SATIRE

Are you wondering how to propose to your significant other? Can’t think of a way to do it? Too afraid to be boring with your proposal? Well don’t worry, I got you covered. I am going to go over 4 different, fun, creative and amazing ways that you can propose to your beautiful partner, all designed to guarantee the best results.
There is nothing better than riding on a rollercoaster screaming your head off while your partner’s pulling out a ring and saying those much awaited words. Nothing could go wrong. There’s a chance they say no and then you awkwardly have to remain in your seat until you can get off, but it’s not like that happens every time. Surely there’s not a greater risk than that. Like maybe dropping the ring? There’s probably staff who can help you find it afterwards. If neither of those things happen, just make sure to smile with your partner once the camera takes your picture.
Will you marry m- AHHHHHH!
What about a video game? If you spell out “Will You Marry Me?” in a game like Mario and have your partner play it, when they get to the point of the sign, not only will they be confused, but they’ll be touched. The only thing you need to do is find a way to GET the words onto the game. Afterwards, hope your partner gets far enough to see it without logging off.
Mario would be an excellent officiant of a wedding, after every vow he would say, “Me A Mario.”
Try proposing at the aquarium. That would be adorable for lots of people! Imagine looking at a turtle exhibit and someone inside the tank comes towards you with a proposal sign. Then suddenly you turn around and your significant other is down on their knees asking you to marry them. It’d be such a wholesome moment that I think even the animals would be cheering for you two.
Maybe a virtual ad is more your style. You guys could be watching a Youtube video and out of nowhere, an ad pops up. It seems pretty normal at first and you’re about to click skip, however, right then and there, you hear wedding bells and you see the words “Will You Marry Me?” on the screen. It’s such an innocent, nonchalant way to do it, but so unexpected.
You get the idea, there are many fun ways to propose to your partner! (Maybe don’t try the rollercoaster one though, that one seems dangerous – I mean you really don’t want to risk losing the ring!) But even if you don’t go for one of these funny ways, what’s important is that you’re genuine in how you propose to your partner. Don’t rush into things and make sure your proposal comes from a place of sincerity, love and admiration.
