Man Asks for Unicorn in Hotel Room for Marriage Proposal
Emirates 24/7 ^ | Thursday, November 17, 2016

Hotel chain Travelodge have revealed a bizarre request they got from a customer to have a unicorn in their room to set the mood for their marriage proposal.

This is just one of many strange asks they get daily at their 523 branches across the UK.

Travelodge spokeswoman Shakila Ahmed told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "With over 18 million customers staying annually across our 523 UK Travelodge hotels, our hotel teams receive thousands of unusual requests from business and leisure travellers.

Where possible, the hotels teams go above and beyond to help customers however, there are some requests that they cannot help with.

"For example finding a unicorn to help one romantic with his wedding proposal, ensuring there is a blue sky on the day of an important strategy meeting for an executive and moving a Travelodge room to the roof of the hotel so that the customer could sleep under the stars."

“Sir, I could provide a genuine unicorn. But you couldn’t afford it.”

According to Urban Dictionary a unicorn is a hot, bisexual babe.

That would put a totally different spin on this article.

The unicorn was unavailable as it was currently engaged in the Yeti/Sasquatch/Liebowitz family reunion.

He probably had to settle for a rhinoceros.

Chuck Norris coined the phrase, “I could eat a Horse” after he ate every last unicorn in existence.

Every democrat voter who reads this will say “That’s cool! I’m going to request an elf bring me some cookies the next time I stay in a hotel. And we’ll go find a pot of gold”

I guess that's one way to check to see if his bride-to-be is a virgin ...

Do you mean that you didn't know that a unicorn won't tolerate the touch of a non-virgin?

Even if you get the unicorn, it won’t undo the fact that you proposed to her in a freaking TraveLodge.
