Creature native to Australia and it doesn’t kill her?
Wonderful indeed.

[LurksNoMore]

That’s awesome. Also, a very unusual combination of tags!

So, he got her a $5 ring?

Never quite understood such public displays of affection like this but fair enough, you do you, and some are quite sweet. But you have to be so so sure of your standing with your partner though, the misanthropist in me is always curious about all the times the proposer didn’t get the answer they were hoping for.

Good thing some other person didn’t whip out a $5 note while the bird was in mid-flight or the guy would have had been obligated to marry them instead.

Crikey! How much can a koala bear!

Or you could just trust your instinct and take a risk. Not quite my cup of tea either though if I’m honest.

So much Australiana.

edit: this video makes me wonder how “Australia Zoo” can call themselves a zoo.

My philosophy on marriage proposals is “if you don’t have a pretty good idea of how your partner is going to react then you probably shouldn’t be popping the question yet.” That goes for public as well as private proposals.
