Ring Around the Crazy: Engagement Stories That Will Make You Cringe
From awkward teenage proposals to social media engagement stunts we never agreed to, our worst proposal stories reveal the messy reality behind those picture-perfect moments everyone expects.
Nothing says romance like being proposed to at "the dystopian version of Chuck E. Cheese" on April Fool's Day, or waking up at 3 AM to a boyfriend suddenly deciding marriage will solve everything after his pastor father caught you being intimate. We share four engagement stories each, ranking them from merely uncomfortable to absolutely cringe-worthy.
The proposals range from subtle red flags (like silently slipping a ring on someone's finger while driving) to outright disturbing (a high school ex appearing sweaty and desperate in the hallway, requiring security intervention). Perhaps most shocking is the social media "engagement" one of us discovered only after friends started sending congratulatory messages about a proposal that never actually happened.
These stories highlight an important truth: bad proposals often reveal fundamental relationship issues that are easy to ignore in the moment. We explore what made us say "yes" despite the circumstances, and why these relationships ultimately didn't work out. We also discuss what we'd want in future proposals and weddings now that we've learned from past experiences.
Want to share your own bad proposal story? We'd love to hear it! Connect with us on Instagram or Facebook – we manage them separately, so you'll get different content on each platform. And don't forget to subscribe to the podcast for our upcoming episode featuring Tina from the Spokane Ketamine Clinic.

Hello everyone. Hello, I'm Heather.
Speaker 2:I'm Lacey. Oh, we didn't do that on the last one.
Speaker 1:No, because you were laughing.
Speaker 2:I did. That's funny.
Speaker 1:It's okay, we can do it on most of them.
Speaker 2:If we remember it, all that's good for us.
Speaker 1:Yes In case you were wondering, I am Bodybuilder Barbie and you are Daria. Yeah, daria. Daria, daria I know we got it on video too. The way she said that I like it oh, are we recording yes, I forgot.
Speaker 2:I think it's still going no, I did we stop it, did we not? No?
Speaker 1:we stopped it. I think the battery's still going. Oh, I didn't check, but if it's not, it's not, we're just going to the battery runs out. I think it's still good, though, okay. If it's not, it's not, we're just going to the battery runs out. I think it's still good, though, okay. So yes, there is a find us on YouTube. Can you believe we have video now? I mean, we're not saying it's great, but you can now see, and we should probably learn to start talking more to them, because I feel like last time I talked to you a lot, which is good.
Speaker 2:I love your face, but maybe to them also, and I feel to them also and I feel like I'm very aware that I talk with my body a lot and which is why we have. I was more aware of it because I knew we were recording, but I couldn't not talk with my body and then you see how much I fidget and I move around, but also because my muscles are sore I need like janessa to like live here and just massage me we're just gonna get a compound in florida.
Speaker 2:I fucking love that, just all three of us.
Speaker 1:There's so many bodybuilding shows down there, I'll just be like I'll be our breadwinner, I'll just win all the shows you do that.
Speaker 2:I just want the heat. I need the heat. Cold hurts my body.
Speaker 1:Oh, little foreshadowing Future episode Ketamine your body hurting reminded me of ketamine. We've had so many questions about ketamine um, how my experience with it, what it does like, all the things literally everything about it and I've reached out to people and messages, but I feel like now we just need a whole episode. Yeah, and we have secured tina, tina uh of the spokane ketamine clinic, so she will be coming and talking with us and answering all the questions. So if you have any questions, send them to us on, send us a text on instagram, on facebook.
Speaker 2:Carrier pigeon email yeah, we do have an email address. I don't think we've ever used it, but we do have one you're in charge of that oh, that's why we've never used it right, because I'm like I can't do that part if you guys don't notice, um, our instagram and our facebook are not the same like because we are not the same and heather manages our Instagram and I manage our Facebook, so you get different content depending. So you should really follow both because you have different stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I will say, like you never know what you're going to get stuff that I post on Facebook are specifically because Heather makes them and sends them to me, and then all I have to do is upload it, and she even had to walk me through how to do that yes, and if she ever repost the stories, she usually links Spotify, or she's supposed to.
Speaker 1:I have been doing much better, so she links Spotify, I link Apple.
Speaker 2:I link both.
Speaker 1:Well, that's because what I'm talking about in stories, you can only do one oh yes but yeah, you link both. And on Instagram you have to go to our bio, click it for the link, because it doesn't allow you to link the way Facebook does. But in our bio is the link for our podcast and or wherever you find podcasts, because we're literally.
Speaker 2:We're on all the things.
