Thinking of proposing in front of a few dozen, hundred, or thousand unsuspecting strangers? There’s a not-so-fine line between romantic and horrifying. Actually, three not-so-fine lines. Watch and learn from these public proposals, plus our dos and don’ts of popping the question in public:
Don’t do it if you’re not sure what the answer will be.
Do discuss the future of your relationship in the privacy of your own home. If you’re going to propose on the JumboTron like this guy, at least make sure you’ve floated the whole marriage idea to your significant other before getting down on one knee. Getting married is a mutual decision. The proposal should not be the first time your significant other finds out you’re thinking about marriage.

+ add your ownBeing 100% sure what the answer will be helps. What helps even more is not being chintzy with the ring in a public proposal.
it really honestly depends on the person ! before you propose to someone you should really understand if there a public or privet person if u dont know tht about them u probably shouldnt even be thinking of proposing
It's touchy. What's wrong with a regular proposal?
Perhaps all people need is courage
My husband proposed to me in a hotel room right after I was gushing about how happy I was to be with him in that moment and I couldn't be happier. Well, he proved me wrong!
sad to see the fails and good to see the positive one; I agree that a proposal should be private and not have comments from the peanut gallery; thank you for this article.
Shouldn't this be one of the most special times in your life? I would think anything would be okay if you knew your partner wanted this and if you knew they would like it: Oh, Chad, how I wish you would propose to me in the food court! Otherwise, I think this should remain a very private moment.
thanks
Oh my, there are some mortifying situations.
PAINFUL! But, truth is, it should probably be discussed before...
