Does Link propose to Amber in Hairspray?

Link Larkin does not propose to Amber Von Tussle in the musical Hairspray.

He does, however, ask her to marry him, but it's a very brief and ultimately unsuccessful proposal. It happens in the scene where they're arguing about his feelings for Tracy Turnblad.

Link's proposal is more of a desperate attempt to get Amber to stay with him and keep up appearances, rather than a sincere expression of love. He quickly realizes that Amber is not the girl for him and ends the relationship.
