Did you just say “Yes” to your bae for your lifetime? And you must be on cloud nine and is super excited to share your feelings with your soon-to-be-partner? But hold on, there are a few things that are better to keep to yourself.
Below are a few phrases that you should avoid:
Finally! It took you long enough.
No matter how long have both of you have been together. It’s important to appreciate each other at this moment. Don’t bring guilt on that timing stuff. Think in this way; your partner also needs to understand that he/she is ready to commit to you fully. After that phase, your partner needs to think about how, when, and where he/she wants to propose. Everyone has their own pace doing things, so this is not a thing to blame on them.
You didn’t record this?
We understand you want to share this moment with your friends and followers. But, if he/she didn’t hire a photographer or record this moment. Don’t blame him/her. The most important thing is that this memory only and uniquely belongs to both of you.
I found the ring in your pocket the other day…
Even you already saw this coming and not that surprised already, act it. Let your partner know the effort he/she has put in is memorable and worth it! You’ll see when you see that genuine smile on his/her face when you say yes.
I was expecting something more romantic.
Whether it is a well-planned proposal or a spontaneous proposal, it’s your unique memory. Criticizing your partner’s proposal style is not a good move! We know that you might scroll through some dream wedding proposal videos that you adore. But, remember, you are going to marry your lifelong partner, not that 10-minute proposal.
I was expecting a different style of ring.
Your partner probably already spends hundreds of hours trying to find a style that suits you. You may bring this topic up at a later time. Enjoy this moment with happy tears! If you want to avoid this from happening. Drop the subtle hints here and there, and we hope he/she will get it.
How much is the ring?
I know you are curious, but does it matter? Keep this out from the questions. Like what we said about wanting that dream proposal, you marry a life partner, not the ring!
Are my family and friends coming?
If a family and friend surprise is coming up, you will find out sooner than later. Just focus on your partner at this moment. We know your family and friends can be witnesses to this epic moment. Also, be your photographer/videogrpaher. Even without them being by your side during your proposal, the intimate moment you can have with your partner is also a good thing.
Aren’t you supposed to say something more?
Preparing a proposal is hard enough, and your partner probably was very nervous at that time. Also, depending on your partner’s personality, it can be challenging enough to develop words in this anxious yet important moment. We think encouragement is better than critique.
Can you redo it again?
Proposal and getting proposed is all living in that exact moment. We know you would want your partner to redo it again. But trust us, the first time is always the best.
Did you ask my father for permission?
Okay… this is an old wedding tradition. If you think this is a must, try to give your partner a slight hint about this tradition before the proposal happens. If not, you may ask him/ her at a later time.
