Save money by proposing at the same time

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 51 points 6 months ago (2 children)

As far as I can tell, only one of them is actually proposing and has a ring while the others are about to get a really rude awakening.

True, that's how the comic works. I was spinning it further

Or the others will just have 4 awkward conversations

dropship proposals

We saw a man propose to his wife in a cute way. There was a person playing music and he got on his knees. She said yes and people were being supportive.

Then I got down on my knee and proposed to my wife (again). My wife said no and walked away.

I then quietly left the area to the awkward strangers, turned the corner to find my wife laughing at me.

See, a skywriter is a guy who gets paid to write messages in the sky with a plane's exaust. It's not so much a thing anymore, but it used to be the type of thing you'd see in movies.

So this guy does that, on a beach, and proposes to his girlfriend. Meanwhile the other 4 couples can also see the message on account of how skies work. But those other 4 guys had no intention of proposing that day. So now they're on a beach, their girlfriends are excited for something that isn't coming, meanwhile the couple in yhe middle IS having a proposal.

Oh I didn't see the plane XD. I thought it was just what they were all saying

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 6 months ago

Very much a thing if you live near a municipal airport, much less a thing if you don't.

And topless, and probably has a huge cock

Or maybe a vagina