Speaker 1:Everywhere.
Speaker 2:Yeah, those are just the two most popular ones that people ask about.
Speaker 1:So it's easy to address and you can always click on Buzzsprout too and go from there. I will make us a link tree with actually all the different ones, so that the link in our bio goes to everything. So you can just pick and choose. That's smart yeah.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:I'm leaning over a lot. I see that you're like falling down.
Speaker 2:It's kind of fun though it's comfy.
Speaker 1:It's stretching my side. Stretching my side um this blanket, by the way, is the softest blanket ever. It looks tough.
Speaker 2:It also kind of reminds me of cruella deville, but it does. I thought that my brain works.
Speaker 1:They had them at the cheer comp and I'm like how much did you pay for?
Speaker 2:oh, we don't want to talk about it. Um, the kids hit a person you want to talk about. Yes, we haven't even said our topic, we haven't even because we side, we side topic oh, our topic today is bad engagements, or engagements bad proposals or we'll just proposals in general, anything related to yes, yours are just all bad. I know.
Speaker 1:Mine are not like fairy tale. I've had some.
Speaker 2:But yours are more like realistic expectations.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Like especially considering the source. Yes, so I guess mine were probably also realistic expectations considering the source.
Speaker 1:But mine were all bad. Let's go back and forth. Okay, do you want to rock paper scissors on who goes first? Well, I think.
Speaker 2:I have more. Okay, then we don't even need to do it, you win.
Speaker 1:I'm like this will be fun for the camera. Rock paper, okay you win.
Speaker 2:We can do that for something else, but I do think I have more yes, no you do?
Speaker 1:You said that I was like facts. Okay, go, should should we, because I only have, I only have three I can pick a top.
Speaker 2:No, I have four I have three engines I have four see, oh, we're equal, we're golden are we rock paper scissors?
Speaker 1:yes, okay, hold on, I gotta put the mic. No, we just do it like this oh, you don't okay. Well, we don't have to, we don't have to. Okay, we just don't look rock are we?
Speaker 2:are we going rock paper scissors shoot? Yes, okay.
Speaker 1:And we shoot on. Shoot Okay, okay, ready.
Speaker 2:Rock paper scissors shoot.
Speaker 1:Oh, I chop you up.
Speaker 2:I win. You scissored me. Oh my God, I did the only time that's ever going to happen.
Speaker 1:And it was with our fingers that sounds was with our fingers, that sounds even weird. Good lord, who listens to us?
Speaker 2:a lot of people actually, actually a lot of people were at we're funny.
Speaker 1:We're funny. The ones that I don't like are when I'm trying to not talk about a subject and I just say, like um, yeah I know it bothers you I listened back, I'm like you could tell I didn't want to talk about the death day episode. Anyways, here we go. Engagements.
Speaker 2:Okay, so am I ranking them in order? Am I just telling you in timeline order?
Speaker 1:Chronologically, we should know. Since we both have four, let's go from least worst to worst. Okay, because you got to build up the suspense.
Speaker 2:I know, I just don't know how to decide which one was the fucking worst. Um, okay, so I'll number four. I feel like I could name that for you. No, number four is gonna be jen's story, just because it didn't happen to me personally, but okay, okay.
Speaker 1:So if you have not heard, jen has notes, that's jen. That's my sister, whether she wants to or not. No, my sister that I never had. You know like she's gonna be my sister. She's more like. We're more alike.
Speaker 2:Oh, I never had a sister and wanted one. Yes, you guys definitely have more in common than I have, so it's like either of you.
Speaker 1:She's the sister that I want, is what my sister that I want, but is not actually my sister is what I was trying to get at and it came out way too many words and didn't work.
Speaker 2:It took a while to get, but we're there so yeah. So so jen has a bad engagement or a proposal story, because the gentleman seriously, I sorry I'm gonna say it by my mouth was it this one?
Speaker 1:yes, oh god yes, and so I don't know what to call him I could not believe that her gorgeous self ever gave that mutant the time of day. He tricked her.
Speaker 2:They all do I know and I hated him from day one on record day one, he knows it, she knows it, literally everybody knows it. Day one I was like no, this is not fucking it, but she is naive we all have to, I know we all.
Speaker 1:She's not naive anymore. You go through shit, you grow through shit, you become really independent and shit strong. All facts, yes okay.
Speaker 2:So he, he calls the whole family and he's like, oh, I'm gonna propose to her. And we were pretty much all like I don't think that's a good idea, you definitely should not do that. And he's like no, I'm gonna do it. It do it, it's going to be great. He invites us all to Savage Land Pizza. Wait, if you're a local, you know how disturbing that is, because that place was gross, gross.
