A Town Hall Wedding Proposal
Posted by Jessica Sharpe on Sat, Feb 18, 2012
The latest proposal video that's making the rounds on the Internet is the proposal of a young couple attending a town hall meeting hosted by some local radio personalities. He was going to "ask a question" during the Q&A at the end, but the personalities begin asking him about his relationship with his partner, and encourage him to make a wedding proposal, which he does. It's a great example of how to propose in a public area!
Fortunately, she said yes, and is obviously very happy about it. The young man did several things right in this proposal, which always bodes well for success.
He acknowledged the interests that the two of them shared as a couple -- namely, they were interested in seeing these radio personalities talk, and he made the effort to get tickets to the town hall forum.
- He planned the proposal by calling the radio station beforehand and asked if the personalities would be willing to help out by picking him to participate in the Q&A session and then "asking" the leading questions about his relationship.
- He had the ring ready and waiting, and went down on one knee. She was so excited she could hardly see the ring, of course, but it's great to have it there.
Public proposals always carry the risk of public embarrassment if your partner says no, but if you are confident of the answer you'll get, they can be a lot of fun.
