Whitney Caudill: 5 Things to Love About Being Single
Pamela Poole: Talk About a Choking Hazard! What I Never Expected to…
It's a good thing Emily Hawley and Josh Walker aren't in a competitive relationship, or they might be having some issues right now. After beating his GPA by .001 to become the valedictorian of their class at Centenary College, Emily asked Josh onstage at the close of her commencement speech and asked him to marry her. Yeah, get yours, girl! The two have been dating since their sophomore year of high school, and, yes, he said yes. Just try to watch the video without getting a little choked up. Best of luck, Emily and Josh! Make smart babies together!
Enjoy!

I don't care what century we're in, let the man propose! If he wants you, he will be very eager to do so.

Oh, shut the hell up! Didn't look like it bothered her fiance, so why the hell do YOU care?? Don't you know how to just be happy for other people? You sound like the kind of person who is pissed off because no one wants to marry you!!

I agree with you, but I also dislike any public proposal. It puts the asked person in such an uncomfortable position.

For those who need smelling salts to recover from the fact that a woman proposed to a man, oh please. I'd say join the 21st century, but it's more like join the 1980s. You and your quaint notions of what is proper are so outdated. The fact that you can't be happy for two people who, by all appearances, are very much in love ... well, that says more about you than about them.
Mazel tov, Emily and Josh!.I'm 35 ,rich but still single.It's hard to get a girlfriend in my town ,most of them like my money more than like me.Ijust want to find my true love.so i uploaded my hot photos on agelesskiss.c ooom under the name of hot561. a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other..if you girls see this comment,i hope you will check my photos out there.maybe you are the one who i'm looking for!!!

I agree. It gave me the creeps when she proposed. Why do we insist on the feminization of men?

Lech are you a man? If so, eat your heart out. You were probably the one putting some poor girl on hold while you did whatever you wanted and expected her to just sit and wait for you.
If you are a woman, perhaps you didn't have the courage to go after the guy you wanted. Too bad.

I am from Hackettstown, where this college is located. I do not approve of what this girl did. She was totally selfish in her actions. This was an entire class' graduation, their moment to shine and be proud, but she stole the limelight and cast it upon herself and made this stunt the talk of the ceremony . She had no right to use this as an opportunity to be all about her, and her act was selfish and thoughtless, but obvously, all she was thinking about was herself.
I can just guess about the longevity of this marriage should one take place. I doubt Emily can put aside her huge ego in order to make a genuine go of it.

Ruby Slippers, I do agree withyou.It was a CLASS GRADUATION and she got up there and acted like it was her alone who mattered.Why didn't she take Josh to the bloody Dunkin Donuts or to her parents place and propose.Why did she have to be so bloody selfish.And besides...a woman proposing to a man, geez, no wonder these marriages end up in so many divorces.What happened to the good old fashioned man asking woman to marry them.If he wanted you girlfriend he'd propose.Give me a break.When a guy don't engage you its because he doesn't want to so why look DESPERATE and ask him to marry you.That's a sign that you'll always be feeling like you need to "kiss up".I'm did it the old fashioned way, and I won't change a thing.My husband got down on one knee and that's how it should be.Screw modernisation or whatever, if he doesn't want you he won't ask, what is he waiting for??That's what you should ask yourself before YOU ask him to marry you.

I do agree it was an inappropriate time to ask her beau to get married. It was not an event centered around her, but rather one in which she was supposed to be representing her entire graduating class. I wish them well, though.

Ron, that is the truth! I felt very happy for the two of them as they seemed so focused. Thank God, we have a new class with a sense of humor as well as smarts!! Who cares which one asks? God Bless them both!

Step into the sun. Step into the light...Rubyslippers! Those two earned their moment and made your moment special. There is nothing negative going on here except for your petty jealousy!

I agree...she earned the right to make the speech and use the time as she saw fit. I think it was great, way better than some boring speech...why not have some levity at the graduation?

Rubyslippers and Beckii - You talk about doing it the old-fashioned way? Maybe doing it "the old-fashioned way" is why half of all marriages end in divorce, and that has been true for many years! You are bitter, envious women. Why not just shut the hell up and either wish them happiness or say nothing?? This intelligent, accomplished young woman is in love, and wanted to share that with the people she has spent the last 4 years of her life with. The college saw nothing wrong with it, so who the hell are you to complain? Maybe you should both get a life, and spend less time on the internet complaining about how OTHER people live theirs!!!

I actually see both sides to the debate on whether it was proper or tacky to propose on graduation day in front of everyone. It was very sweet, but at the same time it does seem like the day was only about the two of them and they stole the limelight from everyone who was graduating that day. I guess it is not as tacky as people who announce their engagement at somebody's wedding.

I have to admit it was a bit selfish since it was a graduation for the entire class...BUT, let's be honest, if it had been the guy commandering the event to propose would it have caused all the negative comment or just thought to be a a heartfelt, romatic gesture?
Jest asking.

Sorry to all of you who think those who are old fashioned are just petty or jealous. I have to agree, this public proposal was innapropriate for two reasons. First, as a woman, she should have waited for him to ask. Most men would find this emasculating. If he does love her, but isn't quite ready, she has put pressure on him.Second, a public proposal is just a bad idea. The recipient feels obligated to comply. I was proposed to publicly once by the wrong person. it was very embarrassing.By the way, I am not jealous. I am happily married. My husbnad proposed privately, just the two of us, down one knee with a ring and a beautiful opem, the way it should be!
