Sorry guys, I thought this was a little cheesy. Don’t you think the guy being proposed to is just settling for that nerd? But I guess the fact that their marriage isn’t legally binding is his safety net. Worst case scenario – they get a “divorce”, flip the house for double and the cute guy goes on a world-wide circuit tour, while the nerd goes to counseling and talks about his feelings, blubbering how he had it all including a great interest rate. I’ve found episodes of Baywatch more moving than this – a perfect example of what NOT to do on YouTube.

I am with Tobias. A little corny. This is what he said:

“I never knew I always needed you. You give me shelter. You support me with your honesty. You are my true complement. My life would be incomplete without you. This is my way of officially proposing.”

Didn’t Bette Midler sing this in Beaches?

No problem, “Tobias” and “Scott,” you’re entitled to your opinion(s). But it’s interesting that your computer(s) have the exact same IP address.

I’m with Homer and Jeff. I found it touching.

And I think the “nerd” is totally just as hot as his partner.

Haha…Sometimes friends hang out at each other’s places…

Besides, we’re playing with you, Jeff, you know us…We were hoping to provoke a wave of comments of people defending love…but alas, we were found out…
