Propose at the End of the Cruise, Not the Beginning
The guy got down on one knee was about to pop the question to his girlfriend, whom he had been dating for nobody knows how long because he’s not the OP. The crowd, including the OP, had their hands ready for a round of applause to celebrate this momentous occasion, but in the end, they wound up staring at their own feet awkwardly.
The girl said no. It’s soul-crushing, we know, but that’s not even the worst part. The guy proposed to his girlfriend on the first day of the three-day cruise. They still had around 72 hours to spend with each other in complete, awkward silence.
