Woman rejects ballpark marriage proposal

[almaty 19]

You know things are wrong in Astro-land when even a wedding proposal can't go off smoothly.

During Monday night's 7-0 loss to the Nationals at Minute Maid Park, a fan failed in his public attempt at asking his girlfriend to marry him, the Houston Chronicle reported on its Web site.

With the couple on display on the stadium's jumbotron, the male fan got down on one knee to present the ring. The woman, wearing a replica Astros jersey, appeared to dump a bag of popcorn on the man before hastily making her way up the stairs amid a chorus of boos, the newspaper reported.

The man left after the top of the sixth inning, cheered and consoled by an apparently sympathetic crowd.

"If it was an act, she put on a good one," Astros manager Phil Garner was quoted as saying after the game. "She looked totally surprised and then totally mad. We couldn't even get a proposal right down here tonight.

"We lead the league in marriage proposals, and we couldn't get that one right tonight."

He probably won't be pulling that stunt again.

No kidding...or just forget about staging it...instead focus on the relationship so you have a good idea whether or not she'll say 'yes'.

That is why marriage proposals should be private! What's worse, being embarrassed, or her accepting a proposal due to peer pressure?

but if you think you are ready to propose, you SHOULD know whether your intended would be up for such a public display.

It's just like car chases...once the local news stops covering this #######, it will lose its appeal.

Maybe that was the idea? To pressure her into accepting the proposal?
