Sheer Awesome Video: Marriage Proposal Frozen In Time
Video via Urlesque
I’d love to make fun of this, really I would, if someone could just….hand me…a tissue…
OK, I admit it: This proposal is awesome! The video may be long, but it’s totally worth seeing how the plan all comes together. Plus, it’s a couple that met on Match.com, is attractive AND not completely crazy? For reals? I thought those didn’t exist. I guess I’ll take their commercials a little more seriously now.

I can’t be the only person thinking about what would have happened if she’d said no…… exactly how long would they still have needed to be frozen for? Five minutes? Closing time? Until Michael kills himself in a fit of despair?
Yeah, I was wondering about that, too.
Pretty damn awesome!!
did he really say he is dirty four years old?
He said 34, he has an accent.
I feel my allergies acting up. So darn dusty in here…
*sniff*
He said “Thirty-four,” he has an accent though so it was a little hard to make out.
Also, this was so beautiful, I teared up just a little. <3
OMG I cried when he clicked his fingers! Such a nice way to propose and it really felt like time stood still!
i know would’nt it be awsome if my bf did that
Awww…I love WeTV wedding stuff
I wish I had TV so I could watch too lol.
Okay, I usually don’t like the over the top theatrical crap, but this one got me misty!
Awwwwwww!!! I totally teared up when he snapped his fingers. What a great moment that these folks were able to help him create!
I think this was quite an original proposal in all honesty. Refreshing really. Original to their relationship, but such a beautiful moment. How surprised she must have felt when everyone froze-*sigh.
If people need help to plan their proposal, there’s something wrong with their relationship. Proposals are out of date, anyway. Couples should be making the decision to marry together.
Couples generally do make the decision to marry together but that still doesn’t mean the guy can’t propose to the girl in some sort of romantic way. There are plenty of ways for a guy to figure out if you want to get married without actually having to sit down and decide together. I actually think it would be rather unexciting and unromantic to sit down and say lets get married and then that be the end of it and start planning a wedding.
A wedding proposal is not my idea of romance and, frankly, totally unoriginal in whatever form. It’s totally outdated and sexist. And don’t get me started on weddings. Total waste of money. Same with engagement rings.
Why are you even on this site? Go wave your crap elsewhere.
i don’t ever want to be friends with someone like you
Well, that’s fine and dandy that that’s your opinion, but you know what? Not everyone feels that way. So let it be, especially since this truly IS such a beautiful moment in the video.
And clue? If you dislike weddings, proposals, and engagement rings so much? I would recommend not cruising this site.
I was wondering why she came here as well. I think she was just looking for an excuse to bitch.
You are on the wrong website then.
Good luck with your cats in your dowager years.
It’s sexist? really? Just wow… seriously? ….for one, it’s not always the guy who proposes these days, but regardless of that, you are just ignorant. Making your significant other happy is sexist? I don’t know how to deal with people like you who claim every little action between a man and woman is sexist…
ok miss negative. what kind of shitty proposal did you have or none?
besides, usually couples are sure about the way the other person feels… so it kinda is a decision you make together.
1) An elaborate proposal needs planning, and if he’s not a planning kind of guy, why shouldn’t he get help? You wouldn’t build a house on your own, would you?
2) We decided together to get married, and he still proposed. Nothing this elaborate, but he knew what would make me tear up, and what would be unexpected. Why? Because he loved me and he knew I would like it. He didn’t HAVE to. He also didn’t have to ask my father for permission, but he did- because he knew it would mean a lot to my dad.
Sometimes people do stuff just cause they love each other.
Goddamn you Wedinator! I read you to laugh not to get choked up!
This was fantastic though. I love it.
Dust. Eye. Damn it.
Couldn’t stop the planes flying in the sky though, could you? Guess your clicky finger magic has a limited range. This is how we will defeat you.
That was incredible!
