Any situation in which a character carries out an action that is misinterpreted as a wedding proposal by another character. Typically, the latter character accepts, much to the former character's horror. Hilarity ensues. It can be done in a number of ways: Bob wishes to propose to Alice and shows the engagement ring to Carol, who assumes he's actually proposing to her, not Alice; Evan wishes to propose to Alice and Bob finds the ring and shows it to Alice; Bob says something which, taken out of context, could sound very much like a wedding proposal; a Culture Clash where Bob is not aware that some completely mundane act in his culture is considered a marriage proposal in Alice's culture; etc. Usually Played for Laughs but can occasionally be Played for Drama. Common in sitcoms and soap operas. Sister Trope to Accidental Marriage (indeed, this trope often leads to that one). Can easily lead to a "Fawlty Towers" Plot. Contrast I Didn't Mean to Turn You On, where one character accidentally inspires a love that's a bit less romantic and a bit more... earthly. Compare/contrast the Mistaken for Index. |

Adventure Time: In "Prisoners of Love", Jake and Finn have rescued the Princesses from the Ice King and are taken them home when Finn makes a vague remark that the Slime Princess interprets as a proposal and accepts. Finn is too startled to say anything so Jake comes up with an Embarrassing Cover-Up to persuade the Slime Princess that she doesn't want to marry him. | |

Downplayed in Entirely Out of Spite since Ajax meant to ask Zhongli if the older man would agree to date him, only to bring him gifts decorated with dragons and phoenixes — traditional Chinese bridal imagery. The extremely flustered and happy Zhongli wants to wait a bit before committing, but nonetheless offers Ajax a wedding ring to seal the agreement. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Early in Storm Rising, the town council of Shonar asks Tremaine if some of his troops could possibly help with the harvest. Tremaine agrees, then realizes he'll need to have his volunteers briefed on local courting customs since they'll be working side by side with farm women — he doesn't want any issues with one person thinking they're in a casual relationship and the other thinking they're engaged. | |

Ranma ½ has Shampoo's village of Joketsuzoku; according to the rulebook, not only is she supposed to give a Kiss of Death to any non-Joketsuzoku girl who defeats her, but she's also supposed to marry any non-Joketsuzoku guy who defeats her. Between being a guy who defeated her in front of her whole village (admittedly in the wrong form, thanks to his Gender Bender curse), followed by knocking her out cold again in male form in her first appearance in Japan, Shampoo and her great-grandmother insist that Ranma is engaged to her. | |

In World Customize Creator, Yusuke Tagami simply wiping away Princess Violet's tears and cupping her face is apparently enough to be considered a fiance candidate, which she immediately points out. He does it again with Sun by giving her a strength enhancing ring for her protection. Sun, however, doesn't point it out, and simply basks in the knowledge that Yusuke cares about her deeply. | |

However, Britta proposes instead, and a wedding ceremony begins in mere seconds afterwards. Of course it's all stopped after Annie slaps Jeff (because she was getting a crush on Jeff, and was insulted by his advances towards Britta. Although the advances themselves were just an act so people would stop shaming Jeff after what happened in the Season 1 finale) and tells the truth. | |

One character tells his girlfriend he has something to show her over on the counter, then gets held up before he can show her what it actually is. She gets there and sees a display with "Will you marry me?" in several languages and happily accepts. She then sees her boyfriend's reaction, realizes exactly what happened, and tries to play it off as a joke. The secretary calls her out on the obvious lie, making the whole thing more awkward. | |

In The 100 fic "This Must Be the Place", when Clarke and Anya retreat to a bunker after escaping Mount Weather, Clarke unwittingly proposes to Anya when she suggests a 'union' when discussing the possibility of an alliance against Mount Weather. In the process, Clarke unwittingly gives Anya the three primary offerings expected of a union; protection (shelter from the storm), nourishment (the food supplies in the bunker), and creation (a picture of Anya's lost warrior, Tris, as Clarke affirms her regret over failing to save her). Anya reciprocates by going out and killing a wolf so that Clarke can use its skull as a pauldron in her status as a leader and its skin for warmth (protection), various foods (nourishment), and a knife carved with the same pattern of stars at the time the dropship fell (creation), with the union culminating in the connection of spirits as Clarke and Anya have sex for the first time. | |

