposal in front of 1000s or a massive wedding. if two people truly love each other, being together should be enough without turning it into a massive spectacle in a goofy attempt to hold themselves responsible to each other by involving as many witnesses as possible. its like all the people announcing that are going to lose weight on this forum or achieve some other goal.. the only reason for that is to go on record and try to hold themselves accountable where they already know they lack the self discipline to do it on their own.

I agree.

They have been dating for two years and I'm really happy for them but just don't see the need for the spectacle of it. He also set it up that our parents and his parents were sitting across the ice (hockey game) and they watched the whole thing.

Nothing says I love you more than blood and teeth on a sheet of ice :upsidedow

Yeah seems every leaf game we seem to have a wedding proposal.

It's nice to see but not all that unique, but to each his own :)

Congrats to your sister Brian ;)

Thanks Mpeg

My ex-girlfriend that I nearly proposed to was a huge baseball fan and I'd planned on proposing to her on the jumbotron during a game with her favorite pitcher on the mound. She collected baseball cards and everything -- a rare find. It was a natural fit.

Yeah, so this was my plan until she broke up with me to date some dude that looked like Keanu Reeves. Fucking Keanu!

Congrats.

Now that makes sense if she was that into baseball...but the real question is what was her favorite pitcher?

If we went to a baseball game on our first date or it was our favorite thing to do (besides sexy time) then I could understand fo sho.

and yes, fuck keanu

Nolan Ryan. This was a while back, as you can tell.

Nolan Ryan...good choice

I like your sig btw :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Hey at least it was at a Hockey Game..shows the guy has some class.
Even better if it was at a Red Wings event.
