Someone asked, “Why not? Just remember, the real world is not Hollywood. So the discussion of marriage should have already been discussed before the actual proposal.” Another shared, “Happened to me. No complaints. It was 20 years ago. My now-wife said I want to marry you. I said, ok. That’s it.”
“I proposed to my boyfriend at the time. I don’t know if we’d talked about getting married before, and it just didn’t happen. He was finishing school, and I was working a lot. He had just finished his second to last semester, and we were relaxing at home. So I was like, ‘Hey, why don’t we just get married? Like soon?’ He was like, oh yeah.”
“I did,” shared one. “My fiancé posted his ring like the typical engagement pictures women take and post and was thrilled. Also, I got to pick out my ring after, so it was a win-win.”
Someone volunteered, “I think that anyone should be able to propose. It’s a sweet moment, and nothing should stop it.” A second responded, “Sure, anybody should be able to, but nobody ever should in the traditional sense.”
