“I now pronounce you Mr. & Mrs. Bacon.” That may be what Allison and Chuck hear when they stand in front of family and friends at their upcoming wedding. Why you ask? Because Chuck proposed to Allison in the best way imaginable. He proposed with bacon!
We could attempt to wax poetic about the bacon marriage proposal, but we think Chuck says it best in his own words…
“Allison loves bacon. I cook it for her all time she wants to celebrate, needs cheering up, or just at random times to make her happy. A couple Fridays ago I got off work early and sneaked over to her apartment to set up. I had the roses, champagne, the ring, and of course, the bacon. Wright’s Applewood Bacon to be precise.
I cooked up 4 pieces of bacon strategically so that they formed the shape of a heart. Burned my fingers up quite a bit. She had given me that tiny toy box you see in the photos that says I love you in it about a year ago when she first told me she loved me. I always kept it. I placed the ring inside it and then placed the box in the center of the bacon heart on the plate. I strategically placed the plate in front of the roses so she would see it when she walked in while I played some of our favorite songs in the background.
She finally walked in after what seemed like hours and was definitely surprised to see me. I go “hey honey, want some bacon?” She instantly knew what was going on and frantically said “yeah, let me put my bags down”. When she turned around I was on my knee with just the box. I asked her if she remembered the box, then I spoke about our relationship and what she meant me and finished by popping the question. She said yes and after only a few minutes of hugging and celebrating she says. “ok, can we eat the bacon now???”.
Needless to say, she said it was the best bacon she ever had. I told her good cause I used it to make the rest of the dinner, bacon wrapped filet with a creamy butter sauce, garlic mashed potatoes and sweet peas. Her eyes went wide with excitement over the prospect of more bacon and we proceeded to prepare and enjoy an excellent 1st dinner together as an engaged couple.”
A marriage proposal centered around bacon is a beautiful thing. Let’s just hope they hold a bacon-themed wedding to really keep the bacon love alive.

Wow, nothing says “I love you” like slaughtering an animal and displaying it’s fried flesh in a heart! Next time see if you can find some orphaned children to skin and deep fry, I’m sure they TASTE amazing!

Anthony could ruin a trip to Disney World.
Congratulations to the happy couple. The lovely Mrs. Vargas likes her bacon (and I flat out cannot get enough) but I never thought to propose that way. Kuds to CHuck for being creative and loving bacon!

Does she have a sister?

lame…especially for a guy who uses props in pictures.

I don’t know who is worse Chuck or the awful vegetarian Anthony.

Bacon… yumm.
I’ve got one for you bunny huggers… The only way to make bacon better? Raise the piggy from a wee piglet, and then butcher him yourself. I’d put my bacon against anyones.

“Wow, nothing says “I love you” like slaughtering an animal and displaying it’s fried flesh in a heart! Next time see if you can find some orphaned children to skin and deep fry, I’m sure they TASTE amazing!”
Nothing says “tolerance” like pushing your views on others on some website while engaging in the equivalent of tearing the womb out of an animal and eating it raw as vegetarians do with most fruits/vegetables. How about the practice of “sprouting” seeds…eating a month old fetus. Tearing off a limb and eating it in front of the helpless plant only to return in a few weeks and do it again.
Don’t like bacon, stick to sites devoted to your sadistic lifestyle! If you’ve decided to leave the defenseless plants alone I have something you can eat Anthony.
While I can’t say proposing with bacon would have come to mind if it has a happy ending more power to ‘em!

P.S. I think poster “Tom” above is perhaps mentlly ill. Poor thing.
Orphan Bacon…mmmm…
September 27th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Nope Gail. Just just tired of self righteous twits like Anthony and comparing what they do to the equivalent in the animal world to knock them down a bit.

Bacon makes EVERYTHING better. Orphans, Scallops, bananas, PB sandwiches, lettuce…EVERYTHING! Eat a bacon-wrapped orphan in honor of Anthony.

WHOA GUYS!! Anthony never said he was a vegitarian.. he just hates bacon. in which case we should eat him, as he’s hating on orphans because they picked on him in the orphan house. he just got adopted so he doesn’t have to worry about those days anymore and he’s trying to get revenge. so let’s all wrap Mr. Anthony in some bacon, deep fry him, and eat the delicous outcome! DIBS ON HIS MAN BOOBS! they’re probably really meaty.. don’t want to miss out on that

Ya know. I was raised in an orphanage. Nao that you mention it, I do remember a kid named Anthony.
I force fed him bacon until he got sick.
Some days the food was scarce and we had to fend for ourselves. We always got rid of the ugly ones first; the ones who had freckles, or the tiny ones who would never amount to anything. I mean, you had to eat somehow.
I wonder how little Anthony’s doing.
February 16th, 2010 at 6:51 pm
@Anthony the fack why dont we just eat your flesh
