Metro- This Valentine’s Day proposal is definitely not what you expect. And Brad’s girlfriend Jenny Davies definitely struggles to see the funny side.
First, there’s an elaborate build up, where 24-year-old Brad, from Southampton, is seen hiding a small engagement ring sized box in his trousers. As he beckons Jenny over and gets down on one knee, she covers her face in shock. ‘You know you make me the happiest man in the world. I’m shaking but I love you to bits, you know that, right?’ he says to her. I want you to make me the happiest man in the world. I have got a question to ask you,’ he goes on, bringing out the small box. Cue meaningful pause, before Brad opens the box to reveal a tea bag and asks ‘will you make me a cup of tea?’ Brad insists Jenny has already forgiven him, telling MailOnline: ‘I grovelled for a bit and played it back to her and she saw the funny side. ‘I got my cup of tea within 15 to 20 minutes.She was a bit annoyed about it but she knows what I’m like.’ There aren't many times a woman would rather make a cup of tea than accept a marriage proposal, but this has got to one of them, right? She can act upset all she wants, but there is a reason that she ended up making that tea for her dickhead boyfriend. That reason is that she was relieved that he didn't choose the most romantic day of the year to offer up the most unromantic gesture of all time. You think she was mad there? Imagine what it would have looked like if Brad had gotten up while watching television from a different couch, positioned his cell phone across the room, called his girlfriend over, and legitimately proposed to her in the most mundane way possible. There may have been a minute there where she was excited about being engaged, but that moment would have been fleeting when she realized she was just standing around her boyfriend's basement doing absolutely fucking nothing on Valentine's Day. I am not saying she wouldn't have said yes in the moment. I am saying that the second she started repeating the story to her friends and she saw their reactions, this would have become a source of bitterness that likely would have prematurely ended their marriage. That doesn't excuse her douchebag boyfriend that chose to play with her emotions for no other reason than his own sick and twisted sense of humor. I mean, this gag served no purpose whatsoever. If you're going to be an asshole at least be a funny asshole. This video was just about the most boring thing I have ever watched. However, as far as results are concerned, asking for a hot tea was just about the best possible outcome for both of them once he went down on bended knee. A stupid prank on Valentine's Day is worth, at most, a year of hostility, but a stupid proposal on Valentine's Day? That resentment lasts forever.
