You've been planning it for months. You've got the perfect ring. You've practiced your speech in the mirror. All of her friends are super excited for you. Even her dad offered his begrudging permission. You're going to ask her to marry you and the world has never seemed so bright.
So you propose to the woman of your dreams, the one.
And then cruel Fortune steps in and raises her hand to crush your dreams... or at least make them more interesting.
There are no guarantees in love and no matter how much courage you gather or how well you think you know your significant other, you can never be really sure that everything you've planned won't simply be destroyed by the spinning wheel of fortune or by a heart that sees a different path altogether.
Witness love's carnage.
1. He certainly swept her off her feet.

Actually, this one turned out okay. See the original video here.
2. Not an ukulele fan, I'm guessing.

3. Ouch. Just... ouch.

4. The "no" heard 'round the world.

5. Well... at least you have it on video.

6. What's up with proposing in the mall, though?

7. That's a "maybe."

We wish all parties involved the very best in luck and love. Sometimes a rejection is the best thing that can happen to us: everything that works out springs from something else that didn't work out.
We especially hope that #7 is okay.