Speaker 1:I have never been there, but I've seen the outside Shut up, Seriously Never inside. I saw the outside and the outside kept me from going on the inside.
Speaker 2:I would describe it as like okay, so you have Chuck E Cheese and then you have Savage Land Pizza, which is like the dystopian version of Chuck E Cheese, Like it's grimy and it's dirty and they don't have a lot of stuff and it's dark and it's like scary a little bit. So that's where he decides he's going to propose to her in front of the whole family on april fool's day. Why would you do that?
Speaker 1:I don't know why. Was it a joke? That wasn't it.
Speaker 2:He's a joke, he was hoping he like first off, she gets there and she's like, why is everybody here? That's fucking weird, naive, naive, that's fucking weird, why would my whole family fucking happen to be here? And he's like, oh, I just thought it'd be fun. And she's like, okay, fucking weird, but okay. And then, like he somehow gets the people like to they have like a stuffed little teddy bear that he uses tickets to buy, to like hold the ring box or whatever and like gives it to her child, to like give to her and like at first she literally thought it was just like a 25 cent like ring, like the prize thing from the scary, yeah, savage land arcade and uh those little free rings that you little cheapy rings, yes, that's what she thought it was.
Speaker 2:And then he gets down on a knee and she's like what are you doing? No, get up, get up, get up, get up, get like verbally, and we're all in a circle like watching and me and our other sister was there and like we look at each other and we're like what do we do if she says no? Like we have to have a plan, we have to like grab her and go. Like what do we do if she says no? And then, of course, she said yes because like the pressure of it all and obviously that relationship he knew out.
Speaker 2:Thank god, yes, he knew the only way that she would say yes is if he put her in a situation where she felt like she couldn't say no where she was forced to, yeah yeah, that relationship didn't work out, thank the lord. Now she's engaged to a wonderful person and getting married, so there's hope for them. There's hope well, well, so that's my fourth worst night okay um okay, so I guess this wasn't like awful.
Speaker 1:This was so, luke, and I did get divorced and I was like, but we were like together as we were getting the divorce because we were both very just like spiteful and like stubborn and like young and stupid. So anyways, I was like well, next time you're gonna like really right?
Speaker 1:yes, yeah so it's after Kinsley, she's, we I'm still breastfeeding at this time. I think it's like she's like three or four months old not very old and we go to Disney on ice and I'm like so tired, I'm like we're not going because we had a date night planned afterwards okay.
Speaker 1:So you went to Disney on ice with the kids and then you were going to drop off the kids yes, with Lily and Kinsley, and then we're going to drop them off and then go all the way back downtown to Garage Land and have like a, which would be great In theory. I was like, yeah, let's do that. And then I'm so fucking tired, right, because like Kinsley wakes up every two hours at night at this point I still have not slept since she's been born.
Speaker 1:She's a lot, yes, so he had planned I mean that in the best you know this, it's for garage land which would have been great.
Speaker 2:That was like one of our first savage land, garage land, garage land we, it was super cute, loved it.
Speaker 1:Um, since no longer around, just like savage. Yeah, both got the ass. So I'm like I don't want to go like. I don't want to go like, let's just go to someplace close.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was the.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, the mexican restaurant that's right there at why can't I think of the name anymore the mexican restaurant at the in liberty lake, at the golf course. That used to be. Yes, okay, used to be at the golf course, not anymore. Um there, so we go there and then my friend kaylee blonde kaylee shows up and I'm like this is weird.
Speaker 1:My mom ends up coming to I think kinsley's, there are the only kids out there, yeah, so everybody's there, everyone's there, which was not going to be everyone, which was weird. And then there's this couple next. I have no idea what's going on, like at all. Uh, there's a couple next to us that's like in the midst of breaking up and I'm so snoopy and they're fighting and arguing and I'm like you're all about it, yes, and so I'm sitting here and like it's time to go and everyone's leaving and I'm like kaylee, no, we gotta see what happens.
Speaker 2:Like we're following this out so, anyways, we're there, committed to this.
Speaker 1:Yes, and she was in on it. So she was there to like, take pictures and things like that. Now, looking back in hindsight, I was wondering why they were pushing garage land so hard. I'm the one that fucked that up. Um, so then I go to the bathroom, come outside of belengue, is right there and he, like is holding flowers and gets down on one knee and it's like, well, and she's taking pictures and there's my mom and kinsley and lily and everybody you know. So it was I ruined it. It's cute. I guess I ruined it. But yes, he was very proud of himself, but he picked out the ring and was like, good, on him for like not.
