The Slice

Public wedding proposals: Yes or no?

You know, the orchestrated Jumbotron performances or other spectacle-like presentations of engagement rings?

Personally, I do not admire the impulse that leads guys to set up these circus proposals. But I am aware that some people who must have been dropped as infants regard these attention-seeking stunts as romantic and sweet.

In my view, that's a moment for two people and just two people. Not a stadium full of strangers, half of whom are hammered.

Thoughts?
