Does anyone know if the girl said yes to the marriage proposal during the White Stripes show? I would assume she said yes....that is a great way to propose.
I was secretly hoping it was my bf...but it wasn't.

We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
I was sitting next to my GF in the VIP bleachers. We've been dating 2+ years and I hear jack say that and feel her grip on my arm tighten and an immediate "oh crap" flashed through my head. Nothing quite as romantic as having to go "Not us babe" right after that.

no, not really. there was still plenty of the stripes set to go.
heh we've been together for 7 years so you'd think that if there was any perfect opportunity in that time, this bonnaroo was it. eh well, after 7 years you don't take it so seriously anymore.
I know i looked around for a crowd reaction, and didn't see anything obvious, so I do wonder what came of that. ???

Jack White stopped in the middle of the set, said someone passed him a note, that they wanted to propose to their girlfriend during his set, and he acknowledged it on stage and said "you know who you are" and basically good luck with that.
it gave me goosebumps just because it was unbelieveably cool for jack to acknowledge it and stop the set for a few seconds to do so.

I got on my knee in front of my GF and everyone around me started cheering, then I stood up and said, "sorry i thought my shoe was untied." Everyone laughed including my GF thankfully...

oo i remember that. i was thinking... i wonder how many guys decided to propose even though it wasn't them jack was talking about. . . & just passing it off like it was
i'm going where the sun keeps shining, thru' the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes. backing off of the north east wind, sailing on summer breeze, and skipping over the ocean like a stone.
I turned to my wife and said, "Dear, will you... oh crap... wait... we already did that, didn't we?" She laughed and smacked me on the arm.
After the set she said that the song they played right after the proposal announcement was about loving someone so much you have to leave them because you dont want it to ever turn sour so you are breaking up. I didn't notice but thought it pretty damn funny if they played that right then.

yeh, that was a really cool moment. A Martyr For My Love to You afterwards may have been my favorite White Stripes song during their set.
Yeah, I got down on one knee and tried to put the djembe i just bought from Centeroo on my wife's finger...
We did laugh our asses off, though, at all the awkward moments that must have caused for so many couples. We definitely appreciated it, though. The way I proposed to my wife was a total "Holy Shit!" surprise kind of method, but not nearly as cool as having Jack White do it for me.

It's true, the following song really is a display of Jack White's sarcasm/sense of humor I think. I turned to my friend (of the same gender) and asked him to marry me joking around (but in a very serious tone) and a woman next to me said to her husband/boyfriend/whatever "wow, gay men really are more romantic than straight men... how nice for them"
It was at that point where I couldn't keep a straight face anymore and cracked a chuckle.
I was holding my fiancee in my arms so she could see because she is 5'1" when Jack made the announcement. It took me a moment to realize everyone around me was staring and smiling. Someone asked, "Is it you?" We both just laughed.
My guess is she must have said no, if we didn't hear a scream or applause after a few seconds, because really if you can hear an asshat screaming BONNAROOOO! at the top of their lungs from a mile away, we should have been able to hear something . That or they both passed out from heat stroke seconds before and never heard Jack mention the note.
I told my boyfriend that something along the lines of that would be a bad-ass proposal (I know he's been pondering ideas so..)
What about the couple that got married at roo? Were they the same people who mentioned on here? We were at their ceremony and got to sign the guest book. There is also a great clip of it and other great roo clips on Current TV
I was at the Roo wedding also - I didn't get to sign the guest book but was this close to catching the bouquet! Congrats to them! It was such a sweet ceremony!
