I have observed that most marriage proposals involves the guy kneeling and asking the lady to marry him..

Is it a way of pleading or What significance does this got to do with romance?

Could this be normal?

Okay.

Being that romantic by kneeling
when asking a lady to marry you is a borrowed culture. So you just do what you saw others do.

I kneeled when I did mine

I see that u edited ur initial post.. , I was about..shouting

I dont buy that borrowed culture thingy..coz they do it even in the old and native traditions or cultural groups that have not come in contact with the outside worlds.

Lol. No mind me o. I hugged one guy that smelt like d.ope, it probably transfered to me.

Am not aware that people of the old did kneel to ask a girl for marriage o. What I know is that you go to the girls parents and make your intention known.

Yes some do..but it has become a norm that some ladies be like 'he must kneel down O if he is giving me the ring'..that is too extreme.

You can take your both hands down while you raise your two legs

Thats the normal way to propose imo.

You mean if you want to propose to a gal,you wont go on ur knees?

Kneel for who? Woman? Why?

It doesn't make the guy a humble husband nor the chic a faithful woman.

No dearie, that's not what I mean. Far from that. I can even lay flat on the floor if need be. This is my point though; sometimes we attach so much importance to things that are not quite important, leaving behind the most important things.

Now look at it: The important thing here is the end itself, which is the proposal and not the means, which is the kneeling down. Anyhow I do the proposing, it's still valid.

But some girls have this mentality that if you dont knee down,you dnt love them and you dnt mean business.

Nah not compulsory, you can do it even in bed

Why should I go on my knee to beg a girl to wear over a million naira diamond ring I bought with my money just for her to marry me..in a marriage in which both of us are going to be beneficiaries...in fact she is going to benefit more sef. that is crazy Jaré.

It is tradition just like most things humans practice. Its what the act stands for that matters. Thus it is a state of mind.

It is just a symbol; an act of humility, sighn of service and commitment, trust and loyalty.

I think it is an endearing act.

I got one for u then maamin; would u expect the lady to wear the engagement ring then? If so, wots the point in that? And ru going to wear engagement ring too? How come men aarent expected to wear one. Why r wedding gowns white? We could go on.........

On a lighter note;

Ur definitely going down on your knees IF you want me to wear that ring.

Una too dey worry


If you feel kneeling to ask for her hand in marriage is crazy or old fashioned, toss her the ring and ask her to marry you

Very funny my love..some things are just overrated this days kneeling down during proposal, engagement ring, white gowns..an so on. But I dont think is worth it.

On a lighter note

I will propose to you on the moon..will I still need to go on my knees there too?

Says who?
