Engagement Etiquette
- Question:
- Can I propose to my boyfriend?
- Answer:
Of course you can! You can make your proposal of marriage to him as traditional or as fun and informal as you want. And don't be afraid to get down one knee either.
While we're not suggesting you buy him a diamond ring, you could buy him another accessory he can wear every day—a watch, necklace, bracelet or another style ring.
Some brides-to-be who decide to propose to their boyfriends have bought themselves an engagement ring, and when the groom-to-be says yes she asks him to slip it onto her ring finger.
- If the wedding is cancelled, who keeps the engagement ring?
- Who should I tell first about my engagement?
