How could you say no?
With the rise of social media and viral and elaborate marriage proposals, the pressure sure is on for a unique and romantic proposal.
A good way to overcome the pressure of staging something expensive and elaborate is to propose in a fun, quirky way using something you both love.
For Scottish man Jim Lardner, he thought using a takeaway food container would do the trick.
"Can you write will you marry me on the box with the onion toastie. She will be ecstatic. Thanks."
It doesn't seem Jim had considered his proposal would be unsuccessful.
He shared the sad news on Twitter which reads: "Shoutout to Kilbowie Cafe . . . She said no."
The man's Twitter followers did their best to try and cheer him up.
One writes: "Who eats a toastie with a fork?"
Another questioned his previous partner's request to have onions added to hers.
"How could you say no to that," writes another.
"You'd have said yes if it was ham and cheese," says one Twitter follower.
One hospitality worker said requests like this used to make their day.
"Nah when I worked in hospitality this s**t would have made my day, I'd be like 'phone us and tell us if she says yes'," they write.
Thankfully Jim seems to have taken the proposal rejection in his stride.
