A marriage proposal is the moment when one person asks their partner to marry them, marking the beginning of a formal commitment to spend the rest of their lives together. Traditionally, the proposal includes a significant question and is accompanied by an engagement ring.
As you can imagine, marriage proposals can vary in complexity, from the most intimate to the most elaborate, but what always matters is the love and sincerity behind the gesture.
2. What to include in a marriage proposal?
When you’re ready to make a marriage proposal, words are essential. Besides the question, it’s important to convey your feelings and what this person means to you. Some ideas to include are:
- Personal memories: Talk about important moments in your relationship.
- Plans for the future: Express your dreams and aspirations as a couple.
- Commitment: Explain what it means to spend the rest of your life with that person.
By being sincere and honest with your words, your proposal will be much more meaningful!

4. Is there a protocol for a marriage proposal?
While there is no strictly formal protocol for a marriage proposal, there are certain conventions and traditions that many couples follow. For example:
- Choosing the engagement ring: Although some couples don’t follow this tradition, the ring is still a common symbol of the proposal.
- Asking: The most important moment is when the question is asked: “Will you marry me?”
- Reaction and acceptance: It’s important that both partners share the same vision for the future before the proposal.
- Gratitude and celebration: After acceptance, it’s common to celebrate with friends and family, though some couples prefer to keep it private.
5. Which hand do engagement and wedding rings go on?
Traditionally, the engagement ring is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, as it is believed that this finger has a vein directly connected to the heart. After the wedding, the wedding ring is placed over the engagement ring, though some people prefer to wear both on the right hand.
6. When is the perfect time to propose?
The perfect moment is when both partners feel ready to take the next step in their relationship. For some, this might be after a special trip, on an important anniversary, or even on a spontaneous day that feels just right.
