We had been together for 5 years, so I took my long-term girlfriend to a beautiful romantic Italian restaurant to celebrate.



All of a sudden, I got out of my chair, and slowly got down on one knee.



"Oh my god" my girlfriend shrieked "Let me just get my phone out so I can video this and show my mum and sister and remember the moment for the rest of my life" she gushed.



"Sure thing" I replied. "But I'm sure they have seen people tie their shoelaces before"
