Thinking of proposing to someone in public? Read this and reconsider
If you’re thinking about proposing to your better half in public, maybe you should think again after reading this story about a public proposal at an ice rink which is both heartbreaking and deeply cringeworthy…
So in 2007 I think we went ice skating at Somerset house. We had somehow managed to get a slot right before christmas.

Before you go onto the ice rink, you can stand around the edge and watch the session before you. There were about 100 ppl there.

As the session ends – I am not kidding – all the lights go out, music goes off, and a spotlight appears in the centre of the ice.

The guy skates his girlfriend (i hope) to the spotlight and gets down on one knee.
Thankfully he was too far away for us to hear anything.— Black Peppercorn (@FindusPancake) August 15, 2016
There was absolute silence, it was excruciating. Then she violently shook her head and skated away. He was just kneeling there in the ice.

Then, inexplicably, I've Had The Time Of My Life starts playing over the speakers. I AM NOT JOKING HERE.

Then nothing happens for an eternity. She's just gone.

Then the stewards come on and usher everyone off the ice, and we go on and skate for an hour like nothing happened.
