Public Proposal of the Day: So the story is (ostensibly) this: Matt wanted to ask his girlfriend Ginny to marry him. So he arranged for her to be taken to see Fast Five in movie theater filled with her friends and family (unbeknownst to her). During the previews, a different sort of trailer aired: One in which Matt is shown asking Ginny’s dad for his daughter’s hand in marriage.

Long story short, she said yes. And the 100 strangers in attendance were rewarded with being the first people to ever get their money’s worth at a screening of a Fast and Furious sequel.

I love creative marriage proposals.

“‎I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
