Will You Marry Me? (Day 234 - 7/16/10) 

"So are we engaged now? Is that how that works?" Only Stephen would ask that after a successful proposal.

It's weird how much Stephen and Mal's university situations parallel each other. They both went to college and roomed with someone from starmen. They got married, and now their roommates are going to get married. It's really cool.

Mal's hair was very blonde when she was a kid. As she's grown older it's gotten darker but if she's out in the sun it turns lighter again.

One of the most important videos in the Stephenvlogs experience.

I just proposed to my wife, she said yes!!!! I learned a lot of sleight of hand when I was a kid, so when we held hands while walking back to our apartment, I slipped the ring on her finger. When she sat down I asked her "How was Tom and Jades wedding?" (Friends of ours that got married 5 days ago) she said " It was nice." Then I asked her "We went to their wedding, it should only be fair if they went to ours (I hold up her left hand, and get down on my knee), will you marry me?" This video gave me the courage to ask her thank you so much Stephen.

Wow. You did that so casually, Stephen. Cool!

Holy damn, that was smooth.

I think I got teary-eyed at least a few times that day.

This year is 2022 and this is still the cutest thing on the internet

God. I hate it when ninjas cut onions right behind you

Mal's soft "Stephen...' after he busts out that line has me in tears. Once again, stuff like this hits different when you're actively taking The Journey.

first words after getting engaged- "You are sweaty!" -Stephen Georg 2010

5:00 I love the fact That whatever animal was making that noise just stopped when mal said yes

Stephen: “They have a bunch of metapods and kakunas.” Mal: “They’re called a chrysalis.” Stephen: *Metapod and kakuna* 😂

These are manly tears of joy, MANLY I TELL YOU!

Dude she is sweating to death And then you make her cry Lol

Mal is so cute when she is flustered :D I hope when I propose to my future-wife (who I have not met yet) the moment is as amazing as this.

Watching this to cope with sagan's departure. Definitely helps

You know, I rewatched this video about a dozen times because it's one of my favorites on the vlog (for obvious reasons) but I never clicked the link to Mal's pictures that Stephen put in the description, at least until today. I definitely regret doing this now, for three reasons: 1) Mal is a great photographer-the pictures of the garden are gorgeous. 2) It was really cool to have a look at this beautiful day in pictures knowing that Mal took them, and it's always interesting to see something from her perspective as well as Stephen's. 3) This is the most important reason, as there are two pictures of Stephen with Rocko at the end of this album, and they might be the most adorable things on the internet. Every Stephenite needs to see this.

sorry i skipped to this day.. but....i really wanna watch it ninjas cutting onions..sniff.. "let's meet back tomorrow shall we" back to the journey

you know the most ironic part? Several years Later Alex proposed to Hayley making the circle complete of how similar Mal's and your Friendships with them had already been

I like how as Stephen is proposing he's like "I gotta hold the camera so" xD

It has been six years...

I teared up majorly, she just looked so beyond happy. That was an extremely cute proposal. I'm so happy for you two

D'awwwww~~!!! But why did you make her put it on herself??? You could have put the camera down or had her hold it. Lol. :-P Oh well. Nerves and whatnot - I get it. Still cute to watch, though. Congrats from 5 years in the future!

"is that how this works?"

You know what I love, right after he asks, will you marry me, everything almost gets silent x3

I'm a man and we men don't cry over anything. *watches video* Can someone get me a box of tissues? *sniff* *sniff*

Don't you hate it when Squidward leaves that bowl of onions in front of you?

13 people thought it was so cute that they accidentally hit the thumbs down button.

I love how simple the proposal was! Congrats from 8 years in the future! 👏👏👏

I am on the journey and I leave it kinda auto playing so i didn’t see the title and I too was VERY surprised and this is the cutest thing ever and also HOW are you just going back to your day after this??? How are you not CALLING YOUR FAMILY????

That had to have been the smoothest thing I've ever heard

I need my keyblade to demolish the 12 heartless people (get it?)

I am upset that you didn't have your wedding on a Friday evening, then you could've called the vlog "Friday Night Marriage".

I've watched this so much cause its so dang cute

why the hell would people dislike this

2023 IT STILL THIS IS GREAT

This is a treasure of a video. A special moment for special people.

Stephen used PK Proposal! Mallory could not stop crying! (i am so sorry. i saw an opportunity, and went for it)

This was 12 years ago. Thats wild

Just wanted to smile so rewatched one of the sweetest moments of the vlog! So cool seeing the beginnings..

RU-vid recommended this to me, and I’m glad it did. It’s been so long since I last saw this vlog, and with the recent events, it’s great to see the past, no matter how much it’s changed.

I love these two so much. They're one of my otp's :P

how could anyone dislike this!? >:(

I drove past Brook Green Gardens on a road trip this summer and immediately recognized it from watching the vlog growing up, it felt like driving past a historical monument

;n; So beautiful.... *sniffle*

Was watching this well into the future, and it's still an amazing video. Hits ya hard in the feels. I was increasingly nervous, and I ain't seeing anyone at all now.

ya they have confirmed themselves as my favorite couple

My masculinity points-- no! Decreasing at a hyper negative rate!

This video! Not gonna cry! Not gonna cry! NOT GONNA CRY!

