There are creative, romantic proposals, and then there's this one.

Lee Loechler recently proposed to his girlfriend, Sthuthi David, by taking her to a packed theater to see her favorite movie, Sleeping Beauty. Little did she know that Loechler had spent six months altering the animation of the film's most iconic scene, changing the characters to look like the couple themselves and altering the storyline to set up his Big Question. And that's only the beginning.

The set-up is great, but the magical moment when Loechler's illustrated self tosses the engagement ring to his real-life self? That's when we all toss up our hands and say, "OKAY, man. You win at proposing. Everyone else must bow before you now."

Some reddit user comments

"Welp this guy went and did it, theres no point in any of us proposing now he's out done us all." - XXLpeanuts

"I was just gonna propose to my girlfriend in the Starbucks parking lot where I first told her I loved her. Welp, that ain't gonna do anymore..." - mattrva

"I proposed to my wife in front of Disney Castle in Orlando and I've never felt less proud about it than after watching this video lol. For real though this is one of the best proposals I've ever seen, bravo." - thenaniwatiger

Makes you think about all those aircraft and shopping mall and billboards and fake police arrest proposal, don't it?

How did you propose to your lady?

She was in another state at that time. I had always wanted to propose to whomever I get married to with one of the rings of power. Had a friend purchase it from Jens Hansen and send it down. Travelled to see her within a week of recieving it (a big deal for me as I don't travel well and she knows that). Got to her room and when she was looking the other way brought it out and asked.

Kinda simple. Except for the ring.

But prior to that time I had NEVER mentioned marriage to her. I made conscious effort to do that. I always intended to marry within 6 months whoever I asked. So I wasn't going to be flippant with such words.

Edit: She was blown away, by the way. Much more than she expected or hoped for.

Come and go and beat me na!

Proposals are mushy and romantic but it's not for 'real men'. Be nice to your woman, treat her right so much that she'll be the one asking when you're going to put a ring on it.

No matter how you love her, let her show eagerness to want to be with you. Eventually, when you are ready, get a ring and tell her 'let's get married '. All those stupid drama are for wussies.

No wonder many women who are not keen on marrying a man are forced to say yes so as not to make the guy feel bad or they just say yes because it's expected of them.

And when you "treat her right" but have no intention of marrying her, and she begins to ask you to "put a ring on it", then what?

One very terrible thing I have done in the past
I was introduced to a man and we started having a thing. After some time he proposed to me on a dinner date at a then exclusive restaurant in my city and I said yes. He took me to meet his mother and family later that night. I was already bawling and bailing in my mind (his joy when I said yes was weird for then me)

So after he dropped me home, he called me and said I had made him so happy and etc. He hung up and I slept, or mostly tried to. That was the last time I picked his call/calls ,
I don’t know what happened to him.
I have not thought about this in ages.
If I knew his whereabouts now, I would apologise to him. I hope he is very happy wherever he is.

Damn. That was cold!

LewsTherin:

To think I have not made any effort to look for him and say sorry after all these years is even colder. I even blanked this totally. The thread made me remember it.
Even if I wanted to say sorry, I don’t even know how to find him.
Well at least I know what I did was wrong. I guess it counts

He did all that...I apologized to the person that introduced us, after some months, I just remembered this
I don’t remember how this played out at home at all. Maybe I lied and told them he left for the US?
Seriously I really don’t remember. He was meant to come meet my family that next day I believe. He didn’t live in my city but had a house in it.

Why did you stop picking his call/cut off all communications?

There must a reason.

If you don't want to answer, it's fine.

This is better
Over time, I have come to realise how much I value my freedom
Marriage (to me) always felt like a trap...the worst imaginable type at that...that robs me of my being. I feel people should get married if they must, after they have lived.
The wedding that loomed always found a way to spoil things. I used to dabble and go close, then bail, and many people got hurt as a result...but at least my intent had never been to hurt them. I was just discovering myself. I also learnt to date people without ties to my family- it was always easier to cut loose....etc
But yeah, that’s basically it
My close friends feel I am a commitmentphobe...and can sabotage whatever I have going, no matter how good, if it came to marriage. They maybe right or not...but I know I basically would “irrationally” feel some pity/scorn for marriages here especially if I feel they settled in any kind of way..etc. Early and virgin marriages are also on this plate of mine. Then when people endure and manage marriage in the myriad of ways I see and read to “make it work” it just heightens my worst suspicions about marriage

I saw a thread you posted to sisis about bobos and I felt unimaginable horror (shuddered thru it all). So you may not understand me the way I do not understand you...I think it’s still fine
