Proposing in public, is it a DO or a DON'T in your opinion?
Personally, I think it's pretty romantic but do I dare to do it? Heck no! That will leave it to the men ;D What is your view on this?

I'm curious. Do M'sian chinese men even propose?? My husband never propose. We just went register when the time was right. Any Asian husband did the kneel down, diamond ring proposing kinda act? Please do share your experience if your hubby did since I don't know any!  As in proposing in public, as long as those two love birds like it, why not? It's definitely romantic to see a man profess his love in public. Only those who could afford a big diamond ring would do such a thing though since the camera man will most probably zoom in on the diamond on the ring (if it's on T.V.).  It does take courage to propose in public! |

Ching If you hubby didn't propose, how did he ask you to go register with him? Did he just say, hei, let's go  With my hubby, we sort of know the day will come. But knowing me (I never like anything he choose for me), he flew back to Singapore to buy the ring with me. No formal proposal on bended knee or 'will you marry me' those kind of things though. We had a romantic dinner at Goodwood Park that evening. That's abt it. An ex colleague of mine had a romantic proposal in public. Her bf then got her a birthday cake for her birthday. They had a dinner in a restaurant. When the cake was brought to her, it was inscribed with "Will you marry me?". She said the waiters and waitresses were urging her to say yes ;D ;D |

Janny, He didn't even say hey, let's go.  I think I was the one that made all the decision. It was obvious that we were going to marry each other and when my OPT expired and if I wanted to remain with him, the only way was to register. So, I just told him let's pick a date and go register and he just said ok, and since he was still a student at that time, he got no money to buy me a diamond ring (I only got it 5 years later! ;D), so no celebration whatsoever. No wedding pictures and no banquet, not crazy for those though since now we already have a daughter. |