Speaker 2:But he picked out the ring and was like good on him for like not having that detour his plan no, nothing.
Speaker 1:He adjusted, yes, and good on him, yeah, and I had no idea. And he picked out a beautiful ring which I no longer have, I know. Thank you, johnny bravo, not thank you, johnny bravo but like yeah, yes and I guess he was very proud of that ring, like he went and showed my mom, like without me, like obviously, and yeah, so he did all that, so that was my yeah in on the four that I've had, that was the the best okay, yes because we're number one is the worst.
Speaker 2:I'm here with you, okay. So then I would say that, but just side note.
Speaker 1:That was his number two. He did the first time a little awkwardly, so we'll get to that one. That's gonna be on the list.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, absolutely so. My number three is would be prison, aaron Carter, because it was just a conversation, like it wasn't even a serious conversation, like we had been together off and on for nine years, which is a crazy amount of time.
Speaker 1:I still can't believe you gave him the time of day, but that's all right.
Speaker 2:That whole thing. We were dating for three months before I even knew.
Speaker 1:You also find him attractive.
Speaker 2:Out of everyone I've dated, I do think that he is the most we don't have the same type no, thank no not at all.
Speaker 1:But he's also not a lumberjack, no but or a nerd but no, not at all. He's a like skater emo boy yes, so I found it when I was a skater emo girl yes but then I grew up and he is still a skater emo boy. Who claims to be 16. Still, he acts like it and he says he's like 26 or something. Yeah, he lies about his age.
Speaker 2:He does, he does Caught that multiple times and he spells his name differently on different dating apps to try to not get caught and stuff yeah.
Speaker 1:Stay away from the dating apps. He's slick, but not really. No, not at all. The Spokane's real small, because I find out everything.
Speaker 2:all this, I find out stuff I don't even want to know?
Speaker 1:Oh, like he's in jail right now.
Speaker 2:No, his brother is.
Speaker 1:Oh, his brother's, oh, the same thing.
Speaker 2:They're just different versions of the same product. I was like this whole time, because he doesn't go anywhere or do anything, because he knows he'll go to jail, so he just stays at home.
Speaker 1:Avoid the job.
Speaker 2:Yeah, avoids everything, like you can't arrest me if I'm here, hee hee. I mean, they can, they're not actively pursuing him.
Speaker 1:Remember what happened to Johnny Bravo and the search warrant on his house? Yeah, but they were actively pursuing him. This is true.
Speaker 2:His is just if they run his name, they'll arrest him because he owes so much money in back child support. They're not actively trying to like track him down. They know exactly where he is, but as long as they don't interact with him they won't do anything about it. But so like we've been together for nine years and we just had a conversation that was like, if we're ever going to get married, we might as well just do it on our 10 year anniversary, because then we don't have to like remember a new date, because, let's be real, I don't remember anything anything, but that's fine it's really bad.
Speaker 2:So that was it. And then, like, we didn't talk about it for like a month and a half and then he brought it up and he's like so, are we doing that? Then that was it, that was my proposal, so are we doing that? Then and I was like I mean we could. And he's like well, then, let's do that. And I was like okay, and then I bought my own engagement ring that you then gifted to him as a severance package.
Speaker 2:I when we broke up, I gave it back and you just shut up you cannot give back something that you bought.
Speaker 1:You gifted that to him. I gifted that to him and I'm gonna shut up in the best way, but, like, quit saying that because it was not given back, it was gifted. It was like here's your parting gift get out. Go give this to another girl, please because you knew how he needed the money to get out.
Speaker 2:So you were like here, start your life I love that you think I spent enough on that ring that he could start anything. He stole your lingerie.
Speaker 1:I bought it myself. He stole your lingerie and sold it at a garage sale, so I don't think that we can. That's a true story. He took your shower head, yeah, and I don't want to know what he's doing with it or where it ended up, but you know what?
Speaker 2:That ring was like yes, but that's how much I didn't want to be with him.
Speaker 1:I'm like here this is how much like take this back. But yeah, no, just take this, not take it back.
Speaker 2:He kept trying to give it to me. So it was like a good two weeks of us just giving, giving the ring back to each other in more like petty ways. It was fucked and it took months and cops and the court to get him and me and all the and you to get him removed, but yeah, so that was not like ideal, but it wasn't like oh, that could be a service I offer.
Speaker 1:I will serve paper, I'm good at it yeah, experienced that one time but I was good at Nobody else would have been able to do it.
