Quiz Tomorrow

Now that wedding season is officially over, gone are the days of seeing countless wedding photos on Facebook and Instagram. But sadly, this does not mean proposal season is over. At some recent point, the fad of secretly filming or taking pictures of a marriage proposal has taken society by storm. These once intimate and special moments are now captured and posted (with the correct filter) through all the tubes of the internet. I believe there are three different reasons for this new occurrence. First, couples believe capturing this event on film or camera will add to their own future happiness. B: They feel that as inter-web users in love, it is their duty to set an example for those not yet engaged. Lastly, they believe their social superiors on The Facebook and The Twitter (who receive far more "likes") expect this of them. Of course, this always runs the risk of witnessing an awkward rejection. Fortunately for people during the Regency Era, this embarrassment of a failed proposal would never be captured on The Cloud. Luckily for us, we still have Jane Austen to show us just how tragic a failed proposal can be.
