Over time, romantic relationships cease to satisfy both man and woman. Both are increasingly thinking about married life, building their own hearth, a long life together. If you feel that the moment has come when it is time to decide the question of the wedding, propose to your sweetheart. If you do not know how to ask for the girl's hand and heart in an original way, draw up an offer in the traditions of a particular people.
Instructions
Step 1
The usual confession. A man invites a lady on a date in an intimate setting. In the middle of the evening, when the girl is completely relaxed after a few compliments and delicious dishes, the man stands on one knee in front of her, hands the box with the ring to the girl and asks her to become his wife.
Step 2
Indian tradition. Lovers agree on a life together without asking their parents. The woman goes to her husband. In some cases, in addition to the conspiracy of the newlyweds, the bride's ransom ceremony was present: the groom paid her parents with money or property.
Step 3
Karelian tradition. Girls and boys gathered for gatherings for three days. Each guy was asked which girl he wants to get to know better. They brought her up to him, all evening they talked only to each other. Sometimes the conversation turned into decisions about marriage: in the morning the girl packed her things and went to her husband. These "secret marriages" helped to avoid the cost of feasts and lavish celebrations. In other cases, they agreed only about the time of the wedding, after which the girl left a ring or shawl as a pledge.
Step 4
European tradition. A young couple could never, under any circumstances, be alone. Someone else must have been present: parents, relatives, servants. Therefore, the recognition of the young man and the answer of the girl were heard by everyone who was near. If the girl agreed, then no one else could propose to her, otherwise he would be refused.
