I prefer low key or private. But if at all you want to do it in public, make sure the girl is ready to settle down with you.
You can ask her jokingly when you guys are gisting. Make she no go embarrass you for public o

Private proposal, wedding with a small circle. Use your money for quick growth of the new family. It is time to be wise.

Private proposal anytime, anyday... I hate being the centre of attention... I might turn down the proposal in public.

This is not a normal thing to say at all

The white men brought religion, u guys hurriedly embraced it, they brought technology, u guys embraced it, they introduced church/white/court wedding and u guys loved it and followed suit... How come the kneeling down to propose that the whites also introduced to us is now a problem?

I'm not saying I'd love to kneel down to propose o, but if I do, I will not feel less of a man though..

Some open while some inside the house. Tinubu has made it difficult for everyone.
Re: Do You Prefer Marriage Engagement/Proposal Done in the Open? by 0Brien: 10:18am On Aug 31
Not at all

It turns the whole thing into a public performance and show and destroys the intimacy of the moment
Re: Do You Prefer Marriage Engagement/Proposal Done in the Open? by tuoyoojo(m): 10:19am On Aug 31
I believe marriage proposal is a private thing

When you were "toasting" the girl, did u do it publicly?

Private proposal also give u some layer of protection against the issue that comes with falling hand in case the babe nor gree

But then if u and the girl never talk go marriage or una communication nor involve you guys sharing a future together, then why propose In the first place

Most of these marriages for show (public) don't last.

My twin bro marriage is currently being threatened. During his proposal to his girlfriend, he drove kilometres to his then girlfriend work of place, knelt down in public, proposed with the expensive ring he bought from Jumia, took a picture of the proposal and framed it.

If you go to his living room you'd see the picture there.

He took maternity picture with his pregnant wife, he framed it. Go to his Facebook page, it is filled with his family images.

Now he hasn't had canal knowledge of his wife for more than three months counting.

These are young couples.

Do not be deceived about how lovey dovey most couples appear in public. If you know the war going on when they are behind the scene you'd thank God for your marriage that you felt is doing badly. undecided

Re: Do You Prefer Marriage Engagement/Proposal Done in the Open? by TONYE001(m): 10:20am On Aug 31
I don't even understand all these things.

Honestly.

If we are in a relationship already, and we are both working towards getting married, why do I need to formally propose to you?

All this one na drama.

12 years ago when I got married, I didn't need to do all this drama. Wifie and I were university classmates. In one phone call, we both agreed that there was no need to postpone our marriage. Just like that, she asked me to go discuss with my people while she discussed with hers.

Then introduction.
Then marriage - traditional and white wedding on the same day. Instead of a wedding reception, we did traditional after church.

Case closed.

12 years after, we are still happily married with 4 great kids.

I prefer the parlor style, sit on the chair, sit on the floor, eat, drink, smile and communicate that's all, parlor style nothing more, nothing less grin cheesy

That person was never for you.

God rid you of a shallow-minded person.

What if she's still recovering from the birth of their child, suffering from postpartum depression, or his bedmatics skills aren't top notch?

They need therapy/counselling. If she’s still a nursing mother, she could be having postpartum depression.

She was right in breaking up with you because you are not a serious person.
