Wacky Marriage Proposal | comment |
Marriage. True love. However you put it, the union between two (or more) people is a sacred commitment that should be undertaken with the utmost seriousness. Except in TV land! There, a man might propose marriage to a woman by building giant letters out of burning gelatin. He could dress up like a knight in shining armor. However he does it, it's going to be funny while still being serious (if at all). These kind of wacky marriage proposals even creep into serious dramas to provide comic relief. Also, some Fanfiction writers love to make their proposals as convoluted and wacky as possible — if they aren't overflowing with heartrending Purple Prose, that is. Sub-trope of Grand Romantic Gesture. Perilous Marriage Proposal is this trope, or when it either occurs in or foreshadows something dangerous happening. |

The wacky (sometimes horrifying) "prom-posals" in Clone High parody this concept— the students stage outlandish events (like flying in on helicopter and teaching a horse fetus to talk) just to ask girls to the prom. The winter prom. | |

An example that turns out to be anything but funny occurs on Desperate Housewives. Bree finally decides to divorce Orson, and Karl plans to propose to her with an airplane banner. Unfortunately, the plane's pilot has a heart attack and dies while flying. His wife, who doesn't know how to fly, crash-lands the plane onto Wisteria Lane, killing several people, including Karl. | |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: An example Gone Horribly Wrong: Hillary requested that her news anchor boyfriend Trevor would propose in a "special" way so he ends up doing so on live TV...while bungee-jumping off a bridge. He manages to say the words "Will you marry m..." before getting splattered on the concrete. For the record, Hillary was left confused over what he was trying to ask. When Philip and Vivian were on Soul Train instead of unscrambling Bames Jrown as James Brown, he wrote a marriage proposal instead and asked her to marry him using slang from the '70s. |

Played with in the comic book adaptation of the Beetlejuice cartoon. Beetlejuice ends up engaged as the result of a very old and weird law in the Neitherworld, which states that if a man spits his chewing gum into a woman's face, even accidentally, he has to marry her. The fact that he and the lady in question are complete strangers doesn't mitigate the law. | |

Gab Shiba: has Ruff desperately trying to propose to his boyfriend, Voff and repeatedly failing, with interruptions ranging from the mundane: hotel mates having loud sex, and being interrupted by a loud mariachi player to the more insane: seagulls stealing the ring, nearly losing it while skydiving and a shark accidentally knocking into the scuba proposal. All the effort Ruff put into it is amazing. | |

After waking up he proposes to [TamÃr] to "clear things up" after her complaining that she hates sleeping in separate rooms from him and other inconveniences (thanks to etiquette and her being a woman and his queen. TamÃr even lampshades it by calling Ki delirious. Which he admits. | |

At the start of Season 4 of Arrow, Oliver was going to propose to Felicity with a ring in a soufflé, but abandoned this idea when his city needed him again. He finally proposes to her in the mid-season finale, as part of his speech at the Star City Christmas tree lighting ceremony. This leads directly into a cliffhanger where she is almost killed. | |

Bones: Hodgins had several ways of trying to propose to his longtime girlfriend Angela. Eventually, he accepted that she didn't want a commitment, signifying this by spelling out "I Love You" with glowing shrimp (long story). She immediately turned around and proposed to him. In the eighth season finale, "The Secret in the Siege", Brennan proposes to Booth with a bag of beef jerky. And then Pelant has to screw things up... |

In one episode of Castle Martha expresses her annoyance at these claiming that all a woman really wants is a man down on one knee with tears in his eyes and a ring in his hand. Apparently Castle proposed to one of his ex-wives in a hot air balloon, and it was so cold he could barely get it onto her finger because they were shivering so bad. Perhaps foreshadowing the fifth season finale, where Castle does exactly this for Beckett. | |

In the Fullmetal Alchemist fanfic Flowers of Antimony, one of these takes place at the wedding of the above-mentioned Ed and Winry. The newlyweds hatch a plan to push together the fandom's favorite Maybe Ever After pairing, Roy and Riza, by turning Winry's wedding bouquet into a sort of shot put. She aims the weaponized flowers at Roy's head, Riza instinctively pushes him out of the way before she realizes what she's catching, and hilarity ensues. Dialogue later in the story does, at least, indicate that a real proposal was coming soon anyway. | |

