Vandal Uses Random Garage Door to Propose (Isn't it Romantic)
NBC2 ^ | May 05, 2011 | Meaghan Smith

A Lehigh Acres couple was shocked to find out someone had vandalized their garage by spray painting a proposal on it.

The door belonged to Roger and Carolyn Mooyoung. The New York couple, who vacation in Southwest Florida, has been married for 23 years.

As you might imagine, they weren't to happy when they got a letter from Lee County Code Enforcement letting them know that their vacation home had been vandalized.

"I feel sorry for them because if they get married, they're going to have problems," said Carolyn Mooyoung. "I mean, that's pretty immature."

The Mooyoungs told deputies that between 12 a.m. on March 15 and 9 a.m. on April 14, someone spray painted the words "Will you marry me Allison! Yes" in green on his garage door.

"They write in graffiti, ‘Will you marry me?' And then there's a response, ‘Yes.' I mean, she had to be right there and be like, ‘OK, your turn - write your response,'" Carolyn said.

But from the looks of it, Allison said yes to the very bizarre, very illegal marriage proposal.

And because the lovebird also drove his car into the couple's garage door and dented it, they had to replace it at a cost of $1,100.

While neighbors have been driving by, congratulating the Mooyoungs, Roger's proposal was decades ago.

We asked Carolyn if she has anything to say to the happy couple and she replied, "Don't get married."

Yo Ho, Be my B&^%$??

Perhaps - knowing that they dented the garage door and were going to have to replace it -they decided to have some fun with it first.

In which case - assuming they pay for it as promised - and left everything else in good repair - I think it was silly fun and romantic - and didn't hurt anyone but the stickupthebut owners who apparently are mad that neighbors are congratulating them on their (supposedly) impending nuptials.

You know, all of this is getting out of hand. Guys asking girls to the prom with a backup band or a powerpoint presentation in front of the whole school. Way too much. My wife didn’t have to involve the whole world when she proposed to me.

Drunk stupid thug love.

He did it to get that single night of sex, and she fell for it.

Now he’s long gone, and she’s knocked up and applying for every benefit she can think of.

“Assuming they pay for it as promised”? Did you read the article/see the video? They don’t even know who vandalized the garage door. So, I don’t think it’s appropriate to call them stickupthebutt owners when they’re on the hook for $1100 in damage somebody else caused. I doubt you’d have the same attitude if you had to shell out $1100 for damage to your property that somebody else caused.

Good penmanship and spelling.

Last summer a homeless man wrote a love note on my dumpsters, to a homeless woman who frequently collects cans and bottles on our street.

No kidding. We've had a rash of graffiti tagging in our area and it's not cute or amusing when you have to constantly spend money to clean up the same crap over and over or resign yourself to having to look at that ugliness.

One advantage to living in Detroit — About half the people there cannot read or write, so there are fewer spraypainted marriage proposals.

“And because the lovebird also drove his car into the couple's garage door and dented it, they had to replace it at a cost of $1,100.”

My mistake - I thought the aforementioned “lovebirds” had to replace the garage door - I also assumed that the homeowners had rented out the “vacation home” to them - and that the vandalism was associated with how they left the property (damaged door - with spray paint on it).

Mia culpa.

And less than a quarter of them are married.

My wife is the best person I’ve ever met. She is truly my soulmate. And, if you stand sideways, she can shoot the buttons off your shirt at 100 yards and all you’d feel is the breeze from the bullets. I may be stupid, but I’m not crazy.

A tiny step ahead from proposing with crayons. I hope they won’t ruin their chances to graduate from kindergarden with such a hasty decision.

No class. If the graffiti had been up to the standards of Banksy (the British graffiti “artist” who actually qualifies to have the scorn quote removed — buildings he tags have their market value go up!!!) I’d have given the vandal a pass, but no. . .

I picture at least one of them ending up in jail before they can steal enough money for a proper wedding.
Wot a coupla dirtbags!

I also predict him being in jail several times, while the drug-addled Allison feds the baby crackers from a second story apartment while Mexican tuba music and Rap/Pig Slaughter fusion “music” blasts 24 hours a day. Eventually Allison will get a job at the “Pup ‘n Bull” for minimum wage and take in a more drug-addled border to help pay the rent until the groom returns from jail.

I gotta wear shades!”
