This Is How Some Millennials Have Ruined Engagements (And Weddings!) Here’s Proof.

Millenials, I may be about to pick on you (again).  I’m going to put out a disclaimer here – I love a lot of you, but some of y’all have gone and lost your minds.

Now, we may have reached full-blown crazy when people are buying engagement ring phone cases, so that they can give their beloved the perfectly picked-out (by the chick, of course) ring, encased in a phone, so that a proposal will be videotaped for the purpose of it being shared with the masses.  Lord forbid a marriage proposal be something a couple keeps private these days.

Side note – Did you guys know that couples these days have hashtags associated with their weddings?  It’s the thing, dontchaknow.  Engaged couples pick cute and kitschy hashtags – usually that goes with one or both of their last names.  So, say Awesomely Badass Writer Hannah married Tim Tebow (I’m quite certain that’s going to happen, by the way – I’m putting it on my vision board).  Their wedding hashtag would have to be something like #TeamTebleau.  I know, I can do way better.  I just did this one on the fly.  Mainly because I myself got married like a grownup and not with the mindset that everyone is their own brand and everyone’s wedding is a pretend reality show.

Anywho – back to everyone these days videotaping their proposals.  As if over-the-top weddings weren’t enough – I mean, we’re at the point where broke couples are asking for other people to pay for their weddings.

Because gotta get dem likes on social media yo.

So with the culture of over-the-top weddings, you have to first have an over-the-top proposal.  Because you deserve that.  And it can’t be spontaneous. What are you thinking, OMG?  It has to be planned, plotted, rehearsed, full of good makeup, angles and lighting:

(Yes, John Crist.  YES.)

And of course, for said rehearsed and star-studded (you’re the celebrity!) proposals, you have to have the right phone case to record it.  Thank goodness, millennials now have the world’s first engagement ring phone case to do that.  Because of course they do:

What in the Actual Crap.

I can’t be the only one who is shaking her head at all of this, am I?  Am I seriously the only one?  Because stop the world.  I want to get off.

Seriously. Make it staaaaahp.
