Proposing to the woman you love is a terrifying experience. You get down on one knee in public, present a gem you’ve gone into debt for, and hope for the best-case scenario: having sex with only one woman for the rest of your life. The
absolute LAST thing on the planet I’d want after that is to get grilled by a reporter like I’m a coach after losing a playoff game.
But that’s what happened to Josh Mullin, who proposed to girlfriend Ashley Baldwin when he arrived at the Kansas City airport on Thursday morning. Mullin’s act was inadvertently caught on camera by a KMBC news crew filming a segment on the cost of eating healthy at the airport. Reporter Brenda Washington, alerted to the situation by the cameraman, flagged the happy couple down, then told them they looked too young and asked to see the Ashley’s ring. GAHHHHH it’s brutal to watch. If I ever propose to a woman, it’s happening in a secluded broom closet. Or, if I’m being honest, a strip club.

Sucks for him, public engagements are the worst. Especially when jumbo-trons or flash mobs are involved. Nothing worse than some choreographed proposal.
Sweet, but awkward and incredibly uncomfortable to watch – much like the first time you tape yourselves having sex.
Did that news reporter arrive in a worm-hole from ‘The Jefferson’s'?
Girth, I was just about to say the same thing. Hair, clothes, attitude: 1973.
Good job getting their names, too.
He proposed to his girlfriend at the airport? Jesus, man, have a little dignity.
/actually proposed to girlfriend (now wife) at the airport in Philadelphia by tricking her into thinking she was having drinks in the first-class lounge with Top Chef contestant Jennifer Carroll.
“awkward and incredibly uncomfortable to watch – much like the first time you tape yourselves having sex.”
Yourselves? You mean there is supposed to be somebody else?
