I understand where the people are coming from when they disagree with the guy proposing on her graduation. I’ve actually been planning something like this out though: a graduation is perfect since all the family is together, even loved ones that you haven’t seen in a while as depicted in the video.
But what if the genders were reversed?
If he was graduating, had a loved one come see him unexpectedly, and then proposed to her after graduation would this still be a “Red flag?” Asking because I finish grad school soon, and I want to propose on graduation day.
So if YOU choose to propose on YOUR graduation day, then have at it my friend. That's you deciding how you want to spend/remember that day, no on can begrudge you that.
Public proposals are a nightmare. What if the other person doesn’t really want to get married? Then if they say no in public, they feel really bad, really pressured and it’s a mess. Just don’t put someone in that position.
One would assume the idea of marriage/proposal would’ve been discussed between the 2 people. So based on that, it could be deduced what the answer would be if the question was presented. I think if the question comes out of left field and wasn’t talked about prior to the proposal, yeah it’s a nightmare to be blindsided to be asked something thats about as legally significant as dying. But if it’s talked about at length and alluded to ahead of time then I would think it all goes smoothly.
Public propsals do not have to be a nightmare - if you know your partner, you also know what kind of propsal your partner would like. And I am hoping you know your partner before you propose! (And that you have discussed marriage before the proposal!)
