It was a stunt, and then he proposed:

"Honey, you make me hot," he told his sweetheart, Malissa Kusiek. "I hope I'm getting the point across that I'm on fire for you."


Tacky and lame. She's probably getting the point that this guy is goofy.

My lab partner, Dougie, used to set his hand on fire every Tuesday in 7th grade lab.

To prove his love

Proved he was an idiot, too.

"Of course I said yes. I was so thrilled[,]" [the prospective bride said.]

I think this is going to be a marriage of two very sick people.

Bruce Springsteen - I'M ON FIRE Lyrics
Hey little girl is your daddy home 
Did he go away and leave you all alone 
I got a bad desire 
I'm on fire 

Tell me now baby is he good to you 
Can he do to you the things that I do 
I can take you higher 
I'm on fire 

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife baby 
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley 
through the middle of my soul 

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet 
and a freight train running through the middle of my head 
Only you can cool my desire 
I'm on fire

LOL BTW, your future MIL has decided our song is going to be At Last instead of Elton John.
