01 Aug Romantic Waterfall Marriage Proposal Goes Horribly Wrong In Viral Video

Marriage remains the apotheosis of a life well lived for vast swathes of the population.

Quite why one would commit to having “the happiest day of their life” quite so early into the book of life remains unclear, unless of course the whole institution is merely a vehicle for tax breaks and a dishwasher from Aunty Maude by way of a wedding congratulation gift.

If such cynical pursuits are the end game of marriage for some, I completely understand the desire to get hitched. If, though, marriage is an entirely romantic enterprise, the whole institution strikes me as mildly absurd. Any contractual negotiator will tell you that the terms of marriage, which its proponents blithely nod along to in a church full of several hundred witnesses, are astonishingly despotic.

Despite this, and the creeping sense that marriage in the 21st century is a little twee and outmoded, many people are still making the dizzying long-term commitment. Naturally, the filtered effervescent world of Instagram in which we now operate means that the moment of proposal must be as outlandish as possible, so as to create the ultimate #Instamoment.

Presumably that was the thinking behind this attempted proposal in La Plata County, Colorado. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out that way.
