WASHINGTON - As far as Molly Ryan knew, she was headed to Coors Field in Denver with her family to see the Rockies take on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Ryan's parents and her boyfriend, Kenny Lovelace, knew this was more than just a family outing. This was the night Lovelace was going to ask Ryan to become his wife.

...

Ryan said "yes" and fans nearby cheered for the couple -- everyone but the older couple, that is.

They continued to look unamused by the event. In fact, unbeknownst to Mullins, another woman who was there with them retrieved a security guard because she couldn't get back to her seat.

Mullins says when the security guard arrived, the big moment was over and she happily moved out of the trio's way.

It wasn't until the next day that Mullins realized the unhappy couple left their mark on the photos.

"In about 20 of them, she and her friend are giving me the stink eye," she says.

Then she saw one photo that she couldn't believe. In it, the older woman appears to be giving the one-finger salute to the camera.

"When I first saw the image I laughed, but then I was terrified you know, wondering what the couple was gonna think," Mullins says.

To Mullins' surprise, the bride-to-be was elated.

"I couldn't stop laughing. I said it was the greatest photo I've ever seen," Ryan says.

She says it was a picture that showed a wide range of emotions.

Some people are just DUMB like that.

Their fear combined with their arrogance assumes that it is THEY who are the focus.

it would never occur to such people to EXAMINE what might be going on adjacent to their exalted location...in any given environment..

hey now this woman is a FAMOUS dumb person....

The public marriage proposals are a bit silly, but that sour faced drab flipping the bird looks like my mother in law.

They told her a proposal was happening behind her, but she wanted to watch the game and the photographer was in the way. Not everybody feels like being caught up in somebody else’s moment. And some folks just like spreading the bah humbug.

I wonder if the old lady even knew what was going on behind her.

Hey - If someone was taking a picture of me (I thought) without asking - they might get the bird too!

lolololol

It's sort of rude to get in somebody's face and take a picture that they're obviously going to be in without their consent.

You gotta expect that they might be rude back.

AMEN and Dont I know that.

Recently I was hoping to make a few photographs of what appeared to be a fairly talented classical guitarist performing in a public park. When I approached his position he flipped me off.

California transplants seem to be all over Colorado, Texas and Arizona. Some parts of these states have become indistinguishable from Southern Californian cities from what I have heard and read. And Virginia and other Southern states are dealing with the same thing with regards to New England transplants.

Nobody should expect privacy because they are out in public.