In Borderlands 3, Wainwright Jakobs proposes to his boyfriend Sir Hammerlock in a manner that only the heir of the Jakobs corporation could pull off: he gets down on one knee and presents a rather sizable box to Hammerlock. The contents? A high-quality Jakobs revolver with the words "Will you marry me?" in fine engraving on its barrel (and a diamond for its front sight!). Hammerlock accepts. | |

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal: A man proposes to his girlfriend via blimp during a football game. "Oh, Todd! Somehow I knew you would do this!" Cue an airplane soon after flying a banner with her reply: NO. Oops. A tragic example when the girlfriend's father agrees to fly the plane with a banner that has the proposal on it... and it goes down in flames. The man is more interested in making sure she saw the proposal and hearing her answer than the fate of his would-be father-in-law. A particularly disgusting proposal involving a colonoscopy. Gross. The bonus panel reveals that she did marry him, but is understandably uncomfortable with talking about the proposal with their child. Proposing by etching it into a planet with a death laser isn't exactly a good idea when it causes your girlfriend to think you care more about your gadgets than about her. Naming the gene that you just discovered together "SUSANWILLYOUMARRYME". Shame it's the gene linked to syphilis susceptibility, though. Promise to put sunscreen on her children's backs but only spell "Will you marry me?" with it and let the rest burn. "Jenny": Trolling people by flying a plane with a banner proposing to a common name. |

In the epilogue of Medaka Box, set ten years after the main series, Zenkichi and Medaka meet up for the first time in years and reminisce about old times. Then Zenkichi challenges Medaka to one last sparring matchnote since they, like all their classmates, lost their superhuman abilities after growing up, it'll be a fair fight, saying "If I win, you have to marry me!" Medaka looks surprised for a moment, then gets a huge grin and says "Alright! But if I win, you have to marry me!" One of these actually caused trouble for Medaka and Zenkichi in the past. During the pair's first meeting at age 2, Medaka solved a ring puzzle for Zenkichi, which caused him to admiringly state that she must have been born to make others happy. Medaka, who at that point was verging on nihilism, was so galvanized by this statement that she proposed to Zenkichi on the spot; being a toddler and not really understanding, he turned her down. In the present, they both have feelings for each other, but they both also think that they've been Friend Zoned, Medaka because she believes that Zenkichi's original rejection still stands and Zenkichi because Medaka treats him more like a butler than a man. Thankfully things eventually get sorted out and they undergo a Relationship Upgrade. |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: The yearly Halloween Episode revolves around the main characters competing against one another to find a certain object by midnight, thus proving themselves to be the smartest person in the precinct. In the fifth season, it's a cummerbund with the words "Amazing Human / Genius" carved into it. Jake's longtime girlfriend Amy is fiercely competitive and spends the episode boasting that she knows Jake so well, there's no way he can get the drop on her. And then she finds the cummerbund... |

Downplayed on Kid Farm. While it was considered wacky to everyone else (BJ presented Lizzy with a large stack of mylar balloons as if it were her birthday instead, he asked her to marry him all in one word—"Lizzywillyoumarryme?"—and didn't make eye contact with her during it to boot), Lizzy herself knew what getting balloons meant. Even better, before she could answer for herself, her father preemptively said "She will". | |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it's directly stated that there is no requirement for love in marriage in Skyrim, so as soon as you help your local friend out with anything, odds are that they'll be receptive to your proposal.note Life in Skyrim being what it is - fraught with a lot of danger and uncertainty - the people don't care to spend time messing around with frivolities like courtship. How do you propose? You wear an amulet of Mara (the goddess of love and families) and wait for them to notice. If they express interest, you make the arrangements. | |

RealityCheck's Nyxverse has an example that counts more for the build-up to it than the proposal itself — after Twilight's ascension, Prince Blueblood's father gets hers drunk in order to trick him into agreeing to an Arranged Marriage. When Twilight's boyfriend Ink Spot hears about this, he uses an experimental unicorn teleportation network to get to Canterlot and bursts into the throne room in full Griffon armor (loaned from a sympathetic Griffon) in order to challenge Blueblood for Twilight's hoof in marriage. Except, by this point Celestia and Twilight have... convinced Blueblood's father to annul the contract; Blueblood himself is so freaked out that when Ink Spot runs in and challenges him, he forfeits and flees out a window. Ink Spot then proposes with a ring he picked up on the way, and she accepts. | |

