WTF is up with proposing in... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Imhotep | January 4, 2007 8:08 AM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
WTF is up with proposing in public/front of your family? Do these guys need to shame their girls into saying 'yes'?!
This guy must have some kind of power/ego issue and/or is incredibly insecure.

Is Trotter's the same place which Carter rented for the evening so he could fail to propose to Abby Lockhart?
