The Old Marriage Proposal on the Side of a Bus


Boston Globe - Laura Kalamets looked out a Canton restaurant window during a Valentine's Day lunch with her boyfriend and saw a public bus with an ad on its side that read: "Laura, Will You Marry Me?" It was signed "Mark" and included in smaller letters the words "and make me the happiest man in the world."
Kalamets says she thought she'd have a heart attack. Mark Rose paid the transit agency $300 for the special ad and arranged for the bus to be parked in the right spot around noon on Monday.


Son of a bitch stole my move, back to the drawing board I guess.

Just a timeless, classy proposal few woman (or at least woman of Ohio) can resist. Ranks right up there with jumbotron proposals, 7th inning stretch proposals, co-ed cellmate proposals, and the always popular, "oh shit you're pregnant" proposal in the history books. Just shy of the "so what if we're cousins, when you know, you know" proposal.

PS: Anyone else get the feeling that the $300 dollars for the add space was more than double the cost of the ring he got her?
