    That makes me happy. Also, ashamed—my boyfriend and I have been living together for nearly 12 years. Last year—a full year, mind, after NY legalized same-sex marriage—we looked at one another, shrugged, and wandered with a friend down to City Hall, got hitched, came home, and watched a 30 Rock marathon. I wish one of us had had the forethought to stage a full-out production, but we didn't even propose.

    Ah well. Love to the happy intendeds, and good for Utah for not always seeming like a homophobic, terrifying place.

      Salt Lake City is pretty progressive and liberal. They've had a pride parade for 10ish years. It's outside of SLC that gets uncomfortable with us gays.

      Understood. Back home, my small town was pretty progressive for the deep south, but anywhere other than there, Birmingham, or Mobile, and I'd usually be pretty nervous.

    How does one acquire so many friends so capable of dancing like that?

      Everyone who is gay or gay-friendly can dance like that. Don't you know anything?

    Oh that's lovely. Kind of makes my proposal (standing outside in a trench coat with a boombox over my head) seem less fabulous.

      I think a more appropriate trench coat proposal would have been to not wear any clothes under the trenchcoat, stick the ring on your wang and them WHAM! Rip open the coat like a pervy old man.

      I'm going to write that down... maybe I'll get divorced and have to convince some aging former debutante to be my special lady.

    Crying... but, one guy is proposing while the other lives with a roommate? They're not living together yet?

    I am so cynical and hate public proposals, especially ones that involve crowds and dancing, and ugh, I am crying like a fucking baby at this. Totally lost it when the couple I assume are his parents danced out.

      I gave up being cynical a few years ago and now totally cry at things like this. It feels damn good.

      I'm pregnant and it's overpowering my inclination to be cynical. Now I just want to watch happy stuff and weep. It's great.

    ...then they both got wood and lived happily ever after. The End.

    (I like romantic stories with happy endings)

      This is a cool picture I randomly grabbed because you deserve something more original than Orson Welles clapping for that TRULY BRILLIANT COMMENT. Kudos, Snorty.

    I think the uncomfortable looking man at 1:58 was actually just looking for some 3/4 inch plywood.

    That said, I think I have something in my eye... damn.

      This is the most amazing thing I've seen in a while. Every woman (and dude) should be so lucky.

      Even the uncomfortable older male relatives made me smile.

      I'd give it a A++.

      (The only minor flaw was that he couldn't stand there and just experience it, but had to get out his cell phone and start taping it for the first half. But ya gotta forgive him, he was gobsmacked.)