While the proposal in the first installment of Skyhold Academy Yearbook was perfectly straightforward, those in the sixth installment definitely fall under this trope, although special mention must be given to the one made while the "groom" was under the effects of dental sedation... and didn't even realize who the "bride" was. The story isn't titled Disorienuptials for nothing. | |

Schitt's Creek: Patrick plans a romantic hike and picnic for his proposal, but an oblivious David whines about the length of the hike and then whines that he's hungry. Patrick gets frustrated and suggests turning around but he steps on a branch. David tends to Patrick's wounded foot, realizes he's been a jerk, apologizes, and insists they finish the hike, even going so far as to carry Patrick part of the way. When they reach a beautiful overlook, Patrick tries to put off the proposal but the still-hungry David insists on the picnic. Patrick has him retrieve a set of gold rings identical to the silver ones David always wears and gets down on one knee. He proposes to a weeping David, who says yes. | |

Gorgeous Gal, a fat flirtatious featherless fowl, wanted to marry Woody Woodpecker in the short 'A Fine Feathered Frenzy' after falling madly in love with him at first sight. Her proposal involved trapping him in a room in her mansion and appearing before him in a white wedding dress. There was a priest there ready to perform the ceremony. With her sexy voice, she called out to her "Baby" and gave him a wink and a smile. The woodpecker who didn't want to marry the smitten senior citizen got the heck out of there and swam to a small island. Gorgeous Gal's second proposal was her chubby arm peering out of a golden submarine and motioning for him to come to her with her index finger. She was wearing a giant wedding ring making her intentions clear. Woody tried to run but she grabbed him inside the watercraft and somehow managed to become Mrs. Woodpecker. | |

In A Thing of Vikings, Hiccup's marriage proposal to Astrid is almost normal by Norse standards. The three parts of the Norse mundr are all present—bride price, dowry, and morning gift. The key word there is almost, because Hiccup, being... well, Hiccup, he spent literally months coming up with insufficiently grand ideas for Astrid's bride price, because he felt that it had to be commensurate with both her value to him and to expectations of the "Hero Of Berk". He manages, though. Upon being rewarded the ransom for King Harthacnut (100,000 pounds silver—in an era where one pound silver is the yearly wage for a day laborer), Hiccup promptly takes Astrid aside and asks her to marry him. When she accepts, stunned, they return to the meeting where the mundr is read, and the announcement of the bride price to her parents is not only the entirety of a literal King's Ransom, it is also regency of Berk's new vassal city, Vedrarfjord. And then, for the morning gift, he not only makes her a gilder-suit and a flaming ax and a fortune for herself, he gives her explicit legal authority equal to himself and his father, the chief. | |

Seen in the Alarm für Cobra 11 episode "Die Autobahnpolizei", when Klaus Weller shows off a spectacular way to propose to his girlfriend Tina; he drives down the highway at 230 km an hour with a fake license plate on the car and wearing a rubber pig mask, climbs out the car's sunroof, and perches on the top of the vehicle, pulling back his jacket to reveal a T-shirt with the message in German "Tina, do you want to marry me?" Of course, this causes a spectacular explosive traffic pileup behind Klaus, but he gets away with it unscathed. | |

The Perry Bible Fellowship has a twisted variation where a man tries to propose by arranging dead bodies to read "Will You Marry Me?" Unfortunately for him, the woman doesn't bother looking and isn't amused. | |

Amnesia: Memories' fandisc Amnesia LATER downplays it in Kent's After Story.

Kent tells her to not read it, but she ends up reading it out loud, much to his embarrassment. He decides to go along with it and just proposes to her then and there, and she accepts. | |

In The Smoke, a man tries to propose to his girlfriend by hanging a banner from a high-rise building. He slips and ends up hanging from the banner a long distance from the ground. When the firefighters arrive, they locate the girlfriend and it becomes apparent that she would have declined the proposal. However, with all the news stations covering the event, she loves the publicity and thus when the man is rescued she accepts his proposal on national TV. One assumes that once the publicity dies down, she will break off the engagement. | |

Jethro's marriage proposal to Jane Hathaway happens as Jethro is in bed recovering from a gunshot wound as well as from a stern lecture from Jed Clampett (the long-postponed "long talk" Jed intends to have with Jethro throughout the series). | |

