Asking someone to get married to you or agreeing to someone, is may be one of the biggest steps anyone can take. This is a decision, which you take, in all awareness, that you will live your life with this one person, build a family with them, until death do you apart. You bet, this is BIG STEP!
As women, we all dream of a knight and shiny armor, will come in the woods and whisk us away. Some of us grow up, some of us still wish we will get that and some of us are actually lucky enough to get it.
Planning a proposal is not an easy task. To all the men, thank you, for going through the pains of making your special lady feel so special. I wonder, what goes on in your head, when you are planning one. Are you wondering, hope she likes it, or what if she says no. Are you anxious or just taking these steps to make her happy?
I planned a proposal with a friend for his girlfriend. I was responsible to getting the size of the ring, help him choose one (as he wanted it to be a surprise) and then work with him on the details of when, how and where to pop the box open and let the glistening diamond show. For me it was fun, for him,it was nerve racking.
One friend of mine, surprised his girlfriend, by taking her in the middle of the lake in Versailles, and asking her to marry her there.
Women who are dating and in a committed relationships, are in a constant pendulum stage, till the time the question is not asked. They are constantly being nagged by the question..."when will he ask me to marry him?". The rules of the game say, they( as women) should not ask and wait to be asked. So, they start by throwing hints. .."hey, my mom was saying that I should get married now.... or ....I can move in with you, only if we get married....you know what, see how Rahul proposed to his girlfriend....."
Yes, women are smart, they will start using the word marriage, ring, et al in the casual conversations. They might also see a movie and generally say, how cute, I would love to be proposed that ways.
Around this time, the girl is already in the malls, will stop in front of a jewellery store, admiring rings. This is the time, when every girl will know the language of diamonds- cut, clarity and carat. Men, beware, you are talking to some highly educated ladies here! This is also the time, when each evening, she is going out on dinner with him, she is anticipating, that he will ask her today. Each evening, that this does not happen, she comes back, unhappy, even if she had the most wonderful time.
But, guess, what, whenever the question is popped, it always is a memorable story. A story, that will stay with the girl for a long time. A story that she will smile and tell when asked.More than the wedding, the anticipation and proposal, as the easiest, and the most romantic moment in a shaadi. And for us bye standers, this is often a story, when we hear, we say... awww.... oooohh...aaa... !
