This woman called in with a quagmire of sorts. Giggety giggety.
See, she was recently proposed to. And she was excited, but for one thing. But here's the backstory. She and her fiancée have been together for five years and she said that it's been pretty much perfect the whole time. However, she had to "encourage" him to propose which I'm sure isn't so uncommon. I will never believe that a man is forced to marry a woman, he will probably just end up doing what he was taking his time to do more rapidly with certain encouragements.
While that was an issue, it's not the "one" I was referring to. See, her fiancée is a practical joker (according to her) and his proposal went like this.
He tied the 2-carat ring that he bought her to a string that was attached to a ribbon that was tied around his schlong. Yes Virginia, he acted out the metaphorical family jewels.
The poor woman, though happy to finally be engaged, was baffled and offput by his proposal. And she questioned whether or not he really wanted to marry her because he did something so non-sensical to propose. Plus, how could she tell her family that she's engaged and then tell THAT story?
Conundrum indeed.
For starters, I get her beef, but only because it will be an embarassing story to tell and her issue is not wanting to have to tell people about her big day because how do you tell your coworkers that your husband proposed with his weeny.
But the devil's advocate in me thinks, wow, what an idiot, but a fun one. It isn't like they haven't done the do before. I'm guessing he was just being funny and wanted to bring her into the fun, except that most women envision being proposed to in a certain fashion and I can most assuredly state that no woman's proposal prominently features a wang. At the end of the day though, she got what she wanted a fiancée, and one who obviously is playful. Now, he might have an...appropriateness problem of sorts but he was being creative, but perhaps just not in a way that his woman could appreciate given the levity of the situation.
But I don't know. What do you think? Was this proposal ridiculous? Or was he just being fun and playful and she should let it go and be happy? Does the way he proposed say anything about their relationship?
Talk to me.
best. proposal story. EVAR.
I don't think it means anything in the way of him not being serious about marrying her since she said he's a joker. I would have found it hilarious, but that's just my sense of humor... my boyfriend and I are not the epitome of normal. I'm sure she can just omit the wang part when she tells people about it.
How do you omit the wang part of the story? That IS the story. I think he could do it again in a more slightly appropriate manner so she can tell that story, and if she wants to she can proceed to tell the real story at her own discretion.
It depends on the tone of their relationship, if together they are fun, sexual and playful i see no problem...I only worry that if this bothers her so much, are they really compatible?
If anyone asks about how he did it, she should just say, “I’ll leave that story to him. He tells it so well!”
i would say no. i mean why out of all the moments he had in five years would he do THAT when proposing. He could have shown that he was being funny by tying something else to it. Not a ring. that doesnt ring marriage to me. But maybe thats just me. How do you tell your kids that?
I think it's hysterical. Plus, they could come up with a cover story to tell the people who might not like the original. Were I her, I'd get crazy with it: make it out to be overly-sappy or even Bollywood-style. It's funny and gives an opportunity for more creative fun together: points to the fiancé!
My hubby proposed to me in my sleep. He was on one knee with a ring & all but I was sleep. I woke up with a ring & no real memory of how it got there. I've been asking for a do-over for years just because that wasn't the story I wanted to tell. Finally I realized that that IS the story. I was proposed to by a nervous sweaty guy in my sleep. Apparently I'll agree to anything half conscious.
The Lady of Wang above will also realize that that IS her story & it's a great one!!!
I think its cute. I think it means a lot, giving her his wang with the ring is a sign of him giving her his loyalty and fidelity. Yes it is funny, but it also means so much more than that. Clearly he put a lot of thought into it and he means well by it, to show her she's the only one who'll be putting his member to use from now on.
She didnt HAVE to say yes, she could have politely declined explained why and asked him for a do over... That said I agree, its powerfull symbolism, handing her his manhood so to speak, and she knows he is a joker, presumably her friends and family know this too. Did she enjoy the joke and does it only bother her because what other people will think and other peoples expectations of what a proposal should be? If so, grow up and say to hell with everyone else, I'm happy to be Mrs Wang. BUT if it bothers her so much because of what she wants in her man and relationship, I really doubt if they are compatible.
Ahahahhaa.....I'm sorry, while I do sympathize with this woman, it's obvious that this guy is indeed a joker. Well, still, a woman deserve to have a respectable proposal, jokes aside. It's good that he's a funny guy, but he should do a normal, expected on one knee propose so she can tell that to the people who ask how he proposed. They could keep the "family jewel" between themselves but a normal proposal is needed.
