People place a lot of expectations on how their proposal is going to pan out. Buying a ring and asking someone to be your husband or wife is a big deal and takes a lot of courage. But when it goes wrong… or they say no, you have to be able to laugh about it (even if it’s years later)! Check out these five awkward proposals!

Washed away

Even though they almost got washed out to sea, she does seem really happy when she stands up! We’ll give this one five stars for effort.

Will ukelele marry me?

Ow. I feel like that’s a no?

Shut down

Probably a no, too. We’re not having much luck here, guys.  Perhaps you should read this.