In Charite, Doctor Behring says to his very gracious benefactor, Director Spinola, that he feels honored to be treated by him as a part of their family — and has missed that, only a moment before, Spinola was commenting on what a pretty couple Behring and his daughter Else are, having always tried to make a match of them. Before Behring has realized as what his phrasing comes across, Spinola already announces their engagement. It's rather dramatic as Behring was at the time making plans to marry the love of his life, Ida Lenze, who now thinks he's let her down, and there's no way for Behring to back out without getting into serious trouble with the prestigious Spinolas. | |

Later he tries to return the ring to her, only for Ehlana to spot it's actually his family's ring rather than hers.

Amaranthine Saga: For obvious reasons, the main plot of Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal involves one of these. Kimiko gives a comb to Eloquence Starmark (which in itself was an accident, as she had actually brought sweets, but they were eaten by his little brother), without knowing that a tailcomb is a highly traditional betrothal gift. In this case, Eloquence (and it's implied his father and the other adults as well) realize it's a mistake, but he convinces Kimiko to go through with it, because his role in the clan forbids him from pursuing a mate—but he IS permitted to be pursued. | |

Cradle Series: When they first meet, Yerin asks Lindon to swear a mystical vow to help each other. Lindon hesitates, because that particular wording is typically used for mystical marriage vows in his clan (though not always; the vow can be used for anything, and his own parents didn't use it when they got married). Yerin is clearly completely unaware of the implications, so he doesn't say anything about it. In book 7, Yerin and Lindon are both rewarded customizable cloudships. Lindon points out that they could do a lot better if they combine their rewards into one ship. Yerin stares at him, and it takes him a minute to realize he just asked her to build a home with him. He doesn't rescind the offer, though. Happens once again in the final book. Lindon looks deep in thought, then pulls out a box and says it's something that should motivate Yerin. He opens it to reveal... an ugly-looking set of madra constructs. It turns out to be the memory echo of her dead master, so it is a big deal, but Yerin still gets whiplash from it. |

The Legend of Zelda: In a sidequest in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Maggie takes Moe the moblin's letter, saying "I want to eat you for dinner", to be a marriage proposal. Inverted in Ocarina of Time: When Ruto gave the Zora Sapphire to Link, in Zora culture, his acceptance of it would mean that Link accepts her proposal. However, Link only needs the sapphire to open the inner chamber of the Temple of Time. So Ruto proposed to Link, but he interpreted it in a different way. |

In Kyo Kara Maoh!, Wolfram badmouths Yuuri's mom, and Yuuri gets mad. Instead of punching Wolfram, Yuuri slaps him across the left cheek (apparently, Wolfram is too much of a Pretty Boy to punch). What Yuuri doesn't know is that slapping someone across the left cheek is how at least the noble classes propose marriage in Shin Makokou. When he finds out, Yuuri is horrified, but Wolfram (and darn near all the other characters too) takes the engagement very seriously. | |

Kevin & Kell: Oddly reversed in one case, in which Fenton's proposed a number of times, but Lindesfarne's turned him down every time (not that she doesn't want to, she just wants to get her degree first). When Fenton starts becoming more reckless in his flying, Lindesfarne tricks him with a Faked Rip Van Winkle plot by showing what he's risking with his recklessness, namely a successful career and marriage to her. When Fenton asks if that means she accepts his proposal, Lindesfarne realizes she accidentally accepted. Later, Aby accidentally does this when she asks if marrying Mark would help him get custody of his nephew Tyler. |

After Rayla injures her head in Accidental Marriage Proposal, Ezran tends to the wound by wrapping Callum's scarf around Rayla's head and left horn (for leverage). Rayla promptly freaks out because wrapping an elf's left horn is considered a marriage proposal by Xadia standards. When Callum finds out, he falls to the floor laughing before explaining to Rayla that Ezran was simply tending to her wound and not proposing to her. | |

