Oh, that was cool.
It was hard. Okay. The prompt was bad proposals. Proposals gone wrong.
Yes.
But oh my Lord. I mean, this is like tied with that crazy bear attack or shark attack. This goes some places.
It really builds this one.
It just gets more and more intense.
Yeah.
And then the last one is a nail biter. Wow. Wow. This is a banger.

Chapter 2: How did a Valentine's Day chat lead to a proposal story?
So now I have to call my parents because originally we were going to go home to Pennsylvania for Christmas. I was going to pick the ring up. I thought I had the perfect plan. So now I have to ask them to ship the ring back through the mail. So now they put it in another vanilla envelope.
Jeez.
ship the ring back through the mail i can't send it to my house because she might open it so i gotta send it to a friend's house now so i'm not even receiving this thing again the ring gets here unscathed usps whatever it is good job so now i adjust the plan a little bit because we live in montana beautiful state about an hour away there's like a nice mountain near us so i plan a little weekend and
that we're going to go to that mountain. So it's Friday morning of the engagement weekend. And I'm texting in this New Year's Eve group chat. And I sent a text that's like, hey, I'm going to get engaged this weekend. You guys happy for me or what? And the next thing I see pop up is Tess was removed from the group chat.
Oh, she was on.
Oh, Jesus. One of my friends had added her to the group chat because she was so upset that she wasn't being included in these plans. And the next text I get is what the hell did you just do? And I look at my phone and I'm at work and I just scream, fuck. Oh, no. Everybody's dead silent. So I work kind of in a high risk business. So everybody thinks something really bad happened.
You could hear a pin drop because we've had really bad days. My boss comes over to me and he's like, what the hell just happened? And I kind of tell him and he says, go home. And I don't want to see you until Monday. Get your shit sorted out.
Oh, good boss. That is a good boss. But he was upset.
Yep. So I got about four hours until she gets home from work. I'm doing the whole nine. I'm getting flowers. I'm getting chocolates. I'm trying to set everything up at home. And then I remember she wants it recorded. So I go and I try and set up the camera. My video on my phone is not working. Oh, boy. Quick troubleshooting. Find the first number for a remote Apple support. Call it.

Chapter 3: What went wrong with Cole's proposal plan?
Nobody knows where we are.
This is a horror movie.
I'm kind of laughing because I'm so nervous. Like I'm having fight or flight, but freeze, I guess. Yeah. I look at Paul. He doesn't look nervous about them. He's like afraid of me in the moment. Oh, no.
He did not.
Did you do this? Oh, I wasn't there. He planned it. He was totally in love. Oh, my. Oh my God.
That's spectacular.
He kneels down and pulls the ring out. We're still surrounded.
Oh, pictures.
It's so scary.
