In the world of bad news, it's nice to see a fun story like this every once in a while.
Not everyone gets it, though. Some of the news professionals who make their living hawking "hard news" had some very unkinds words about the "love-sick morons who interrupt news programming" with this kind of nonsense.
One piece of nonsense that was broadcast in the KARK on-air proposal but didn't make Jeanne Moos' CNN clip was this declaration the husband-to-be made to his future wife:
"You've taught me something: that love is about building each other up... That's something that I want to do for the rest of my life."
In an age of easy divorce and shallow commitment, we'd have to say that's newsworthy! Even more so if they're still doing it 25 years from now.