Speaker 2:Okay, what's your three?
Speaker 1:Okay, so I guess next one will be a Luke story too, because you know it's from him Because he did the best. Yes, he was always the best. I was on my way from Spokane so he was in North Dakota when we like reconnected from our like teenage years and it was like a third trip up there and he greeted me with a puppy when I got off the train remington a little black lab, love that name, so cute.
Speaker 1:And but remington foreshadowing remington is now on a farm with like he really is, with a he needed a lot of no, but he really is, Did nobody ever tell you about that. No, I helped find him a home because Luke was an oil field worker and black labs need a lot of attention and playing and that does not work for a single man who's gone for 12 hours.
Speaker 2:So he was with a family with a whole farm and he there's a black lab living in my house and it is the most obnoxious and I just yeah, it was like we had the conversation that he needs way too much because he wasn't with me.
Speaker 1:He wanted him to stay there in North Dakota, so when, I came back so when I wasn't there, and I'm like it's just not fair.
Speaker 2:That's fair. He, it's not fair, but he gave you a puppy when you got off the train. Yes, and then? Which I mean? Yes Started with a puppy.
Speaker 1:And then we were driving back to where he stayed, in Williston, then Williston, williston. Yeah, or was this in Minot? This one was in Minot, this was in Minot, so the second one, and he decided to just put a ring on my finger. He was like grab my hand, and then he just as we were driving he just puts it on and I'm like what is this?
Speaker 1:and he then he's like a bad country movie and then he's like we're gonna stop and let the puppy go to the bathroom and I'm like okay, and I'm like I like it. So you didn't even say anything.
Speaker 2:No, he's like just put it on your hand and that was it.
Speaker 1:And I'm like so is it a promise ring? He's like a promise to put it on your hand, and that was it. And I'm like so is it a promise ring? He's like a promise to get married. I'm like I don't, sure. But then we did get married and I got a different ring. We did get married. We got married at the hitching post.
Speaker 2:My mom got married there twice and they did the exact same ceremony full time.
Speaker 1:I think they do the same ceremony for everyone Every time it looks exactly the same. I could probably point that thing at this point.
Speaker 2:Yes, so funny yeah, how long between when you got engaged and you got married.
Speaker 1:Pretty quickly. I was like pregnant with Lily. I was like four months pregnant.
Speaker 2:Did you know that when he proposed yeah?
Speaker 1:No, no, no, it was after so little wait he proposed.
Speaker 2:Then you found out, you got pregnant yeah, then you got married so that you could get married before you were super pregnant, type of thing well, we weren't like, that wasn't the thing we just wanted to do it. No, but I mean like yeah but I didn't care.
Speaker 1:There was nobody there besides brayden and he was playing angry birds in the back. That dates the time he was uninterested, he was like three yeah, he's a witness. It counts, it counts, it counts they provide a witness for you there oh, do they. Yes, full service so, yeah, that's all wrapped up into the yeah. Next time it's gonna be great. We were planning a hawaii vow renewal will actually be a re-wedding we can get married again um, and then that just never happened because you know he died, so that was anti-climactic whoa okay, my dark humor.
Speaker 1:It happens, it happens, dude I love it.
Speaker 2:I use it a lot. My bonus child that lives with me, he he laughs at me because of how much I use my dark humor.
Speaker 1:It's perfect I love it it's a helpful tool.
Speaker 2:I enjoyed all right number two. I was 16.
Speaker 1:did you live in idaho?
Speaker 2:no, no, I was still in washington, I was in otis orchards. Legal otis orchards, I guess anything's legal well, it's parent consent is what matters so wild which is crazy, right, because who would let my mother have any consent in anything is beyond me she birthed you?
Speaker 1:I know it was.
Speaker 2:She's an incubator she made sure that I became alive and then and then it went downhill from there but, anyway, that's why we're so funny so um, how it was mole whom I met in the most fucked up way in the first place. Because did I tell that story or not, I don't I don't even know so I met him because I I just turned 15 and me and my mother were fighting, so I moved into a drug house, because that's obviously what you do, because those are the people that take you in.
Speaker 2:Because those are the people. They don't care. Nobody like lives there. Like the grandpa lived there but he was in jail and so it was like the mom and the kids were like squatting and they, you know whatever. I was just friends with friends of people that, yeah, it was a thing, so I stayed there for like two weeks. We meet at a party. He gets me super drunk. We went shot for shot off of um aftershock, oh my gosh, yes, aftershock. And then ate all the crystals.
Speaker 1:Yes, ew.
