Thanks to the commercialization of the diamond and wedding industries, the diamond has become a “symbol” of love and marriage. This puts an unfortunate amount of unnecessary stress and pressure on couples who may be under budget restrictions. However with the growing awareness of conflict diamonds, many people are turning away from diamonds in favor of human friendly stones. At www.DiamondAlternative.com - we help you find those!

Should a Woman Propose Marriage?

women proposing to menYou love him dearly. He loves you deeply. Both of you know that you plan to spend the rest of your lives together, but he still hasn’t popped the question. Maybe he is a little shy or he can’t afford to buy the ring just yet. It is also possible that he is just afraid you might say no. Whatever the reason is that the two of you have yet to make it official, sometimes it is necessary to take a little action to get the wedding ball rolling. So, the proverbial million dollar question is “Should a Woman Propose Marriage?”

According to an article found at www.lovetripper.com, a survey on proposals that was by Korbel Champagne found that almost one in three (31 percent) Americans were friends with or had met a woman who has asked a man to marry her, rather than the other way around.. It is becoming more and more accepted every day for a woman to be the one who’s getting down on one knee and asking someone to promise they’ll love her forever.

From choosing the venue for the proposal to figuring out how to ask for forever, asking for someone’s hand in marriage can be an overwhelming process no matter who is doing the asking. Be sure that you are ready, that you have prepared well in advance, and if your partner doesn’t want to wear a ring, find a creative solution for a substitute so you are not at a loss for what to do rather than presenting a ring. (A watch or masculine bracelet could work.)

Jason R. Rich, author of “Will You Marry Me? Popping the Question with Romance and Style” (The Career Press, 2003) says that regardless of who proposes, “understanding the expectations and dreams of the person you’re proposing to — and taking them into consideration during the planning process — is the first step in bringing a perfect proposal to life.”