I dunno about the long-term prospects of this marriage. The way she had her arms crossed in front of her as he was walking up to her to propose shows a certain resistance. She seemed almost exasperated with him. She did not seem all that surprised when the room froze. She seemed embarassed. It was a great idea and the guy seems genuinely in love but I think the way pressure is put on men to make the proposal a big deal (when most women know the guy is going to propose soon anyway) is ridiculous. It bothers me that so much in society these days is meant to be “showbiz” — you gotta have the big wedding, big proposal, “perfect” creative and rare baby name etc. It used to be people had traditions in their community that they followed – but now it’s like people don’t have any authentic identity or local culture and our ideas of who we are come from tv and movies.
And we have another amateur psychologist who read a book about body language. Yes, sometimes it tells something, but sometimes people crosses their arms because they don’t know what to do. In my view, you can much better look at facial expressions (smiles and glances can’t be faked). It seems like she knew what was coming and it still came as a surprise (well, I’ve never seen people freezing like that).
Best of luck to them. Don’t know if its forever or not, but at that moment they were happy and willing to dedicate their lives and love to each other.
Cosign!
Sorry, that was “cosign” at Kita, not at Patrick.
Aww, sounds like someone is jealous.
Yeah, I thought she seemed completely unimpresssed and kinda peeved. You can’t tell me she didn’t know something was up. She didn’t even look around at the other ppl like “WTH?” Maybe they didn’t show us all the times he’s done “magic tricks” to impress her, hahaha. And, yeah, when men propse in a public setting, the pressure is ON to say yes or make him look like an idiot.
Sorry Folks, I’m with Patrick. She was embarrassed to not be ‘in’ on whatever it was, yes. But did you also see the way she kept turning towards him? ANd the playing with the hair (brushing it back)? and the blushing? and that she leaned TOWARD him when he knelt? If you’re going to be an amateur body reader, read the whole body!
I have been proposed to 4 times in my life, and never had such a sweet, loving proposal. Maybe it is time for ME to do the proposing.
I saw a few people blinking, and one person moved their entire body. They’ll never work in showbiz again…
Who the hell gave this a thumbs down?
My guess is the will-be-single-for-life people who’ve been commenting similarly. Meanwhile, the rest of us who ARE happily married, did the romantic mushiness, and are still in love with our spouses will be enjoying the rest of our day after this video.
She was feeling shy as the center of attention, but I think her whispered, “I love you” was very sincere. I loved it.
@TeakLipstickFiend”: a lot of couples do make the decision together and still have a proposal. Pretty much everyone I know that’s gotten engaged/is going to soon has discussed it first, but there’s always a story of how the offical proposal went. Practicality says you should discuss it first, but romance says you should still have a special moment to make it offical.

Wow… such negativity. It speaks volumes for those of you who would say such things.
This was beautiful, sweet, and yeah, from a woman who isn’t big on marriages… this had me a bit misty. There’s nothing wrong with planning something like this, something she’d never forget.
yeah i agree wif u, why is every1 so negative? i think its sad no one can jus be happy for someone other themselves for lik a few seconds…
So you’re saying if you don’t receive a big, fancy proposal in front of loads of strangers you’d forget it?
TLF, you are completely missing the point of all of it, as your other posts indicate.
Actually, let me amend that. You’re deliberately refusing to acknowledge the point because in your mind, it’s stupid and therefore anyone who does still do the classic surprise proposal is equally stupid.
She never said that. You took her words and twisted them. Planning a proposal is important, because the woman WON’T ever forget a good proposal. However, if you just talk about it and decide to get married, that’s something a woman could forget.
Thanks for making all of our proposals look like crap in comparison.
Did anyone notice the entire Left Behind book series on their bookshelf during the interview segment? Bunch of evangelical whackos.
LOL… maybe she thought is was the rapture!
Spoken like a judgmental idiot.
I met my awesome, attractive, non-crazy boyfriend on match.com and we had our first date at Loreley three years ago!
I normally think that elaborately staged public proposals are kind of lame, but this one was so sweet. Something in my eye…
Gawddamnit, I totally thought I would be immune! There’s just so much dust in here.
