Had a few questions and I'd love to get your opinions on them. I plan on writing a blog post on this subject but I was curious to get others take on this.
It's a beautiful thing when your man surprises you with a ring and a proposal. He painstakingly selects a ring for you (or even asks for you to select it yourself). He purchases the ring on his own time and goes through the anxiety filled task of constructing the perfect mood to pop the big question- but what if that doesn't happen?
Say you and your man have been together for years, and it is more of a declaration of love, wrapped within a meaningful conversation. If you get to the point of discussing marriage and agree upon it my first question is: Would you feel a bit upset that, even though you're marrying the love of your life, you didn't get an "official" proposal?
Next up is, what if you're going through hard times- say your man is inbetween work when this conversation occurs. Say you can get past not having an actual proposal if you could just have an engagement ring- but he doesn't have the funds. Could you see yourself giving him the money to purchase the ring for you, as long as, you didn't know when, and allowed him to have full control over selecting the ring and presenting it to you?
My last question is- If you were to get this engagement ring after putting your own money into it (but his thoughtfulness on selecting the ring for you) would you expect a "formal" proposal (or at the very least, him pouring out his soul as he presented the ring to you?)
I'm asking because there was an article on The Shine asking if women would accept a proposal without a ring. There were alot of interesting answers, so I decided to put a slight spin on the question to see what you would do in such a situation. So I guess THAT is the last question lol, WOULD YOU ACCEPT A PROPOSAL WITHOUT A RING?
