Weatherman proposes live on TV

A TV weatherman stunned his presenter girlfriend when he proposed to her live on-air.

Emily Leonard, of Texas based KAMC looked shocked when boyfriend appeared on the screens in her studio, as well she might, he works for another station.

Matt Laubhan then told viewers the normal sports report on the morning show was being replaced by some "breaking news" asking them to "sit back and watch me make a young woman cry, hopefully in a good way.

He then walked over to the desk where Emily was presenting the live show, dropped to one knee and asked her: "I was wanting to know if you might want to marry me, how about it?"

Nice to see Matt is an old fashioned guy and stuck with the tradition of adding 'how about it?' at the end of the proposal.

**Weatherman proposes to girlfriend live on air**

A television weatherman stunned his presenter girlfriend when he made a surprise appearance on her morning news broadcast to propose live on-air.

Texas station KAMC anchor Emily Leonard's jaw dropped when she introduced a sports bulletin only to see her boyfriend, Matt Laubhan, a meteorologist for rival station KLBK, sitting behind the sports desk.

Mr Laubhan told viewers the normal sports report was taking a "sabbatical" for "some breaking news". He referred to Miss Leonard as "not only the sweet, quirky, crazy girl that you watch every morning on this channel" but "the love of my life".

He then invited them to "sit back and watch me make a young woman cry, hopefully in a good way."

As a shocked Miss Leonard grinned and covered her mouth with her hand, he walked over to the desk where she was sitting, commenting that she "must be wearing waterproof mascara" because she wasn't crying. Then he dropped to one knee and asked: "I was wanting to know if you might want to marry me, how about it?"

Miss Leonard, who confessed "I'm shaking", then cried out "yes" numerous times before her new fiance slipped the ring on to her finger. She also paused to shout "you all knew!" to her colleagues before wiping away some tears and hugging Mr Leonard.

"So you had no clue?" he asked.

"No," she said, adding, "I think I got lipstick on you."

"I don't think it matters," her fiance replied.

As men, we all know how hard it is to think of a way to propose to a woman. Today, I was just browsing over at Yahoo and YouTube when I found this featured video. Its interesting how this weatherman came up with the brilliant idea of broadcasting his proposal LIVE on TV!

Cool huh? Good thing the TV stations production staff are his friends. How about you? How would you do your marriage proposal?

Lots of people in my life have been getting engaged lately and every time I hear about it, I always think about how the guy might have pulled it off. I dont always hear about romantic and creative proposals anymore so when I saw this video of a CBS weatherman, Matt Laubhan, proposing to his ABC-affiliate girlfriend, Emily Leonard, it made me smile.

Matt basically convinced the ABC-affiliate channel to spare some air time for him to propose on-air in a total and complete surprise to Emily. The reaction that Emily has as she first recognizes Matts face in her studio is priceless. Man, I hope my proposal can be just as shocking.
