Q & A: “Will you marry me?”
ABC's Q & A has had many questions from its audience, but never one like this.

It was Valentine’s Day after all and even Q & A host Tony Jones couldn’t resist the charm of a studio proposal by one of the audience members.
After wrapping the panel discussion last night, Jones introduced a question which had been asked during rehearsal from Michael Brody to Samantha Ireland.
Michael: “My question’s not actually going to the panel tonight, it’s going to this beautiful girl next to me.”
With that he got down on bended knee.
“I just want to say, Sam, I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?”
Michael then produced a ring to which the blushing Sam said “Yes.”
Awwwwww…..
You can see the moment at the very end of the show on iView (and you can easily skip right to the end at 55:50).

Before she got a chance to answer Tony should have piped in with “I’ll take that as a comment”. That Would have been funny!
Oh look at the cynical people, go back under your rock. it was brilliant and who cares if it was corny, it was Valentines Day, biggest corniest day of the year. 😀 Congrats to them. Tony should marry them.
Regardless of the above it was an excellent show last night with good guests and good topics. And I know twiiter helped cause a revolution in Egypt, but that doesn’t mean we have to have it foisted on us during Q & A. If they feel they must use it why not give us e twitter free feed on ABC 24 so that we have a choice.
Yeah, I think these public marriage proposals are a bit doubtful. There was one on Deal or No Deal just recently (perhaps it was a repeat) – anyway, I’m not certain the girl was genuinely saying “yes”, just that she didn’t feel she could say “no”.
All the questions they ask on this show seem rushed and somewhat corny. Sorry, but this one was no exception.
Next year it would be great if a gay couple could do it legally after a change to the Marriage Act.
I agree with Dick. Proposing on live television or in front of a large crowd shows desperation rather than romance.
Wow, how…….romantic. She will look back on that moment fondly. Talk about coercion – is she really going to turn him down in front of the whole nation?
A least they have a video of the proposal now!!!