Sure, the idea was awesome, but the proposal itself SUCKED.
“Hi, how are you?” ? Really?
Yeah, great idea, but he wasn’t the best with words, haha.
But I think that awkwardness was a bit more personal than something prescripted (made up a word apparently). To me it meant his emotions were as raw as they could get.
He’s a Time Lord! Honeymoon via Tardis!
Love the Doctor Who reference. I don’t think she’s River Song, though…
I wanna marry the brunette. Seriously … whoa.
In all seriousness, they have BUSINESSES
agreed. brunette ftw!
I wanna marry the brunette. Seriously … whoa.
In all seriousness, they have BUSINESSES dedicated to setting up wedding proposals now? Honestly, it kind of takes the creativity out of it when you pay someone to set it up for you.
Ditto!! Oooh, how romantic that you whipped out your checkbook.
Well, it was still Michael’s idea.
Cool proposal and all…but damn, that Diana girl is HOT.
Wow. That is the most epic proposal ever.
i totally agree
Lame. Okay I’m a girl and I would never want such a big hoopla. Proposals should be sweet and intimate. Just seems like a waste of money and draws too much attention. Propose and then go out for beer. Done
*sniffle*
I also teared up when he snapped his fingers. Didn’t think I would, figured I was going to roll my eyes but no….
To those that say it’s ridiculous to have an elaborate proposal, he wanted to do something special for her. It’s not for everyone but it was for them.
Good for Michael! He’s a great guy and a friend of mine, and deserves happiness!
I’ve seen a lot of proposals in my time, and this man really knew his girlfriend. I envision a long and happy marriage for them. I got chills when the room froze. It was just too cool!!
wow, i hope if i ever propose to someone i can find a tv station to send some ridiculously hot, well-endowed ‘relationship expert’ to show up practically topless and help me plan it….
All that set up and then he’s a bit awkward/creepy with the execution of proposal… and then he just blurts it out?? Yes… I know he was nervous. They should have helped him come up with some words like… “When we first met, I knew you were the one for me… time stood still and I wanted to be lost in that moment forever… with you… ” See… that took me a few seconds to think of… still a cool idea though… Also, not sure why this is a wedinator… :-p
Agreed, they should have worked on his speech and tied it in with the stopping time thing. Still, his blurting was kinda sweet. In the midst of all that artificial set-up, when the moment came the guy was being himself.
Well, when the moment comes, all words you have planned fade away from your mind.
I had worked on a pseudo proposal before I wanted to propose but when the moment came I couldn’t remember half of it, surely because of the stress.
I agree his speech was not at the level of the rest of the proposal but I with all the people and the cameras, I totally understand that he was out of (good) words
That’s why I wrote my proposal down, and had it with me in my jacket pocket.
Glad I did, because the moment that I knelt down and looked into my wife-to-be’s eyes – I went COMPLETELY blank. Not. a. word.
I smoothly took the speech out and read it!
[...] bad, Barrie, but DID YOU STOP TIME? Incorrect source or offensive?Tags:graffiti, proposal, [...]
Improv Everywhere FTW!!!!
Yes! I was wondering if anyone else got that!
That’s exactly what I was thinking! Michael mentioned an online video where everyone froze. I think that’s what he was talking about.
That so-called relationship expert is just a slut.
Teared up a little bit. Not going to lie.
My husband and I met on match.com and have been married 6 years. It saddens me that people have to be so negative and try to take away from someone else’s beautiful moment.
Awwww, this is so sweet. If I ever fall in love, I hope my guy proposes to me in a special way.
My dad and his new wife also met on match.com – why do people have such unjust prejudice about it?
He is so creative and sweet!

sometimes you need somebody to bounce ideas off of — and help getting the resources together. Given that he picked out the ring, he had the say on the clothes, and he could have nixed any of this or made suggestions at any time, that’s hardly what I would call ‘just whipping out the checkbook’.
