Public proposal *not just friends and family but the general public that’s passing by.

I know many of you eagerly want to stay “to each their own” or “whatever makes the couple happy”….but I’m asking you how YOU feel about it. And would you prefer a private or public proposal (if you’re already married or engaged play pretend for a second)

Private I would DIE DIIEEEE if it was in public possibly cry from not enjoyment from being the center of attention and on the spot lol Luckily my proposal was private and at night! He proposed at the park we had our first kiss and where we danced when I was sad usually always at night so no one was there lol :) It was cute he actually proposed with the ring box upside down 🤦‍♀️ it was so funny I loved it

private!!!!! No family, no random onlookers just me and my man! Thankfully thats exactly what I got 🙏🏾😍

I have seen one at the airport and I was embarrassed for them 😳

hmmm. i voted private but im thinking about all those cute proposal videos - like flashmob dance proposal🥹

in public there's always a change for it to go all wrong tho. there was one at disney where a man tried proposing and the worker was like 'nope' and escorted the couple off of the platform they were on 🤣🤣 thats fukked up

beach proposal with flowers OVERRATED. something unique and cute. anyways ill 🤐. effort is important imo.

I told my husband that whenever we got engaged I 1000%%% did not want other people to know we were getting engaged. So like I didn’t want family there. I didn’t want a whole restaurant or park to know. The only people that knew was the two friends we went camping with that knew about the proposal before it happened

I always thought I wanted a private proposal. But then my husband surprised me at my 30th birthday surrounded by my family and best friends and I absolutely loved it because all the people I loved were right there to celebrate with us straight away! But yeah I don’t think I would have enjoyed it happening surrounded by random people.

My proposal was private cuz we were on a flooded path by a river so no one else was dumb enough to walk there lol. I preferred it private tho

I’d want my loved ones to be there

I think it would be really cute and special if my man planned to have my family there or nearby to kinda pop out and celebrate immediately after or during the proposal.. but the whole public nah 😭

My husband sang to me at karaoke and then asked in the mic at the bar lol I loved it. We proceeded to sing together after too

I wanted it private, he made it really special 🫶🏻 I think I’d probably die if he had actually done it publicly like that’s a no from me dawwwwgggggg

I’m with @Zaza 💯 My Husband knew if he proposed in public I wud have said No cuz he knew I wanted a private proposal and that’s what I got :) Ain’t no way, I would want to share the most intimate moment between my partner & I with other ppl nor do I think it was any of their business. In most cases ppl get share to their wedding day with others so I jus wanted our proposal to be 100% jus us, no theatrics or an audience

My husband proposed in his family's vacation home when we went on a trip down there alone. The house been in the family for decades, where he and his brothers and cousins grew up going to fish/hunt etc. It felt very personal and romantic ❤️ now we have since gone a few times with other family visiting, twice with our son and once pregnant with our daughter too was the last time in October. So always so nice to be back to where I got engaged and comparing to the present

I proposed at home over brunch we made together during covid. I had planned to do it in a restaurant that had significance to us,but that wasn't an option. I was glad that it happened at home though, much more us.

Honestly not sure I think I would have been happy with anything as long as he made an effort to make it a special moment. My husband actually proposed to me on the track of a Motersport event with 1,500 people in the stadium! He really made it hard for me to say no 😂 we knew a lot of the other competitors and some of our friends and his family were there to so it was really sweet to have so many people we knew saying congratulations ❤️

My husband proposed to me on top of a mountain, as secluded as it can get… I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way 😂 I aggressively hate being the centre of attention

@Anna👼👶👼👼 what song did he sing?? 🤔😅

@V our song is In Case You Didn't Know by Brett Young. And then we sang Summer Nights from Grease lol

@Anna👼👶👼👼 aww that is sweet 🤗

Semi-private. My husband proposed after my graduation in front of my brother and his parents. It was down at the harbor so we got some cute photos and I have a video. I wanted a video and pictures so unless he set up a camera ahead of time it wouldn’t have worked to be just us, I would probably have said… ask again when we can get a video 😂

My husband proposed on a bridge at a Riverwalk that we went to together frequently. It was one of the bridges further away from where the majority of the Riverwalk was, so usually very private. Except when he proposed. We're literally standing in the middle of the bridge, very obvious what is happening, and this guy walked BETWEEN us! I swear it was on purpose because there was plenty of room to go around us. There's a video of it...I need to dig it up 😂

I would HATE being proposed to at a restaurant, sports game, anywhere busy. My husband proposed in a nearly empty park and it was perfect

@Jasmin absolutely!! Couldn’t agree more. Imagine people having their phones out recording and that sacred moment is there on their phones. No thank you! 🥰🥰

I wouldn’t want a public one at all. I get too embarrassed by attention lol

I’m into grand gestures so I would definitely prefer a public one lol that is not what I received however 🫠🥴🫠 hubs is a bit private under various circumstance

Mine was public and I couldn’t have asked for anything more!

I always said I didn't want a public proposal so my husband kept joking he would do it at his graduation (this through me off his actual plan completely). On the night he proposed, we were walking to meet friends for drinks via the spot we went to on our first date which he thought would be quiet however it was the same day as the armed forces day celebrations so was a lot busier than usual. He'd planned for the friends we were meeting to hide and take photos as he proposed (which is lovely to look back on). He had planned a whole speech to say before asking me, then as he was starting and getting down on one knee, he could see loads of people nearby and knew I'd hate the attention so scrapped the speech and asked me to marry him. I said yes then heard our friend shout to do it again as he hadn't managed to get a good photo of the exact moment I said yes! Although it was in a public place, I loved that it had meaning to us.

Ours was public and private. He proposed outside, at a picnic area/view point but it was dusk so nobody else was around which was nice. We're both private people so wouldn't want an audience. We'd been in a restaurant before that and we both would have hated that setting
