Asking your spouse to marry you is such a romantic moment. While there are a lot of ways to propose, public proposals are one of the most common. It's a way of showing the world how lucky you are to have them in your life. However, in recent times, there have been several viral videos of public proposals online with a lot of them ending on a bad note.
In this article, we will be explaining to you, things you should consider before making a public proposal which will help you both avoid public embarrassment.
- Discuss Your Marriage
Before going ahead with the public proposal, ensure you both have discussed marriage ahead of time. This will help you understand your partner better.
Coming up with a public proposal to surprise your spouse even when you feel the relationship is perfect may be a bad idea because you may be shocked at the outcome. Therefore, you should have a sincere conversation with them on their views about marriage and proposals before continuing. Thus, helping you make the best decision possible.
- Make Sure Your Spouse Loves Surprises
You should consider the personality of your spouse before going ahead with the public proposal. Make sure the person loves surprises. Choosing to propose to a partner who loves privacy in a public place will get her embarrassed.
- Have Similar Marriage Interests
To avoid public rejection from your spouse, make sure you are both on the same page. During your conversation about marriage, be sure to have a solid conclusion about where your interests lie on proposals and honeymoons.
Be sure your partner is ready to commit to marriage. While signs may sometimes help, it can be quite misleading. So, it's best to ask whether they are certain about getting married. Having this discussion will help you know what their deeper thoughts are. If they aren't ready for marriage commitments, this will be the time to know.
Additionally, if you're both interested in making your relationship work, talks such as these will help you consciously work on making it happen.
- Are You Confident Enough To Pull A Public Proposal?
Public proposals are usually not as great in real life as you have imagined it. You need to be confident and own the show. Your shyness may end up passing the wrong message to the person you're proposing to.
So, before you go ahead to propose in public, practice your lines, facial expressions, and even your movements. Try not to get distracted by external factors; the most romantic proposals happen when your attention is directed only to your sweetheart.