Our Miss Brooks: In the cinematic series finale, the marriage proposal manages to be heartfelt, in character, and very much atypical. Miss Brooks finds out she's been de facto engaged to Mr. Boynton when Mrs. Davis introduces Mr. Boynton's mother as her new boarder in Miss Brooks' place (so Mrs. Boynton can be close to her son without having to live with Mr. Boynton and Miss Brooks). Miss Brooks then goes to the zoo to meet up with Mr. Boynton. With This Ring comes into play as Miss Brooks finds a ring in a box of Cracker Jack, which is promptly stolen by a female monkey. Nonetheless, Miss Brooks and Mr. Boynton leave arm in arm to see how the wallpaper Miss Brooks selected will look in their future home. | |

The Elenium trilogy features an accidental Wacky Marriage Proposal. The bride and groom possess identical rings, heirlooms of their respective families, and the groom needed to use them both on his most recent mission. When he returns, he offers the bride's ring to her by slipping it onto her hand. Trouble is, he can't tell the difference between the two rings... but she can, so when he gives her his own ring by mistake she's thrilled to tell everyone that he just proposed to her. He's deeply taken aback - not because he doesn't love her, which he very much does, but because theirs would be a May–December Romance and he didn't want to do that to her. But since he can't bear to hurt her either, he goes through with the marriage and they're very happy together. | |

In Anansi Boys, Fat Charlie makes one of these as cover when his homicidal former boss tries to get him somewhere more private. He presents his date with a lime instead of a ring, and because of a series of unlikely events leading up to this, nobody even questions it. (His proposal is also, as we see in the epilogue, quite sincere.) | |

This is the entire basis of Bobby Crosby's Marry Me (Bobby Crosby) — a lesbian fan of the rock idol female lead was holding up a sign that read "Marry Me" at a concert. She needed to sneak off to go to the bathroom, so she had her male friend hold up the sign, hoping to get it autographed. Said idol saw the sign and capriciously accepted his "proposal" for complicated personal reasons. A priest happened to be in the audience and had them wed on stage. Plot Ensues. | |

In Green Wing, Martin proposes to Caroline by having the girls from Human Resources cheer out the message like cheerleaders. When she says no, they chant, "She said no! She said no!" Mac's proposal was to set up a model train set through the hospital with a train ticket and a Hula Hoop in the back carriage. Except Mac never meets her at the arranged time due to him learning that he's going to die. Guy arrives instead because he wanted to know what it would feel like to be in Mac's place. Caroline decides to marry Guy instead - though he eventually lets Mac marry her first. |

In one episode of M*A*S*H, Hawkeye tries to propose to his old flame Carleye. The proposal comes out as, "Why shouldn't we? Why couldn't we? Let's just — Let's!" In addition to his phrasing, Carleye then points out that he literally backed himself into a corner (of the tent) in the process. She says no (although it's less about the proposal and more about the continued existence of the factors that led to their original breakup). | |

Inverted for laughs in Digger: Wombats do not 'marry', they instead 'contract' with a prospective partner for a state of arranged cohabitation (the contract is for one to five years, not counting renewal options), with everything else (including reproductive clauses) being an addendum. When Grim-Eyes is told of this she finds the whole thing weird and accuses Digger of having no romance in her soul. Digger responds that the arrangement has worked out fine for them so far. | |

Well when he finally finds out who she is, he accidentally proposes to her due to not knowing the customs of the Seanchan. While they do eventually grow to care for one another, the way it came about was just all over the wacky scale even if it was ultimately destined. Lampshaded by Mat later on. | |

In Kyo Kara Maoh!, Yuuri accidentally proposes to Wolfram by slapping him for making rude comments about Yuuri's mother. Apparently slapping a noble on the left cheek is the proper way to give a marriage proposal, which no one tells Yuuri about until after it's all done with. And because he refused to take it back (thinking he was taking back his offense at the comments about his mom) it's made permanent. | |

Played with in the Psychonauts fanfic, A Most Special Ring, where Raz tried to do the traditional down-on-one-knee way, only to lose his nerve. Lili, wanting to know what got him so worked up, reads his mind and sees what he wanted to tell her. She immediately says yes, meaning that she accepted before Raz technically asked her. | |

