From cheesy tattoos to death-defying pranks… are these the 11 worst marriage proposals ever?
Whatever happened to getting down on one knee?
When it comes to marriage proposals, it now seems there's no limit to the lengths some men will go to for a 'yes', or the amount of money they're willing to spend.
But some ladies aren't so lucky when their man pops the question.
These cringe-worthy proposals will have you hiding behind your hands - and thinking the 'ring in the cake' technique is the height of romance.
1. The cheesy one
Paired with a cheeky Domino's, how could she possibly refuse?
2. The one where he fakes his own death
This man decided to give his girlfriend the fright of her life before his OTT proposal.
3. The one in a toilet
Clearly overcome with romance, this man got down on one knee in a public toilet. There's no time like the present, right?
4. The public one
This man put together an elaborate proposal complete with Mexican singers and dozens of excited spectators. Unfortunately, his girlfriend wasn't impressed and said no.
5. The VERY public one
When your boyfriend proposes in the middle of a packed basketball arena, there's really no way to let them down gently. Instead, this poor woman walks awkwardly off the court, much the amusement of the players.
6. The permanent one
This Casanova was clearly confident he was going to get a 'yes'.
7. The one using...cattle
Not quite as extreme as tattooing it on your own body, how about branding a cow for the ultimate romantic proposal?
8. The airline intercom one
This woman sits awkwardly in her seat as the most romantic moment of her life is broadcast to the entire plane. It's one way to get some free champagne.
9. The one where she fears for her life
This man got his friends to wear balaclavas and pretend to kidnap his girlfriend before he came to her rescue.
10. The one with the help of Jeremy Kyle
This Jeremy Kyle guest casually offered his girlfriend an engagement ring, shortly before he was revealed to have cheated on her. Miraculously, she said no.
11. The vandalism one
Let's hope the lucky lady accepted, and the 'no' was just another vandal looking for LOLs.
Your own proposal may or may not live up to your expectations, but just be glad you aren't one of these unlucky women.