Speaker 2:Yuck the cinnamon crystals, because we were convinced that.
Speaker 1:You know that messes you up more and all the things, and then we went to the theater and made out while watching jay and silent bob strike back, oh, my god, I know.
Speaker 2:And then so long ago, and then we hook up, that's, that's what you do. And then he had to drop me off at high school so that I could, uh, go to football practice, because I was a football manager and I was late and everything.
Speaker 1:Your commitment to work is like ingrained in you. Like fuck school, but I'll be there for the manager managing the football team.
Speaker 2:I had to go manage football team so I got called the girl on her back for like the whole season because I was late, because of doing the deed, I mean that was how I lost my virginity, by the way.
Speaker 2:And then so we didn't talk for a while, ran into each other at a party hooked up, didn't talk for a while, ran into each other at a party hooked up, didn't talk for a while, ran into each other at a party hooked up, like that was our pattern or whatever. And then he shows up at my house one day and I was like how do you even know where I live? And he's like oh, I asked so and so and I was like that's weird that they gave you my address. But okay, and he's like so I'm trying to get off meth and you're the only person that I know that doesn't do meth. Can I stay here?
Speaker 2:First off, how do you even ask somebody that? Second off, my response is let me ask my mom. And I ask my mom and I I don't even lie like I'm like there's this dude that I've met a couple times and he wants to stay here because he's trying to get off meth and I'm the only one he doesn't know. Can he stay here? And she said yes why I don't know, because he's a bad mom.
Speaker 1:That's like not good parenting skills there?
Speaker 2:no yeah, so like he moved in with me for like a week and then went through withdrawals in my bedroom I'm 15 years old, like trying to take care, like, of his withdrawals on my own, and then like we'd hook up or whatever and I'd wash the sheets and I'd clean him up and all of it like it was crazy and then he disappeared, for just disappeared he went home no, he got caught sneaking into his own house by his parents and they sent him to rehab and then when he came back from rehab, we were dating.
Speaker 2:Like that's how we met, meet cute. Already all the red flags right. So me and him at this point we've been together for like a year year and a half, I think and we had just got caught having sex by his parents and his dad was a pastor and they literally made us get dressed and meet them in the living room and have a conversation with us about our sin and how, if, maybe, if we stop now and don't touch each other again until we get married, then maybe god will forgive us. There's a chance. So that's set in the scene right, so okay.
Speaker 2:So that's awful and I'm like first time in my life, I'm like I want my mom. I was like this is worse. This is so much this is worse.
Speaker 1:So whatever they leave, mom would have high-fived you. She'd be like, okay, did you let them finish?
Speaker 2:she would have been like, oh sorry, and left yes did you need anything?
Speaker 2:peace out right I'll buy you beer, it's fine, um, and so we just go back to bed after their lecture us for like two hours and then I finally fall asleep at like one. He wakes me up at like three o'clock in the morning and he's like we should just get married. And I was like what? And he's like, do you wanna? And I was like, I mean, I guess. And he's like, okay, cool, I'll get you a ring tomorrow. And I'm like, okay, can I go back to bed now? And he's like, yeah, that was it. And then we were engaged for like a whole year. Shocker, that didn't work out. Yeah, yeah, so it wasn't great, wasn't great, not great, not great um is it my turn now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, number two, okay um brayden's dad oh, short-lived. I'm pretty sure that, like I don't know um he worked in food service then. So it was my 21st birthday service.
Speaker 2:You mean like fast food.
Speaker 1:No, he actually was a sous chef when we were together. He like had a shit together. It was like then he started declining. So he's a sous chef of luna. Actually I don't know what that means. Luna on the South Hill.
Speaker 2:I have no idea.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's a really nice restaurant.
Speaker 2:That would be why I have no idea.
Speaker 1:And then he also was the executive chef at Delaney's Music Cafe. So that's like the little hotel bed and breakfast does a bunch of weddings, okay, anyways. So on my 21st birthday I am pregnant with Brayden. We go to the Davenport, the towers, then we have like a whole suite, everything and we're going, we eat. I did have champagne, this is what. So on the dessert that comes out, there's a ring. It was very awkward. And then everybody's standing around and I'm like pregnant, but only four months, and then they bring out champagne and I definitely had a glass and I'm like, okay, this is whatever, but it was just like really I felt like in the moment, the anxiety of it all, yeah it just felt you were you excited when you saw it, or were?
Speaker 1:you. I was very much into and like I kind of already knew it was happening, I feel like I knew. No, not really because I'm like why are we doing? I just feel like I had yeah, it was yeah, also the person.
