How to propose

An engagement occurs when one partner asks the other if one is to marry "will you marry me" During the proposal, one can choose to go down knees the classic way and open the ring box and ask or question in a romantic way and then take out the ring as a symbol afterwards. It is still common that it is the man who propose, but it is becoming increasingly more common that the woman does. There are many ancient traditions that one can choose to follow or reject regarding the proposal.

You may ask the bride's father for his daughter's hand before the proposal, of course , fathers are not revealing anything to anyone else. Another tradition is that the woman may be allowed to propose, but only on leap day, the 29th of February every 4th year. After you have entered the engagement the tradition says that you should get married within a year, but on average, it takes two years and three months before engagement is shifted into marriage.
