proposals

wedding: a marriage ceremony

but weddings are so much more than just that. a wedding can become the event of a decade (think kim kardashian or kate middleton). from the cake to the dress, the flowers to the flowergirl, this blog will weave inside and out of the anatomy of a wedding. let's begin with the very start: the proposal.

it began with the classic surprise genuflection and diamond ring, but since then, the idea of the proposal has bloomed into huge events. one thing that usually stays the same, however, is the engagement ring. men are usually the ones to initiate a proposal (a man asks a woman).

men are getting more and more creative with their way of proposals. i've seen videos of flashmob proposals, and surprise proposals in front of tons of people.
