A marriage proposal, which is the start of a lifetime commitment, is one of the most important events in a couple’s journey. It is a story that will be passed down through the decades to friends, family, and even future generations.
I say this with so much excitement, I love proposal stories very much. It brings me so much joy and provides me with a sense of hope that fairy tales do exist, I know this is wishful thinking and that reality will always kick in at the end but I like to think that it is okay to dream a little bit.
The effort that goes into arranging this occasion makes your partner feel genuinely valued, whether it is in a private, peaceful setting which is what I prefer or a grand public display. Careful attention to detail, such as including their favourite song, picking a special spot, or even including loved ones, demonstrates your understanding and gratitude towards your person.