Doctor Ghemor, I Presume? establishes that a Cardassian touching another's shoulders in a public setting is seeking a courtship ending in enjointment. A very flustered Bashir — who accidentally responded to Garak doing this by flirting with him — sputters that maybe the tailor was unaware it wasn't the human way, but since it's Garak, he was most likely trying to mess with the doctor and rolled with the flow. Or he was genuinely appreciative of Bashir but expressed it in a very Cardassian way. Or both. | |

Archie Comics: In one of the Xmas issues, Moose shows Jughead a jewellery store window with a birthstone ring. He then asks Jughead to find out from his girlfriend, Midge, if she'd like that ring for Christmas. So later, Jug casually asks Midge if she would like the ring in the store window. Midge kisses Jughead and runs off in ultimate excitement. Turns out the jeweller had since placed a diamond engagement ring in the birthstone's spot. Since Moose was normally so jealous that he was known to hospitalize other guys for merely talking to Midge, Jughead was now seriously in deep doo-doo. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Wildling custom is that a man wishing to 'marry' a spearwife has to kidnap or capture her while heavily risking injury, or even death, from the spearwife herself, who has been brought up to fight her suitors. If the man lives and proves himself worthy to her, he and the spearwife form a union. However, Jon Snow doesn't know this custom and doesn't even know Ygritte is a woman when he and Qhorin Halfhand capture her and her fellow wildlings during a ranging — and he didn't intend for this at all — but it is still taken by Ygritte to be a gesture of attraction and affection, especially when Jon saves her life shortly after this. Ygritte spends about half of the story trying to seduce Jon as a result, much to Jon's chagrin and embarrassment, while Jon (though he becomes more and more attracted to Ygritte) rejects her advances. | |

In The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World, When Idola pricks her ring finger on a cactus, Red uses his powers to produce a band-aid to keep the wound clean. He's unaware of her flustered reaction to this and thinks nothing of it until later on, where Rosie points out that in this world, few people have the funds for precious metal or jeweled bands. As such, proposals are often made with any kind of ring-shaped object... like that band-aid Red put on. He then tells Red to "take responsibility" and ask for Poseidon's blessing for Idola's hand in marriage. Red, now thoroughly aware of the implications and Poseidon's likely reaction, tries to get Idola to take it off already, only for her to preserve it with magic so she can wear it like an actual ring. | |

In episode 3 of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, Wallace accidentally proposes to Miss Flitt while picking up a lugnut that she mistakes for a wedding ring. Sorting this out takes up a good part of the plot of episode 4. | |

After viewing a particularly emotional piece, Vinyl Scratch tells Octavia she'd like to go on a "tour that lasts forever." Literally every other character in the Reading Rainbowverse interprets this as a proposal and starts preparing for her wedding, leading to Vinyl freaking out and locking herself in Fluttershy's bathroom. | |

Doctor Who: "The Aztecs": The Doctor accidentally gets engaged to Cameca by making her an offer that in her culture is a euphemistic marriage proposal. He apparently feels so badly about disappointing and leaving her that his libido goes AWOL for the next five or six centuries. He kinda-sorta proposes to River, twice. The first time, he's asking whether she's married, which she is, to him, and she just runs with it to mess up with him. The second time, she has been shot and he doesn't know that it's her. He tells her "survive, and I'll marry you". She regenerates. "The Day of the Doctor": The Doctor proposes to Queen Elizabeth I believing her to be a Zygon. She wasn't, and she accepts. He ends up marrying her, promising to be right back... and running off. That's why she wants his head on a pike. |

In Reborn, the merchant Oren realizes the Emperor's advisor/seer, Izra, is infatuated with him, but he doesn't quite feel the same. However, though Oren doesn't want to use Izra, he does recognize that having him as a long term ally will help in Oren's future diplomatic and trade endeavors. He asks Izra's sister Odrica how to demonstrate his intentions for a long-term friendship. She advises him on a public ritual he can do (while the group happens to be staying with Izra's priest friends), and the result is that every Suoduny worshiper in earshot starts raucously celebrting, an ecstatic Izra gushes in his language to them about his new husband, and Oren confused and pleased about how well their "friendship ritual" has gone. | |

