Beyonce Helps A Man Propose
I LOVE this story! What a memorable night for one lucky Beyonce fan!
Beyonce was performing for her 'I Am Sasha Fierce' tour when she shocked the audience by stopping the show to let one man come on stage and propose.
She told the audience, "I'm not sure if production knows about this, but Lindell has something he wants to sing."
Taking the microphone, he said, "Beyonce, you told me if I like
it, I need to put a ring on it," before getting down on bended knee and
presenting his girlfriend with a diamond ring in front of the
20,000-strong crowd.
Stunned speechless, his belle accepted his proposal with a nod
and sealed their engagement with a hug and a kiss as the audience
cheered them on.
I wonder how in the world Lindell arranged that?!? And OMG, what if she had said no! That's the thing about those big public proposals...there's a chance for big time humiliation.
Any INO readers have some great proposal stories to share? Can you top this Beyonce story? HAHA!

I guess when you're alone you can say, "I only accepted your proposal because I didn't want to humiliate you!"
Then again, when a guy (or girl, I suppose!) goes to this much trouble, I'm sure they're quite confident their girl/guy will say yes.

I would certainly hope so! :) But then again, I've never understood the idea of proposing if you aren't really sure your partner is going to accept, anyway.
Some people get funny ideas about their abilities to make a person feel the way they want them to.

Aw, how romantic.
It's nice to see that some people are still romantic, especially President Obama.

Why did you have to bring Obama into a beautiful story and ruin it.
Seriously, WTF does Obama have to do with this? Now I've lost my romantic feeling...
Right after I told my boyfriend/now husband those 3 little words(honey I'm pregnant), he said 'oh what the heck, lets get married'. It's not romantic, but it's all I got. After 15 yrs of marriage and 2 kids, we are still happily married.

The Media (espacially the black???) always wants to show Beyonce in such a bad light because she is hard working and talented. I think this perception is totally wrong and she is actually a nice and kinda down to earth person who appreciates her luck to be in the position she is. It's a sweet gesture she let this guy do this. And yeah I guess u can just say yes and take it back later. Less humilitation but i guess even more painful.

I got the proposal in bed...lol. We were pillow talking about me moving in with him in a couple of months and he blurted out that we should just get married.Not very romantic and the ring came later, but we've been married for 9 years and he's been a great father to my two boys and the one we have together. My first marriage came with the romantic proposal, ring, and all the promises. It lasted about 2 seconds.
6 years ago my current husband gave me a present - an antique ring with a diamond. He got it from his friend that has antiquities shop. We were still dating then (we met 10 years ago on the internet and lived in different countries therefore were travelling back and forth to see each other).
I was at his house in Italy and his mother "scanned me" and immediatelly asked WHAT'S THAT RING? We said to her it was JUST a present. She told that her son is grown up enough to know that THIS kind of ring is for engagement. We shook our sholders and dismissed it.
2 nights after we were in a pizzeria, enjoying a pizza with potatoes, sausage and rosemary plus beer. He asked me to have a look at the ring that his mother was asking about. I took it off, passed to him. He studied it, then started putting it back to my finger... Looked at me and asked "are you my fiancee" (exact translation)?
Piece of pizza stuck in my throat :) What could I say?? YES!
It was really unexpected and sweet

That's better than the common "baseball game monitor" proposal.

Such a sweet gesture. She does seem to be a genuine person who's down to earth. Great story to tell kids and grandkids for the engaged couple.

I don't like the idea of a public proposal... Keep it kinda private :)

I agree about public proposals! My husband proposed while on vacation at his grandfather's house in Italy, just the two of us. It was much more personal and meaningful that way :)

My husband proposed on my birthday trip to Vegas... Just as the Bellagio water show was starting, he handed me this shoe box that was wrapped, and when I opened it there was another box wrapped, and so on and so on, and people were getting curious so they gathered around, then when I got to the ring box and opened it, there was a little light inside it that just made the diamond sparkle so perfectly and he said "Sarah Kelly will you marry me?" And he didn't hear me say "YES!" because the crowd that had gathered just started cheering and clapping which gathered more people, but he knew I accepted because i couldn't stop crying and smiling... and our friend got the whole thing on video. I love watching it again and again..... :-)

We were watching an outdoor concert and my now husband turned around out of the blue and said "Will you marry me". We got the singer to sign his shirt from that night and we still have it. Got the ring later. It was very sweet because it was unplanned and totally from the heart.

i guess this is her way of redemption for being such a diva
I know someone who proposed during a Neil Gaiman book signing. He contacted Gaiman and asked for the author's help. So he and his girl lined up to have their books signed. When it was already their turn, Gaiman wrote on the girl's book, "Will you marry Jason?" or something like that. Jason kneeled and offered the ring. Very cool. I love Neil Gaiman. :D

My hubby took me on a private picnic, and bought Chinese food. We ate, had wine, then when I opened my fortune cookie, out fell a ring, and my fortune read "will you spend the rest of your life with me?" was so sweet!
