B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping my ideal proposals into the ol’ VCR. 

Now, I want to be so clear about two things up top: 

1. I’m not in a relationship, and I can assure you that if I were, y’all would know, as I openly share my love life with the internet.

2. I know the likelihood of getting any of these proposals is probably slim to none, but hey, a girl can dream, and you have to keep a sense of whimsy in the current hellscape we’re living in. 

Alrighty. Let’s get into it. 

If you don’t know, Valentine’s Day is actually one of my favorite holidays and leans into the Elle Woods part of my Elle Woods/Elvira personality. 

I’ve said this before, but I love Valentine’s Day because it doesn’t just represent romantic love; it’s a celebration of love in general, be it self-love, platonic love, etc… 

However, today, we are gonna play in the romantic love space. 

You see, as someone who grew up in the era of rom coms and is also a creative (🥴), I do, occasionally, partake in some romantic fantasies. 

I’m not someone who’s had my entire wedding planned since childhood or anything, but there are a few key pieces I’ve thought about. 

For example, if I ever get married, I want to walk down the aisle to “Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star, I’d love for my first dance to be to “Reflecting Light” by Sam Phillips (aka the song Lorelai and Luke dance to at Liz’s wedding in Gilmore Girls), and I’d like to get married in the fall. 

I don’t have any other strong preferences for a wedding (which is obviously subject to change). 

But I do have three ideal proposals. 

And, again, I’ll be 100% fine if I don’t get proposed to in any of these ways, but I thought it would be fun to share them with you, in order of the most to least delusional. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are my three ideal proposals: 

10 Things I Hate About You musical number proposal 

Here’s the deal. I know how involved this would be, but I will say that my alma mater has a soccer field that looks like the one in 10 Things I Hate About You, so I think it could work? Maybe? Plus, as someone who was in marching band throughout high school, y’all know I have a soft spot for a stand tune. Finally, people have been replacing “baby” with my name in songs my entire life, and I can’t name a better time to sub it in than a proposal.

Gilmore Girls “A thousand yellow daisies” proposal 

While this proposal doesn’t require an entire (and literal) song and dance, the logistics on this one are crazy. For those unfamiliar, Max proposes to Lorelai with a thousand yellow daisies in Gilmore Girls, and even though he sucks, the scene of Lorelai surrounded by daisies in the lobby of the Independence Inn is one of my favorites in the entire series. The only problem is that I don’t want to be wasteful, so I don’t know how it would be possible to pull this off in a sustainable way.

Schitt’s Creek “Simply the Best” proposal 

David and Patrick are one of my favorite modern pop culture couples, and as someone who identifies as a Patrick sun, I would love nothing more than to be serenaded with Noah Reid’s cover of “Simply the Best.” Again, I know that there’s still a level of planning needed here, but IMO, it’s easier than trying to find an eco-friendly way to bring me a thousand yellow daisies or stage an entire musical number.
