The stakes are getting higher and higher with proposals. Even taking someone out on an awesome first date date could have to involve something like stealing a blue french horn. The more romantic movies and books get, the more people expect in real life. Are we setting the expectations ridiculously high? It’s possible.
The newest trend (or maybe not so new) is big prom proposals. Forget just approaching that special someone in the hallway, or just asking your girlfriend/boyfriend casually if they want to go to prom. No. You have to do something big. So, the question is: if you have an epic prom proposal, will you be comparing your marriage proposal to it years later?
I know, I know. They’re completely different. But, come on. Watch some of the prom proposals below and tell me they wouldn’t be just as epic if you changed it from “Go to prom with me?” to “Will you marry me?”
In good news, you can always use these prom ideas for the “real deal” when it comes to proposing. After all, who is more romantic than teenagers? It’s when you’re expectations are the highest because you haven’t experienced quite as much of the “real world” yet…am I right?
If someone had shoved that many ping pong balls into my locker, though, I’m not sure I would have thought it was very cute.
What do you think? Are “promposals” putting more pressure on marriage proposals?
