I do not like the public eye. In retrospect, the time my ex told a mariachi band it was my birthday was a sign that this marriage could not be saved.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I propose, I think I'll have a giant animatronic T-rex do it for me. Luckily, T-rex has small enough hands to handle the ring....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Aims and MM have the most perfectly Aims-and-MM proposal story.
Umm, assuming that was MM in the bar?

tommyrot, will he be stomping on a very small house? Because that would be hi-larious!

Yeah, I think he'd have to be.
But it'd be kind of hard for him to do it during the proposal. I'm not sure if he should stomp on the tiny house before or after the proposal....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I was proposed to first in a bar. I said, "Fuck off. You're drunk."
Then I was proposed to the next day on the plane home. I didn't believe him then, either.
My aunt famously laughed at my uncle and said no when he proposed, because she thought he was kidding.
Then he pulled out the ring.
She changed her answer.

I tend to scoff at romance, but I think deep down I would probably want a little bit of romance (which does not probably equal big public scoreboard nonsense--I'm talking like, formal proposal-y words and champagne type stuff, as opposed to rolling over in bed and saying "so, wanna get hitched?"). Though I suppose I'd probably be just as likely to be the one suggesting it. And I can't really see me making a big production out of it. Though I could see suggesting it in a nice moment that was already happening (like if we were on a nice vacation somewhere or something, as opposed to setting up a whole dinner for the purpose of, if that makes sense) (ah, the problem of equality...)

I've sort of been ruined by Laurie's proposal to Amy in Little Women.
Damn you, Louisa May Alcott!

Now I've got the sniffles, thinking about Laurie's proposal. "I wish we could always pull the same boat together. Will you, Amy?" "Yes, Laurie." Awww!!
(And isn't it pathetic that I can quote that from memory?)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Ooof, that one kills me, too, Steph.
I've decided to grill some sea scallops with butter & garlic, and some sweet corn with butter & brown sugar for dinner.
