When you propose, you can choose to make it intimate or public. It’s a big decision which way you go, because sometimes it can have a real affect on the answer of the proposal (ie. no public proposals for super shy girls). So be careful to analyze the pros and cons of what can ensue.
Take this one for example:
PRO:
- She can immediately share the news with the people she cares about
- People LOVE feeling included
- If you want the people to know in advance, they can help with the planning
- You can get tons of great pictures from different angles
- You can have an engagement party immediately after
CON:
- Some people tend to interrupt the proposal with “CAN I SEE THE RING!!?!?!?!” or “DID SHE SAY YES YET? DID SHE?”
- Sometimes there’s screaming…which is just unromantic
- It can sometimes be overwhelming to the girl
- If she says no, you’re embarrassed in front of a LOT of people
- It can feel less intimate
There are equally good and bad sides to doing a public proposal. You really need to just do what you think is best and go with that feeling in your guy (and in your heart). After all, no one knows your lady like you do. Be confident in your choice and give her the proposal she’s always dreamed of.
