Perhaps you could make the announcement that "further discussion" is necessary but thank everyone for their participation in the presentation....

There would be no good way of doing that. Nearly impossible.

I don't want to get married again,everyone who knows me knows that. My next to last proposal was very sudden & in front of others. He could not have planned it, it was following a tramatic event & he very emotional, I told him it was the emotions getting to him & we would dicuss it after things calmed down. I know the witnesses were uncomfortable.

I know someone who proposed on tv. She agreed at first so he could save face, then turned him down later, privately.

You could respectfully inform them that you concienciously object to the institution of MARRIGE because it IS the leading cause of divorce.explode

That is probably the only good way to handle it.

That is simple just say "NO". Some guy that has to make a big public show about proposeing is doing it to show off and not make it memorable/meaningful/and intimate for us.

If he wants to be a true gentleman he might announce it at a public place to family and friends but not the proposal.

I agree with that, the marrige should be private and meaningful. The Divorce should be infront of everybody in public.

If a person proposes in front of many people, obviously his game plan is to intimidate you into saying "YES".

This should not weight on you. This is his problem. If he decided to win big, then he should have prepared himself to lose big, as well.

Simply say "Thank you, but no".

And besides, somebody who attempts to manipulate people in this way, ain't a very good prospect anyway... (If he was indeed, manipulating). If he wasn't, then he had risked, and he had lost. He is a big boy.

If i propose, it'd probably be while she is well restrained on the wall of my dungeon...

I'd be holding the ring in one hand, and the thing she fears most in the other... ^_^
