Ryan Reynolds’s SMS Proposal
Ryan Reynolds may be handsome and hunky, but that did not stop the actor from getting nervous when he proposed to his wife, Scarlett Johansson. Apparently, ScarJo’s tongue-tying effect also affected him, so much so that he proposed via a text message.
It looks like he struggled with the words so much that he didn’t think that his speech would work for him if he did a personal face-to-face proposal, so he took the safer way out. Personally, I don’t think that this is a romantic proposal, but hey, it worked! They got hitched, didn’t they?
In one rare moment of divulgence, Ryan spoke about his proposal with ET’s Mary Hart, which he says is kind of a “blur.” Wow, the guy proposed to one of the hottest young actresses in Hollywood, and it somehow seemed to be a blurry experience.
Anyway, Ryan had one very good advice when making a proposal, “Never ask a question unless you’re absolutely sure of the answer,” which he says is the concept behind his proposal to Scarlett. And apparently, he got this from trial lawyers. Go figure!
“It is the best evasive tactic I could come up with on short notice.” he joked, clarifying his statement.
But what was the thing that he struggled most in his proposal? “The hardest part was to compress all of that love, all of that joy into just one text message. And then it was just hitting send.” And after he hit that button, I’m willing to stake money that he spent a few nervous moments before she answered.
Well, lucky for him, Scarlett loved him so much and was willing to be his wife, even if the proposal is one of the most unromantic ones I’ve ever heard of. Not that I heard about a lot. But still, the proposal is not what matters: it’s their married life that should be one romantic, happy, and memorable experience. Go ScarJo and Ryan!
