* [https://web.archive.org/web/20111122131623/http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=173719 This] post from Lucasforums.
* Protip: If a man suggests eloping as a means of messing with your other friends' heads, [[The Private Diary of Elizabeth Quatermain|he might just really mean it]].
* Hal Jordan and Carol Ferris [http://community.livejournal.com/dc_nation/126691.html pretty much ''dared'' each other into a marriage proposal] in ''[[DC Nation]]''. Considering we're dealing with a [[Green Lantern]] and a Star Sapphire, the engagement was pretty much a game of chicken with the altar that would either end wonderfully or blow up in everyone's face. Both parties were pretty much daring each other to back out (and the other heroes were placing odds on which one would back down) up until the judge actually inked the certificate.
* In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' fanfic "[[Elemental Chess Trilogy|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, {{spoiler|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.
* Harry's proposal to Usagi in the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' crossover fic ''[[The Girl Who Loved]]'' at all wacky, but the aftermath ''was''. Usagi is so stunned (by both the proposal and the ring) that Chibi-Usa gets impatient. She takes Usagi's head in her hands and nods it for her, saying in a faux-grown-up voice, "Yes, Chibi-Usa's daddy, I will marry you." Usagi then shoves her away with a hand in the face to make the ''real'' acceptance.

* Subverted HARD with this ''[[Something*Positive]]'' Valentine's Day [https://web.archive.org/web/20140113012425/http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp02142007.shtml strip]. Randal Milholland starts off with his [[Author Avatar]] musing about his girlfriend, speaking directly to her, leading up to Popping THE Question and then WHAM!
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130813050948/http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp02152007.shtml The follow-up strip] is actually the third punchline.

* Let's face it folks, there's ''plenty'' of [[Truth in Television]] examples to back this up.
* [[Truth in Television]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130902154816/http://www.websnark.com/archives/2007/01/submitted_witho_1.html Websnark].
* A man and his girlfriend were at a baseball game. Right before the seventh-inning stretch, he receives a "congratulations" text message, and then afterward a marriage proposal from him to his girlfriend lit up on the big screen. So what? Lots of people propose on those giant screens. In this case, it was a prank by a "friend" of his, who even sent the text message. The clincher? ''She said yes.'' When the man firmly denied being behind the proposal the girlfriend was understandably rather irate at the stunt. Feeling humiliated, the two began to argue back and forth. The whole thing was caught on-camera and ''broadcast live to the whole stadium'' and probably several local TV stations. This was actually part of the (on-going) prank wars at College Humor. [https://web.archive.org/web/20100529051019/http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1774718 #6] to be exact.
* [[Magic: The Gathering|Richard Garfield]] had a custom card made and used it to propose to his future wife in a game.