I go back and rewatch this frequently. I love not only the moment, but also how both Stephen and Mal are still, well, Stephen and Mal, even during this moment. "I'm holding the camera, so..." "So are we engaged now?" "I'm sweaty..." "You ARE sweaty." Somehow, them being like this during such a big moment makes it even cuter than if they treated it with 100% seriousness and formality.

that was one of the most awkward but cute proposals i've ever seen. XD

I've watched this like 5 times

Nineteen people are heartless.

This is literally one of my favorite videos and I’ve watched up till current stuff, (perhaps you might do a remaster of this day sometime)

Ugh i hate you guys ! Making me cry and stuff ur too cute 💕 best video and couple ever.

still one of my fave vlog moments

11 people missed the like button

stephen: will you marry me? mal: no everyone on the internet: .........

Proposal videos are a super weak spot of mine. And you guys are so adorable, I couldn't help squeeing a bit. x3

Coming back to rewatch this vlog it’s still pure happiness about how you guys have grown as a community and I can’t thank you enough for all of the laughs and tears of joy your guys consent has brought me thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts internet grandparents I’m 23 black African American I wear glasses and my name is Eric Stephen and Mal 😇😊💛🧡

I smiled through the whole proposal part. Its classic mal and stephen. Slightly awkward but totally cute with a little bit of jokey humor. basically sums up the two of you in a nutshell.

1:15 After Seeing Mallory: HOLY BLOND BATMAN!!

I lost two family members in the span of a week. First my grandma then my little dog Tasha. This was the first video I pulled up because it made me feel so happy when Stephen popped the question. Please keep up the great work and I'll be sure to watch every minute of every vlog you post

I'm actually smiling like a dork as a big fan of Stephen and Mal but my first time watching this and been watching through all the blogs in order.

This hits different having watched the vlog from the beginning. You guys are perfect for each other and I totally teared up this time. ❤ Here's to many happy years together

crying, she be telling you the dang day and date since her own marriage proposal

Stephen proposed over 10 years ago

This is the vlog that changed everything... "So are we engaged now? Is that how that works?" - Classic Stephen right there.

WHY AM I CRYING IN THE CLUB this is so cute omg 10/10 worth taking the journey

You mean the first vlog that Mallory appeared on? I believe it's Day 28.

Because you and so many other youtubers have girlfriends and wives that is what gives my hope that someday i will find my very own Mal

I rewatched this so many times!

I've never seen you smile that brightly ever Stephen. Like that California butthole was saying your lucky man. Mal is the definition of sweetheart. If there was a updated version of merriam for sweetheart it would have Mallory's picture as the example. Congrats you two, please stay together, tall are adorable.

rewatching this in 2024 for the first time since like 2013 and I'm crying like a fool. Y'all have such a beautiful relationship; it's so fun watching this back after all these years. It's so wonderful that you documented it!! much love to y'all

This video was made 10 years ago. Time flies.

@PhantomBowser16 I had a video project that I needed to drop off to the client.

Aww that's so sweet 🥰🥰🥰🥰

"It's probably 100 degrees. It's freakin' hot." I live in Arizona. 100 degrees in the middle of July would be the coolest day of the summer.

How can 26 people dislike this?

Don't you think it's funny that Stephen talked about how him and Alex become friends at college rather quick and it also happened to Mal and Harley and now (spoilers) Alex and Harley also going to marry (spoilers) and he talks about it on the day he propose to Mal. life is really a box of unexpected coincidences sometimes, don't you think? This is an amazing vlog, my dude, many years later and congrats.

it's always marriage that makes me wanna cry a few tears of joy. seeing two people who still know what love truly is just makes me so happy

My RU-vid just suggested I watch this. It's very cute. The look on her face, so happy. You looked really happy at the end as well. I wasn't watching back then, but I'm glad I had a chance to see it now.

"The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return." - Christian, Moulin Rouge

Not terribly often, but usually once every couple months!

@hattorikeishi I did, actually! If you watch Day 148 and jump to the :48 mark, you'll hear me talking about how I asked some important questions. Well, that was me calling both her mother and father and asking permission. They both said yes! That was the first time I ever truly mentioned it on the vlog, but obviously no one knew what was going on at that point :)

they also mention both Alex and Hayley in this video, and talk about how their friendships are so similar. feels like a prediction almost

Didn’t realize the anniversary of the purposal was 2 days Ago

I’ve seen this before but now in 2021 it shows up on my RU-vid feed?! Dang RU-vid

Watched it once, got a little emotional, "I WILL NOT CRY." Watched it twice, cried like a baby. I'm pathetic -_- I know I'm a year late and you're married so it's kind of pointless now, but congratulations !

Literally how could 9 people even dislike this???

I know this is 9 years ago ish, but i go back to this now and then and just smile cause so little good stuff is shown in the world and the faces of you two here are just mind blowing its amazing i love it

I have to say, Stephen, you got some guts. Proposing is NOT something easy, but not only did you do it, but you did it ON CAMERA. You proposed in front of thousands of strangers. Bravo.

Best. Vlog. Day. Ever. Officially one of my otps.

That proposal was so casual. That's what I'll fucking do if I get the chance.

@onewingedangel30 Actually, sort of-we met on Starmen.net, a website devoted to the game. So, yes, actually!

Remember watching this the day it came out

so romantic "sniff" this is so beautiful... wait a minute. WHY ARE THERE 4 DISLIKES!?! CMON, IT"S ROMANCE! WHO HATES ROMANCE!?

Day 8 of the journey. That proposal was surprisingly smooth of past Stephen.
