Planning on proposing on V-Day? Don't do this...
Emine Saner on why things don't always go to plan on Valentine's night
A couple of years ago, David Thorneycroft was managing a restaurant in Liverpool's city centre when Valentine's night came around. "A woman was going to propose to her boyfriend and she had arranged everything in advance with us," he says. This wasn't going to be a subtle bended knee approach - she was planning to jump out of a giant cake, wearing nothing but lingerie. "She had made sure there was somewhere to hide the cake, we had discussed the layout of the restaurant and made sure we sat him with his back to where she was going to come from."
During the meal, she went off to get changed - or rather, undressed - and Thorneycroft and a waiter wheeled the huge (fake) cake out to his table. In front of 120 diners, to the tune of "their song", she burst out of it as confetti flew everywhere, and asked him to marry her. "He didn't say a word," recalls Thorneycroft. "There was not a speck of emotion on his face. He just got up and walked out. She was standing there, in her underwear, in this giant cake with confetti all around her. It was just awful. For a few seconds, nobody knew what to do." They got her out of the room so she could get dressed. "The atmosphere in the restaurant was quite subdued after that," says Thorneycroft. "You should only propose somewhere so public if you're 100% positive the person is going to say yes," he says, adding, "though she was sure he'd say yes."
I didn't read the rest of the article, I just thought that was extremely funny. I would pay to have been there to witness that.

You have to feel kinda bad for the woman, but that is pretty funny.

If SHE was the one proposing that should have been a pretty good indication that he might not say yes...

Well that actually a lesson to not propose with an audience. People think it might be romantic but putting people in a situation where they have to say yes is not good... even if they want to 100%.
As far as proposing on v-day I agree that is a no-no as well. I'd never propose on a holiday. Mainly because it's such an important day that no one should wrap it up into another special day. It sort of deminishes things. Plus it looks like you cheaped out because you didn't want to buy a ring as well as v-day present. LOL Trust, girls sometimes think that.
If my gf jumps out of a cake in lingerie she'd probably be able to talk me into just about anything in that moment. :)

I'd agree with that. I know some people may not mind and even like it, but I personally wouldn't like that either.
