The Gender Paradox In India
Barbara Gordon: The Envy That Took Me By Surprise
Here at Lemondrop, we're suckers for a good proposal story (heck -- we'll even take a bad one).So, clearly we were all a-swoon when we heard about one man's incredibly romantic airport proposal.
John Kilpatrick of Duluth, Ga., knew that his girlfriend of two years, Erin, was flying home to Dallas for the holidays. So he decided to book a flight that left immediately before hers so he could surprise her by showing up at the gate -- and getting down on one knee.
While that seemed like a great plan on its own, a few people wanted to make it even more special. When John told the agent at the ticket counter about his plan, the agent, pilot and flight attendant who would be on Erin's flight all wanted in on the plan. "It became far more people than I expected," he told Atlanta's WXIA.
Once Erin's plane landed, the pilot got on the PA and told her to stay on board while everyone else exited. And as soon as she was the sole, confused passenger, John entered, walked to his girlfriend's row and proposed. She later admitted to him that she didn't even know what he said but just saw him kneeling, she quickly said yes.
"As we got off the plane, everyone was clapping and applauding. And I asked her about it later, and she doesn't remember what I even said," Kilpatrick told WXIA. The perfect ending to one undeniably perfect proposal.

...Seriously, people on this site can't read a good story without turning it into a political debate and blaming the government for the shit they do.
This guy proposed in a way that was romantic, yet it looks to me like the rest of you just want an excuse to complain about YOUR problems with the government. This is a story about HIS PROPOSAL. Not YOUR DAMN PROBLEMS. If you want to make it a story about your problems, then do something huge to get a story. If not then SHUT.UP.
Just read the story, say you thought it was cute, it was over the top, ridiculous, anything BESIDES a political rant.
K, thanks

This is my proposal to my beautiful woman.
I was calling Bingo at a local lodge in Barstow California in 1996. Denise sat in the non-smoking room and I called bingo from the smoking area. At entermission I called her up to the front for a belated birthday present. I got down on one knee and took her hand. I said that I am the man your mother warned you about. Didn't she tell you NOT to pick up men of the road, take them home and give them a meal. Well, you didn't listen. Will you marry me?
She said NO. I thought all of the people around me were going to stone her with their bingo daublers. So, I pulled out the box and opened it. I said, Now what do you say? She looked at the ring and me and said YES!. Everyone cheered. I told them that I had another gift for her. I gave her a bouquet of 6 red roses and 6 white carnations in a vase. I then told her that "I'm not going to call any of your numbers tonight. She retorted with you haven't called my numbers the first half of the evening.
This is a true story as I left Couth Carolina in March of 1993 and arrived in California 5 days later and left a little piece of paper in her door saying "Got to move the truck - will be right back". The next morning she got into her car and went up Barstow Road and over the freway she saw this bum with a cup of coffee and donut in the other. Yes, that was me!! She took me home, gave me a hot meal and found work in a week. I still love her as much today as in 1993 and we just celebrated our 13 anniversary.

What country do you live in? Nothing but blame for Bush is on the flag burning American hating apologist networks like MSLSD......tell me the last time Obama was criticized on the media, date, chanel, periodical and the author of speaker. I'll start watching that!
By the way do you even know if Obama subsribes to a "Supply Side" economics theory or a "Demand Side" economics policy..I didn't think so

Such a "wonderful piece" to share in this depressed & hectic life. Congratulation to the lovely couple.
Sad that an uplifting story like this triggers sociopaths with narcissist mentality to waste time with negative comments here. Then one wonders why rats want to blow planes off. You losers’ – go join the Taliban and share your misery attitudes in the mountains...

You know I find it offensive that you have people here giving someone shit for misspelling a word. I mean to say "a third grader knows that... blah blah..." I have a 20 year old son. He has learning disabilities. He's a awesome kid, but can't spell for shit and he takes awhile to formulate his words to articulate them properly. I am sick of people making others feel like shit or that their "stupid" because they simply don't spell perfectly. That's nothing more then being the local bully. Its childish bu11shit. Knock it off!!! Stick to the story and leave people's spelling/grammer alone. Damn!

I was proposed to on a Southwest flight from Texas to Florida! The flight crew and passengers made it even more special with the applause, the champagne toast and wedding cake put together by the flight crew! The Captain took time to congratulate us too! We've been happily married and forever treasure the memories of the our engagement! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH AND BEST WISHES IN YOUR FUTURE TOGETHER!