Speaker 2:Sure, I guess it was nice at the time yeah, it was nice see all of yours are pretty decent except the next one, we haven't gotten to the worst one.
Speaker 2:That's true, yours jumps, mine's like a gradual progression and yours jumps because we're not this. Okay. So my number one I was 14. God and I. Okay, this is so weird. I dated this dude in like seventh grade, off and on for a total of maybe three months, and then I moved and I switched schools for eighth grade and I dated a different dude off and on for like two months. I'm not good at dating. I've never been from the beginning.
Speaker 1:We are all very well aware. That's why you need to go on more dates and have normal dates, so that we can wash away all these tragedies. Yes, you need to like exposure therapy. You need to get good at this, like you're really good at your job you're really good. Like I think you just haven't done it enough. Like I think you need to start looking at dating like your job and just like like apply your work life to your date.
Speaker 2:I hate dating so much more than I dislike my job like I like my job way more than maybe if someone started paying you, but then that would be a weird escort service.
Speaker 1:So I don't know if that's like legal.
Speaker 2:No, it's not.
Speaker 1:Sorry, I'm just trying to solve your problems over here I appreciate the effort I do Effort's important. I got all that you're looking for.
Speaker 2:No, it's not happening.
Speaker 1:Let's nip it in my bud, that's because I won't be the husband. Yes, that's true, there can be two wives. Now it's legal. We don't have to be like one masculine, one feminine. We can have both of us, just be the wives.
Speaker 2:It's not going to happen. I do appreciate you trying to compromise. That was a compromise that was a.
Speaker 1:That was a nice gesture on your. Only person I compromise with is you. I know, so weird I'm very aware of it.
Speaker 2:Okay, so I dated this dude for like a minute or whatever in seventh grade. Now it's freshman year and the two schools the school that I went to in seventh grade and the school that I went to in eighth grade merged into the high school. And let me tell you something I was not the same person at this school as I was at that school. So now I have two entirely different reputations converging on each other at the same time and no idea how to handle it. So I started drinking worked great is this where it so?
Speaker 1:that's how that happened and um.
Speaker 2:So the me and the guy that I dated in eighth grade became really good friends afterwards. We just weren't like that type of people, whatever. So like me and him we talk a lot. But the dude that I did in seventh grade like got all jelly belly that I like became friends with that guy and like kind of became obsessed with me for no reason. And like one day I'm just walking through the halls at high school and he like runs towards me and he's like all covered in sweat and like gross and it was just like what the fuck it's going on and literally has a ring in his hand, is like shaking and he's like I figured it out, I figured it out, you just gotta marry me and then it'll all be fine. And I'm like what are you talking about?
Speaker 1:so I start walking away and he is like marry me, and then it'll all be fine and I'm like what are you talking about?
Speaker 2:so I start walking away and he is like following me and like trying to convince me that why I should marry him and all this shit. And I had to go and hide in the library and get the librarian and then the security had to come and like physically remove him from the property and I was like what is happening? Wait, I wasn't even your school um, he went to the alternative oh so like I went to, the regular drugs probably I also probably was drunk yeah it's fine it's fine, but it was weird.
Speaker 2:It was crazy we weren't even actively dating at the time or anything like it was just, it was a weird experience and then, like we just never talked about it again, never saw him or hung like yeah, so that's my number one crazy story about being proposed to okay, so now we're down to my crazy one.
Speaker 1:Um, I didn't even know it was happening until all the notifications started going off on my phone.
Speaker 2:You were the last person to know that you were yes I'm laughing because I saw this from afar, so you have to realize when I saw it. I didn't know that, you didn't know.
Speaker 1:No, so I briefly dated the person that we are calling the Flash.
Speaker 2:Not while I'm taking a drink that almost went everywhere. Okay, so we became very public very quickly and a lot of people had a lot of things to say about it. It was very showy.
Speaker 1:Yes, and so we were actually at Beverly's having dinner. Ed just popped a bottle of Cristal. Literally, we went through three bottles that night.
Speaker 2:He had money. I actually paid for dinner that night because it was his birthday.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's fair. Yeah, so I only bought one bottle of crystal. He had the other two, so let's go Half. I got half a dinner. I'm like I'm not doing all that, but yes, it was birthday. Anyways, I went through a bougie phase. I don't fucking drink anymore.
Speaker 1:Same yeah, so we're sitting there having dinner, and same yeah, so we're sitting there having dinner, and then all this is blowing up, has been, had been blowing up as far as, like there was a lot of girls that had things to say about like, yeah, there were, that I didn't.
