Guy’s Proposal Will Probably Get Him Banned From The Met For Life, But It Was Totally Worth It
The story of this epic proposal deserves an exhibition in some love museum. Recetly, a guy named Chris took his girlfriend Marybeth to the iconic Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City to pop the big question, raising the bar for all romantics.
“As we walked the aisles of art from ancient times and contemporary alike, we happened upon a room of Picasso’s art (Marybeth’s favorite),” Chris writes. “My brother and sister in law were able to then hang the painting I had made of myself proposing to Marybeth wearing the red polka dot dress next to a Picasso. After I was given the signal I brought my girlfriend to the painting where she began immediately crying when she realized that the painting was of what was about to take place.”
He then bent the knee: “She nodded yes as tears traveled down her rosy cheeks. Her cousin, who had been undercover waiting for them to arrive at the museum, beautifully documented the moment through her photography.” The joyful moment was disrupted by security guards, who demanded the painting removed and suggested the partners in crime leave the building.
“I knew she’d be wearing that dress because I had her mom buy it a few weeks in advance for her and then convinced her to wear it that day.” He also contacted a few small museums for permission to perform a similar stunt, but none agreed. “I just said f it and decided I just do it at the biggest museum I could think of and ask for forgiveness rather than permission.”

“Soon after I rose back to my feet, we were greeted by a less than happy guard who told us to remove the painting”
“After a few more quick photos, we left the building and the rest is history or should I say…art history”
I hope the museum curators appreciate how sweet this is and let them come back XD he didn’t mean any harm and he didn’t hurt anything
Absolutely the right decision to just beg for forgiveness. I highly doubt this was going to turn into some sort of epidemic trend. Boooooo to the galleries. People take art way too seriously.
I got yelled at by a security guard at the National Gallery of Art in DC for literally pointing at a painting. Not touching it, I was seriously standing about 5 feet back from the painting and my arm wasn't even extended... i was just pointing out an interesting detail to my cousin, and next thing I know this security guard was telling me to step away from the painting. It was very strange and also very embarrassing. I left shortly after and it totally ruined my experience.
