ITT: People who don't understand the difference between the proposal and the marriage.
It's perfectly acceptable, and even encouraged, to do corny shit for the proposal. Do you think every fucker just gets on one knee at a fancy restaurant with a Tiffany ring box? You know what that tells people? You know what that tells the girl? That you're one boring motherfucker whose idea of romance is generic as hell and to never expect another romantic surprise from you ever again because you just used up the last vestiges of your creativity.
Now during the WEDDING if you do this shit it's pretty fucking sad. Even if you both enjoy it, the fact is your wedding is not normally, unless you elope, a private affair between the two of you. The wedding incorporates your entire family, and your parents, siblings, and other relatives probably don't want to be exposed to your dumb nerd shit, and the experience will just be very uncomfortable for everyone who doesn't get all your sick, witty references.
I hope this explanation into the mysterious world of relationships and romance clears things up for you all.