In Volume 22 of High School D×D, Issei proposes to Akeno in the middle of a Rating Game, while fighting Akeno's father Barakiel and with Akeno not physically present. This unnerves Barakiel and contributes to his loss. This is one-upped in the next book when Xenovia and then Irina (the latter following the former's lead) propose to Issei during another Rating Game. When he says yes, they start fighting twice as hard as they were before. | |

This unintentionally occurs in Downton Abbey: A New Era, where Molesley finally proposes to Phyllis Baxter after many years of Will They or Won't They?. Phyllis has to tell him to start calling her by her First Name only. However, the thing that makes it entirely wacky is that the couple is unaware of one of Film Production's live microphones. This causes the proposal to be heard unintentionally by the ENTIRE house! | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. "The Big Mac Question" centers around Big Mac and his girlfriend, Sugar Belle, both with different ways to propose to one another, with disastrous results: Big Mac's plan has him tie different notes to a bunch of apples and scatter them around town for Sugar Belle to find, telling her to meet him for a picnic where he was going to pop the question. But he gives the apples to Discord, who decides to use his magic to bring them to life and tell them where to go. Unfortunately, Discord didn't tell the apples who to give the messages to, so they start popping up everywhere and giving the messages to random ponies. Things get even worse when the apples all join together and form a giant apple monster that rampages through town. As for Sugar Belle, she has Mrs. Cake bake 22 different desserts and place a piece of paper in each one with a different part of her proposal written on them. But Mrs. Cake becomes so stressed out about making 22 things that she mixes everything up and causes the desserts to all taste terrible. Then Spike volunteers to help by transporting the notes into the desserts with his fire breath, which causes them all to burn up. Notably averted in a Meaningful Background Event in the same episode, where Lyra and Bon Bon get engaged to each other in a fairly conventional way. The fact that they're doing this during the above-mentioned apple monster rampage is more a testament to how used to giant monster attacks Ponyville residents are. |

Wolf's proposal to Virginia in The 10th Kingdom. Not only does he preface the evening, when Virginia initially tries to weasel out of dinner, by saying he "spent a lot of time planning this spontaneous evening", he: has a song composed especially for her, played by a string quartet on the roof of their carriage (which is filled to overflowing with flowers); rents an entire restaurant just for the two of them, with a meal consisting of 13 main courses; and purchases the most expensive engagement ring he can find — a magical singing ring with a sickeningly sweet cherub face and shimmering, bell-like voice which extols the virtues of their love to Virginia. She turns him down out of outrage when she learns he spent money they could have used to accomplish their goals on the proposal instead. At the end of the miniseries, he tries again, in a much more restrained manner, and she accepts. Even better is after the first disaster, Wolf throws the ring into a river and viewers see it eaten by a fish. At the end, while eating dinner, Virginia cuts open her fish and finds the ring. | |

He got her grandmother's engagement ring (which was literally thrown at him), but couldn't work up the nerve to actually propose. Eventually, she got tired of waiting and (right after sex no less) asked: Then they high-fived. He gave her the ring itself the next day at breakfast. |

On The Golden Girls, Stan hides Dorothy's engagement ring in a baked potato, which she refuses to eat because she's full. Stan then asks her to stick her finger in the potato, and when she does, she pulls out the scalding ring and dumps it in a pitcher of water. Why the potato (and thus the ring) would still be hot at the end of the meal is unclear. According to Dorothy, his original proposal also qualified - he put the ring in her glass of champagne, and she swallowed it. | |

Ced's proposal to Lovita on The Steve Harvey Show. First he gets a radio DJ to pop the question during Lovita's favorite radio program but she changes the station and wins tickets to a concert instead; Ced then pops the question on a JumboTron at a Bulls game but Lovita misses it entirely because she is in the bathroom and the screen is shown earlier than Ced would have liked. When Ced does manage to drag Lovita out of the bathroom, the proposal is gone and in its place is an ad for rhinoplasty, infuriating Lovita. Finally, he prepares a romantic dinner for Lovita and puts the ring in a piece of pie. Lovita refuses to eat the pie, saying she's full. Ced keeps asking her to have a bite of the pie. Lovita starts to eat it but then puts the pie down. Steve, having witnessed the whole exchange, gets mad and takes the ring out of the pie and shows it to Lovita explaining that Ced had been trying to propose to her all week. She then says yes. | |

