That story reads like "Random Guest at Coke Party Interviewed"

Hurting, Saturday, 24 December 2011 22:34 (twelve years ago) link

THE marriage game has no shortage of matchmakers, wedding planners, fashion stylists, floral designers and other referees.

Now joining their ranks is a group of consultants called proposal planners, who advise men, and sometimes women, who want to propose but are flummoxed about how to go about asking this life-altering question memorably.

For a fee, proposal planners promise to help plot a scenario for the key moment and assist in its execution, with just the right helicopter, hot-air balloon or gondola, and along with it the proper locale and musical accompaniment.

Sarah Pease, the owner of Brilliant Event Planning in New York, was focused solely on weddings and parties until 2008, when a friend proposed with an engagement ring at the bottom of a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. She then became a proposal planner as well.

Ms. Pease typically charges $500 for devising a plan; having her handle the whole operation can run $12,000, she said, plus any fees to those providing the transportation and site.

here's how you plan yr proposal:

1. buy a ring
2. ask yr partner to marry you

if your partner loves you, I guarantee you the proposal will be memorable

How does the idea of putting a ring in the bottom of a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken even happen, though? Like the only thing I can imagine being a worse idea is throwing the ring at the woman and screaming "DO YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED?"

encase the wedding ring inside a bowling ball

Throw the engagement ring into a room, scream "IF YOU WANT TO MARRY ME, GO FETCH THE RING!"

If the woman goes into the room, announce "I forgot to mention, inside this room, there are BEES!!!!!" as you lock the door.

Shout "BEEEEEEEEEEESSSS"
