There are several events that mark the end of the beginning of the movie, "The Proposal." A key event is the approaching expiration of Margaret's Visa, which would lead to an immediate deportation back to Canada. Margaret thought the scheduled meeting was to discuss about her second promotion raise and is dumbfounded to be informed of the deportation plan back to Canada due to her expired Visa. As the meeting progresses, Andrew pops in the office to fetch Margaret for an interview that was awaiting her in an adjacent office. On the sight of Andrew, Margaret gets an idea of using him to remain legally in New York at least until her Visa issue is resolved. She calls Andrew and announces to her boss that they were indeed getting married (Pete 15). She enquires from her boss if getting married was not an adequate reason for her to stay alongside her future husband since soon they would be a married couple. Although Andrew is shocked by the unexpected happenings, he is in someway persuaded by the assurances made by Margaret. When the two return to their office, Andrew informs Margaret of his decision not to marry her and Margaret blackmails him with his job.

The Other event is the meeting with Andrew's family in Alaska. Margaret is informed that her reservation at the local hotel had been cancelled as she was expected to stay with Andrew's family. Typical for engaged couples, Margaret and Andrew are given a room to share and this is quite uncomfortable for Margaret. Andrew opts to sleep on the floor while Margaret sleeps on the Bed. Andrew's grandmother decides to give them a surprise at breakfast and while knocking at their Room, Andrew rushes to join Margaret on the bed to pretend they slept together. Margaret likes Andrew's family and realizes that she had missed a lot on family time since her mother passed on when was only sixteen years. She finds out that Andrews's family was rich and Andrew had problems with his family after eavesdropping on his conversation with his father. At night, she enquires from Andrew why he was arguing
