Daily proposal discussion

How do you feel about accepting an intimate wedding proposal -- and then learning your family and friends had been secretly watching the entire ordeal?

They weren't hiding in some nearby bushes.

They were watching the proposal while it streamed live online.

Seriously, it's happened -- well, at least once. Jezebel tells about a guy who live-streamed his proposal online.

Online commenters are divided on the idea's appeal. Some people think it's sweet to secretly incorporate your significant other's friends and family in such a monumental event.

Then, there's the argument that the approach brings something usually private into the public sphere -- and is more evidence that today's 20- and 30-somethings assume everybody wants to be intimately involved in their personal developments.

Would I watch a friend's proposal while it streamed live online? Sure.

Would I watch a stranger's proposal while it streamed live online? Probably.

I'm voyeuristic like that.

Nonetheless, relating a proposal's details countless times seems like one of the best parts of being engaged.

Let's hope the Internet's rise doesn't entirely diminish our obsession with a good story.
