Public proposals

[Tink]

My niece Colleen was proposed to on the Oprah show, where she works.
There's a picture of it here on the Oprah site if anyone cares to see it.

Colleen was totally blown away when he proposed on the show. I personally would have been mortified in her position.

I'm wondering if anyonehere was proposed to publicly? How did you react?

Tink, your niece works for Oprah thats awesome, and how romantic that your nephew purposed on the show. Nope I don't know anyone who can top that..

I read that on the website and pretty much started crying, I read it to Mum and my voice started to shake a bit, I think I'd die of happiness if that were me!!!

I've yet to be proposed to but when I do I'll be sure to let you all know about it!!!

:) I always watch Oprah, don't remember that show specifically, but it may have happened in what they call "after the show.":)

I hear they're very happy together. Their wedding was a very elaborate affair, with the honeymoon in Africa.

Dh's sister was also proposed to in a very public setting. She was drama teacher at a catholic school, so her guy proposed on stage after a play. Gregs family just ooohs and aahhs when this stuff happens, and I personally think it's putting someone in one heck of a spot! I wouldn't have reacted nicely had he done that to me. Maybe I'm just not the romantic type. LOL

Aww, that's so sweet. I'm with you though Tink. I think I would've been mortified if I'd been proposed to in a huge public setting. I wouldn't trade our nice private romantic proposal on New Year's Eve for anything. :)

I remember that show. He was very brave to propose in public in front of millions of people watching. I would have died if that happend to me, im not that brave :D
