(Pic not related, but awesome.)

Here’s a pair of engagement announcements for two guys who you might have forgotten about were it not for the incredibly slow news weekend.

Backstreet Boy AJ McClean celebrated his 32nd birthday on Friday (doesn’t that make you feel old) by proposing to his girlfriend onstage during a solo show.

McLean “surprised his girlfriend Rochelle in [club] Wasted Space after running to Rocks the Jeweler inside the Hard Rock Hotel, and buying a beautiful diamond ring,” the source says. “He ran back to Wasted Space for the strike of midnight, and the change of date to Jan 9—his birthday!”

How….. Romantic??? I’m not sure that a complete lack of planning and a last minute proposal on his birthday is my idea of romance, but hey– she’s dating AJ McClean– so maybe being an afterthought is right up her alley.

Next, remember the guy who lost all that weight by eating subway sammys every day? Jared Fogle recently announced that he proposed to his girlfriend, a schoolteacher named Katie, back in November. The two plan to get married in the summer, and I’ll give you two guesses as to who will be catering the wedding.

Let’s just hope he can get that weird Subway bread smell out of his skin before the honeymoon.

      Oh my god! Awesome wedding cake. But it’s not entirely accurate, because in the game you have to roll up a lot of smaller objects before you could ever roll-up a bride and groom. Great cake.

    OMG! Is that Katamari??? I’ve never head of that wedding!

    And, I’ve always though Subway smells like feet.

    You know, there totally is a really weird gross smell in Subway – the bread, ostensibly. There used to be a baby boutique next to a Subway in a plaza near me and every time I shopped there and/or bought something there, the smell was disgusting. It would stay on the clothes till I got them washed. That shit is tenacious, working there must be a treat.
