There's this wonderful thing about Eugene, well actually Springfield, OR. It's that we have a $2 movie theater. It's the place where movies go between the expensive movie theaters, and dvd. It was rainy and boring at home, so I went to see Meet the Focker's with my boyfriend. In the movie, there is a part where "Kevin"(Owen Wilson) wants to propose to his Paris Hilton esq girlfriend. I won't ruin the movie for you, but think of his proposal idea like the halftime show of the Super Bowl. He tells his proposal plan to "Greg"(Ben Stiller), who says it's too much, that Kevin should just speak from the heart. The next scene we see that Kevin has been dumped for his uninspired proposal.
So, was this girl a materialistic snob or what? Well yes she was, but the point is, if you're going to propose to somebody, know what they like. I guess, know them! Hefty feat maybe, but in the course of a relationship you should be able to know what kind of person they are and what they MIGHT expect from a proposal. When Greg told Kevin to dump his over-the-top proposal and to speak from the heart, he was unintentionally telling Kevin to be Greg, to do what he would have done to ask his wife. Now, should Kevin really have been with this girl? Probably not. She was kind of a she-devil. When it comes down it, you don't need to change who you've been the entire relationship for the proposal.
Just for fun, checkout this video of extreme proposals. If you feel inclined, share your proposal story in the comments!
