Watch Gene Simmons' Hilarious Missed Opportunity to Propose to Shannon Tweed (VIDEO)
We've already seen the clip when Gene Simmons finally proposed marriage to the mother of his children, Shannon Tweed, in our exclusive sneak preview of yesterday's season finale of 'Gene Simmons Family Jewels' (Tue., 10PM ET on A&E). But before that, there was a hilarious non-proposal.Gene Simmons asked their tour guide in Belize the best place to propose, and he was advised to do it on top of the main temple. All of that was fine and dandy, until Gene started running up the steep steps like he was in his 20s again.
"I ... am tired," he declared, before stumbling and crawling the rest of the way to the top.
While Shannon talked about how beautiful it was, Gene was still determined to go through with the proposal. "Stay right there," he panted, speaking so softly we could barely hear him. "I want to tell you something."
But when he got down on one knee, Shannon misunderstood completely. "Don't rest because you'll never get up," she said, and then she was gone, encouraging him to head back down as it's much easier and faster.
When the tour guide asked about the lack of ring on Shannon's finger afterward, Gene replied, "Well, she was really tired when she got to the top."
Of course, we know that he finally did get to pop the question. But did she say yes? We still don't know! That blasted "TO BE CONTINUED" was in the way of us finding out!
