Wedding Proposals Gone Wrong (VIDEO)

It's summer, the time for weddings! A few of my friends are getting married this summer and fall, so lately I've been thinking about this time-honored tradition. However, it wasn't until I ran across this compilation on Buzzfeed that I realized the plan does not always go perfectly, the ending is not always happy. So, for those of you thinking about popping the big question, I urge you to check out the videos below, which chronicle the terrible moments when that huge decision you've made turns out to be poorly planned or the wrong decision entirely. Make sure you don't up like these poor souls.

WATCH: (more videos here.)

Man proposes on live TV and does not receive the response he's looking for.

This is not the player's fault; this reporter is just an idiot.

This one had such potential! Alas.

The silence at the end of this is almost too painful.

I don't want to totally bring you down, so let's end on one that's just a huge success.

I couldn't disagree more with those who object to high profile public proposals.

Marriage a degrading institution designed to oppress sexuality while turning men into drones, women into zombies, and children into monsters.

To begin it all with a supremely stupid act of consummately bad taste is simply truth in advertising.

The third one from the top looks staged... Yet, this is often that has happened often and the thing is, if you are willing to put someone on the spot like this, you have to accept that public humiliation is part of the equation.

Agreed. Season 2 of The Office had the exact same gag, when Michael Scott proposed to Carol at Diwali.

No matter how much I loved a man, if he proposed to me in public like that, not only would I not marry him, I would seriously consider that the relationship itself was deeply flawed. If he didn't know me better than to put me on the spot like that, then we had, somewhere along the line, a serious lack of communication and understanding.

#2 and #3 are fake. #4 is Improve Everywhere or some similar group. There are so many bad proposals on YouTube that are real, better research next time please. Lame article Nick Graham.

Jesus. The first one was the worst. The second-hand embarrassment was almost unbearable.

Not everyone can have cancer either.

Let's all go fight for the right to the spiritual equivalent of a brain tumor.
