Elaborate Wedding proposal, short marriage

5 

Here is an example of an elaborate gay marriage proposal.   I know a guy who proposed to his GF high above in a hot air balloon ride.  He arranged somebody from the ground to write the words "will you marry me" so that his GF saw it from the air ballon ride.  It was very elaborate and must have been expensive.  Even the staged proposal of Kris Humphries to Kim Kardashian was elaborate with rose petals and candles.

Nothing wrong with an elaborate proposal and it shows that the proposing person put some thought and effort on it.  But considering that the recent divorce rate range from 8.1% to 14.2% when comparing the different states, I would rather see a simply proposal and lower divorce rate.  It seems that Americans are so romantic with their marriage proposal but does not really show enough romance and work to keep the marriage.   Kris and Kim were only married for 72 days!  Shorter if it was not for the long divorce settlement.   I say people should work on the marriage and not on the proposal.  I hope this gay couple can stay married once they marry.
