Marriage Proposals

Kristi KObayashi

Marriage proposals have been a tradition in the Western culture in which one person (usually a man) asks the other person (usually the woman) for their hand in mariage. The person proposing usually gets down on one knee, giving the proposee the power to make the decision. Proposals vary in their delivery but it has become common to make the proposal eventful and memorable so men (or women) planning to propose: think long and hard and make it one you'll be excited to tell your future kids about!