At the end of the movie Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection, Lelouch comes after C.C., when she tries to leave without saying goodbye. Ultimately wanting to join her in Walking the Earth to watch for those who would misuse the power of Geass, he even decides to rename himself "L.L.", likely due to the fact that he now carries a Code of Immortality as she does. Her tender, tearful smile in response can be taken as C.C. accepting Lelouch's "proposal". | |

A good majority of proposals in Fire Emblem: Awakening are examples; from wedding rings inside prank boxes to confession through sword there aren't many cases of a standard question. Most scenarios are also proposals just as soon as the two seem to like each other; the moment two people show any sign of interest, it's instant marriage. | |

How I Met Your Mother: At the end of season seven, Barney and Quinn are trapped by airport security because he has a mysterious box containing a magic trick that he refuses to explain. Everyone starts getting reasonably pissed off until he caves and just does the trick. You can probably guess what sparkly jewelry is at the end of it. Ted has a spur-of-the-moment cheesy romantic moment when he hands Stella a stuffed orange kangaroo at an arcade. She's understandably confused until he explains that he had been trying to get the big fake ring, but you know how those crane machines are. Barney in season eight proposes to Robin. He sets up the 'last play he'll ever run', including convincing Robin's Sitcom Arch-Nemesis to fake-date him. |

Pierre Curie to Marie in Madame Curie. He couches the whole thing in terms of a math theorem or physics formula; they each work better together than apart. Not sure how true to life the proposal was, but amusing to watch. It's not word for word, but very close to the spirit of letters he wrote after he'd proposed, while she was thinking it over. | |

Frasier did this when Niles proposed to Daphne. Although the build-up throughout the episode was leading to one of these, it was ultimately subverted; it turned out when Daphne arrived at the apartment that she had the flu and a roaring headache, so Niles got everyone out and ended up just proposing to her quietly. Frasier tackling the trumpeter was the best part of that. | |

Happened on Friends, where Mike keeps on proposing to Phoebe, only to have her deride all of his attempts as "cliche" just before he gets around to it. | |

Frozen II: Apparently, a standard Northuldra proposal involves standing atop the antlers of two reindeer in the middle of a herd of reindeer, waiting for your beloved to be brought into earshot, and then asking the question at the top of your lungs while flower petals are flung up around you. | |

Life with Derek had two of them: In a Flash Back episode, Casey and Derek have such a lousy rapport that they try torpedoing their parents' marriage plans - and succeed. In the end, Casey proposes on behalf of her mother, and Derek accepts on behalf of his father. At their junior prom, Sheldon proposes to Emily in front of the entire student body. He's about to move to Newfoundland with his parents, and is making a last-ditch effort to hold onto Emily. |

9-1-1: At the beginning of the Valentine's Day Episode, a guy tries to pull one by bringing his girlfriend up in a plane and faking engine problems so that she will open up the manual where he has written a proposal in. Things go wrong though as the girlfriend soon collapses due to all the stress effecting her broken heart syndrome. Even after the boyfriend is able to land the plane and the paramedics are able to revive her, the girlfriend still says yes to the proposal. She does give her boyfriend a good slap in the face after he puts the ring on, though. Played for Drama in a season two episode where a guy tries to propose to his girlfriend by coming up an escalator and proposing with a Ring Pop, only for the floor of the escalator to collapse and cause the guy to fall. When the paramedics are able to get him out, and his girlfriend says yes, he dies seconds later due to internal bleeding. |

The Contractually Obligated Chaos series has two for the main pairing, the first of which is literally a contract (hence the name of the series). The second is slightly more traditional, in the sense that there's a ring, but there's no actual proposal; he just slips a ring onto her hand while she's not paying attention. As he points out, the contract makes asking her sort of redundant anyway. | |

I Dream of Jeannie: When Major Nelson finally proposes to Jeannie (that is to say, makes a proposal of his own free will that eventually results in him marrying Jeannie later in the season), he does so by merely introducing her to Dr. Bellows and General Shafer as his fiancé. It Makes Sense In Context, as Jeannie has been willing and eager to marry him since as early as the second episode of the first season. | |

Life Is Strange: Before the Storm: In episode 2, when the original actress is late, Rachel ropes Chloe into playing the Ariel to her Prospera in the school's production of The Tempest. If you get all the lines right, Rachel will improv a proposal on stage, complete with going down on one knee, using full Shakespearean language. Afterwards, she'll say she meant it, and that she's counting it as real. | |
