[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can understand a spontaneous proposal. My husband asked me to marry him on our second date. He came to our casual date with a rose from his garden. It was lovely. We had a long distance relationship for 2 years before we actually lived together and started planning in earnest.

But a proposal where everything is prepared in advance and the woman is unwittingly led in front of an audience to hear her boyfriend propose? No, I wouldn't like that.[/quote]

I had assumed OP meant the former, which seems like the normal way to propose to me. The other way is too much.

I proposed by surprise but the only preparation I made was to get a ring.[/quote]

Op here. I mean even in private I don't get it. I  don't understand the "surprise" element at all.  I understand to people agreeing to be married. I understand waiting something to mark that - a ring or whatever. What I don't understand is the [b]need[/b] for an element of surprise  teehee he asked me at Christmas, or over dinner, or on the beach or the hinting about types of ring[/quote]

Yeah, there’s a lot of things we do tha We don’t NEED.

BUT To each their own. Some people have a baby and want to be surprised of the sex. Some people find out sex and just  consider having a new baby that you’ve never met before a big enough surprise. Some people like surprise parties. Some people don’t wrap gifts.

I think if you’re getting married to someone, you would know what type of person they are and what they would like. And if you love that person and know that they would appreciate something like this,what a wonderful way to start a life together giving  them the memory of an experience like this. .[/quote]
