I don’t think you’re like me when it comes to marriage proposals. By that I mean that I look at every marriage proposal in the news and analyze it to see what was good about it, bad about it, how interesting it was, who was involved, was it public, or private, etc. One thing that I’ve been noticing that has been happening recently is there have been several wedding proposals in the news that have involved some kind of fear instilled during the proposal process.

One such proposal that you may have heard about involved a guy from Russia faking his own death only to spring back to life to propose to his girlfriend. You can read the full story here .

Yet another proposal involved a pilot pretending there was engine trouble while him and his girlfriend were in the plane he was flying. Another article talks about how he had her read the manual that was actually a marriage proposal.

We even had a guy ask us about using a fake police officer to arrest his girlfriend only to later learn that it was part of a marriage proposal. These types of things have the potential to go drastically wrong because your girlfriend could have a panic attack, call the real authorities, or just be left with a bad memory of the whole situation. She may even say ‘No’ to your proposal because of it.

Fear is NOT Good in a Marriage Proposal

Don’t get me wrong, I love marriage proposals that incorporate new and innovative things. But maybe it’s just the old-school part of me but I don’t think instilling fear into your partner before you propose is a good idea.