Headhunted to Another World: At the end of chapter 8, the Demon Overlord gives Uchimura a runestone as a reward for his efforts thus far. To thank Ulmandra for helping him (and smooth things over after they had a spat over an unintended insult by him), he gives it to Ulmandra—not realizing that this is considered a marriage proposal among the demons. (Didja have to do it on bended knee?) He does it again when he buys a set of wedding goblets from a merchant as props for a gambit to establish trade ties with King Rampaige, and gives one to Ulmandra just because he thought she'd like it. | |

Done by James in one episode Big Time Rush. Apparently giving a rose to a princess is a marriage proposal in some foreign countries like Kerplankistan, and the king spends the episode setting up a wedding between his daughter and James. Uniquely, the princess doesn’t want the marriage either, but can’t go against her father. | |

Nerve Damage: After Rin rages about Shirou's stupidly overpowered magic style, Shirou offers to teach it to her. Rin points out that 1: It's completely incompatible with what she already knows and trying would kill her, and 2: You're only supposed to share your secrets with your own family. He shrugs and says he can teach her future children instead. There's a Beat, and then they both blush as they realize that the logical combination of those two facts means that he would have children with her, who he would then teach. Several times throughout the story, Rin catches herself thinking about their hypothetical overpowered children. | |

In the seventh Ciaphas Cain novel, Cain does this to the daughter of a noble (who's after a husband so she can stake her claim as the governor of her homeworld) by basically nodding his head and going "uh-huh?" through one conversation too many when she's hinting at it. He wouldn't really mind it since it means a life of ease with an attractive woman, but he can't actually resign his commission. He gets out of it when she dumps him for the leader of a nearby planet. | |

In Bravely Second, when Yew Geneolgia first meets Magnolia Arch, she's unconscious in the wreckage of her spaceship, and Yew uses a flower from a nearby magnolia tree to wake her up. When Magnolia wakes up, she accepts the flower he used as a gift. It later is revealed that, on the moon (where Magnolia is from), flowers are considered rare and valuable, and offering one as a gift is equivalent to a marriage proposal. As such, Magnolia spends a fair amount of time thinking that Yew had pledged to marry her. | |

The Rurouni Kenshin anime has a filler episode devoted to this trope, as Kenshin is told by his friends to give his girlfriend Kaoru a ring he found in a fish he caught. Kenshin had never heard of the Western custom of proposing with a ring, but Kaoru had—the poor girl believes this to be an engagement proposal. By the end of the episode, though, all is confessed (and the ring is returned to the original owner, who was this close to killing himself because he threw it away after a fight with his fiance, but now can give it back to her and she wears it proudly) ...and poor Kaoru is so disappointed that she's seen stuffing her face in the Akebeko to try cheering herself up. There's still a sweet scene at the end where Kenshin makes up with her by bringing her flowers, though. | |

How I Met Your Mother Ted accidentally takes the best man's jacket before a wedding. When he goes to break it off with a girl, he accidentally drops the ring he didn't know was in the jacket. As he picks it up, the girl answers the door to see Ted, kneeling in a tuxedo, holding a ring. A sparkling wine flute containing a ring was delivered to Ted and Robin's table while they were on the first anniversary date, rather than the table next to theirs. When Robin sees it she yells "Noo, no no no no no no no, No! No, no no no, no, no, No!" The situation is soon cleared up, but Ted's alarm at Robin being so horrified by the prospect of marrying him sparks a serious talk about their relationship, leading to their breakup. And it's Played With when Barney "proposes" to Abby, who was in on the plan, to show Ted how annoying he can be with girls. Abby isn't the sharpest nail in the box and thinks it's a real proposal, telling her dad "It finally happened, daddy!", Barney believing her to be 'doing a bit'. |