Speaker 2:This is funny. A lot of girls that had that's funny, he's with you because, oh, yes, me or I'm having his baby which I didn't know about those.
Speaker 1:I was talking about the one girl that was like oh, you must be so upset about your husband you're out with him and I didn't even know who this person was like I had never met her before anyways business so there was a lot of like things blowing up. So he decides to say engage to heather gardner, while also putting that we are going to vegas yeah all in the same like post.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah well, no, it was like story, it was like post we're engaged, okay to me that all means the same thing, so people, so I start getting inundated with messages are you getting married?
Speaker 1:so then another you thought that there was a ring. There was never a ring. I really thought that there was no, but I never. I didn't take my wedding ring off for over two years. I didn't take it off for like two years, so I should have never taken it off. Then Johnny Bravo couldn't have stole it, but I never, I didn't take it off. So that's probably why you, why you saw it. I never took it off. But I remember looking at the flash and being like what is this? And he's like we're going to stunt on him.
Speaker 2:I'm like what is? That sentence is a red flag. Right, that sentence is a red flag.
Speaker 1:Okay, fast forward to later that night. He was kicked out of the court lane resort for being like wild and crazy and yeah crazy, for sure yeah, so I didn't even know that that one was happening, but that was never, it wasn't even real. So there, yeah, it was not real it was just a social media stunt that I was not even, weren't even involved in no that. Yeah, that's funny though right, that's funny, that's yeah do you guys have any crazy proposal stories?
Speaker 2:we want to hear them. Send them in please.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that was wild, we went on.
Speaker 2:It's crazy because I haven't thought about some of that in a long time same because I'm so like. Our lives now are so past that yes, yeah, which is great.
Speaker 1:Yeah, um future. I do find myself, or I I find seeing, I see myself in the future, finding a person.
Speaker 2:And you'll get married again.
Speaker 1:Yes, For real and have a good proposal and an actual like, not like I don't want something like a big, crazy wedding, but like we're going to do something to celebrate Do you, our union.
Speaker 2:Do you like the idea of it being public, or would you prefer something that's more intimate?
Speaker 1:Cause I think I would yeah me too.
Speaker 2:I think I would be mortified At the stage I am in my life like I'm not wearing a big poofy dress for everyone to like.
Speaker 1:Walk down the aisle.
Speaker 2:I mean like I'll wear a dress. No, I meant the proposal, oh the proposal.
Speaker 1:It depends Really.
Speaker 2:I think I would have a panic attack if it was like a public proposal. Figures were not the same. I know I'm like actually I wouldn't mind that.
Speaker 1:Actually, the bigger, the showier, the better Wedding wise. I just feel like I'm past the big wedding thing. I want something small intimate.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think I would like basically elope.
Speaker 1:Yes destination wedding is definitely what I would want to do with like amazing photos and just to remember that yeah, but I think that's a flashy proposal.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna get. I gotta get past the first date. Yeah, I guess I need to. I we're a ways away we are, but you know I do think that the I mean obviously the way the dating pool is this is.
Speaker 2:We're just gonna be thinking like I don't know if I'll ever get married like realistically, which is I feel like I'm more okay with that now, like I had a, an idea or a version of how I thought my life would be, obviously, and this ain't it, but like I'm not necessarily super unhappy with the way things are. At least I know that I can rely on myself and like I've developed a routine of this is the thing is, because we are so independent and our lives are so full on their own, it's just you have to add value to it.
Speaker 1:We are no now. Yes, now.
Speaker 2:Now, you are no longer yes, because we did not live by that motto in the past. Well, you did well.
Speaker 1:I very much let myself be. Well, luke was a very huge part of my life and we grew up together. I just allowed the Flash and Johnny Bravo to just take me and I just was like along for the ride there was nothing.
Speaker 2:You were in a vulnerable state.
Speaker 1:It was like one date. You are mine like when I tell you it was like that it literally was. I should have dated yeah like there was no dating. I remember getting away from the Flash and being like I'm never going back there again. And then he showed up at my house Like here's coffee, when are you coming over later? Like what I remember being like. Why do I have to stay here?
Speaker 2:So that's the thing. It's weird when you have to break up with somebody multiple times because they're not getting it. That's a weird experience.
Speaker 1:yeah, we're like, that's all I they're just like they don't go away in you at all.
Speaker 2:They're like oh, you're so funny. And we're like, no, no, leave, like literally, physically leave the premises and my life and my reality. Yeah, yeah all right weird experience, crazy stories, all right we want to know yours. Send them in, we'll talk about them.
