Whisper chain marriage proposal (World record)

Jake Bronstein began a whisper chain that successfully passed through 59 people, a new world record. With his girlfriend Kristina Hoge completely unaware of the plan, Bronstein sent the message “Kristina, will you marry me?” around a roomful of strangers. After the proposal passed through 59 people, a random stranger whispered the message in the ear of a completely shocked Hoge.

Just watch the beginning and then fast forward to the 2:45 mark, unless you are the kind that likes to build up the drama.

Yup, more creative than my proposal.

At Tuesday night’s commission meeting, Mayor Jim Swan read a statement criticizing Otero’s comments as “irresponsible” and said they had brought Kissimmee “criticism, ridicule and sensationalism.” The mayor tonight said he answered 60 citizen e-mails, half complaining that the proposal would violate the separation of church and state and the other half from people “incensed by the bigoted remarks.”

Commissioners voted 4-1 to nix the logo change. Otero was in the minority.
