But first....let me get down on one knee and pour my heart out.

"Marriage, marriage is what brings us together today", a great quote from the movie The Princess Bride (which I will probably post about later). Marriage seems to be the ultimate goal for a majority of people, it is supposed to be a wonderful time in a persons life. Planning the wedding, the ceremony, the honey moon, but what gets the ball rolling is the proposal. And that is the film of this post, starring Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock. The Proposal is another one of my all time favorite movies, first of all it has a great cast. It also has a funny story line, Sandra Bullock who is just overall goals, and the love of my life Ryan Reynolds (Blake Lively you are a very lucky woman).

The Proposal is filled with great actors, one of the greats being THE Betty White. While she is a character the two main roles, Bullock and Reynolds, are coworkers at a book publishing company in New York. Well actually Bullock is a successful editor and Reynolds is sort of her "secretary". Bullock decides to propose to Reynolds so she can stay in the country because she was going to deported back to Canada with an expired visa. While this sounds crazy Bullocks character is a take charge woman, always wants to be in control, and cares about her career more than people. Reynolds is a family man, a caring person, and loves his work, ultimately wanting to be an editor.

While deciding to go along with the rouse Reynolds takes Bullock to meet his family in Alaska and while surrounded by the brisk Alaskan air, they begin to fall in love. While falling for each other, the audience starts to learn secrets of the two characters and how it affects their relationship with others. One secret is Reynolds' rocky relationship with his father, which is the first lesson taught, that supporting the people you love is what helps those relationships. Talking to the person, understanding their points of views, and supporting them in their life decisions is crucial in maintaining a healthy functioning relationship.

The other lesson taught is that love comes from all around us, it happens at the most random of times and can just not make sense. The way to deal with that is accept love, accept the love that is right in front of your eyes because love is vital to humans. We need love from friends, family, and a significant other. It is just the way we function and that is perfectly fine. Sure it makes us crazy, like why does my mom always fuss over whatever I do, well because she loves you. Or why do my friends lecture me about eating and not skipping meals, because they love you and want you healthy. Accepting the love that is surrounding you will lead to a happier life and a better outlook of the world.
