Creative Marriage Proposal Ideas

A marriage proposal is an event where one person in a relationship asks for the other’s hand in marriage. If accepted, it marks the initiation of engagement, a mutual promise of later marriage. It often has a ritual quality.

In some Western cultures it is traditional for the man to make a proposal to the woman directly while genuflecting in front of her. The ritual often involves the formal asking of the question “Will you marry me, …?” and the presentation of an engagement ring. It may include him putting the ring on her finger.

Although it is uncommon in the West these days, the parents of the couple may make a marriage arrangement, preceding or superseding the proposal. Arranged marriages were common between members of royal families throughout most of European history; such marriage contracts and proposals were made at great distances and often without first-hand contact between the parties prior to the engagement.

In many cultures it is traditional for a man to ask permission from a woman’s father, in private, before proposing to her, or if her father has already died and she is still young, to ask permission of a near relation of hers. In earlier times, parental consent was necessary, if the man wanted to receive a dowry or other money, and fathers could refuse proposals from men whom they considered unsuitable as husbands for their daughters.

The person who is asked may decline a proposal of marriage for any reason or no reason, and is not socially obligated to say what the reasons are. If the recipient accepts the proposal, she will typically assent to the proposer verbally.

    WordPress is software designed for everyone, emphasizing accessibility, performance, security, and ease of use. We believe great software should work with minimum set up, so you can focus on sharing your story, product, or services freely.
