Will you?

[Perdita]

As the 29th February approaches, are there any ladies out there who will pop the question to their beloved? :wub: Will/would you do this at any other time as well? :heart: How about it?

I did this 16 years ago and I am not in the middle of a divorce with same guy.. won't be doing it again

Well Ladies, if you do ask someone to marry you and they turn you down, tradition dictates that they must buy you a new dress. So it might just be worth asking someone ha ha.

I don't think women should propose. I think where weddings are concerned traditions should be followed, the man asks the woman to marry, man doesn't see wfe to be on the eve of the wedding etc.

Do women have to get down on a bended knee when they propose?

[Jojo]

Traditions are only good being followed, if, to me, you go to church every week without fail, then get married in the eyes of the Lord etc.

Personally, I'm not a believer, so went out of tradition and married abroad, saw my hubby the entire time, saw him the night before the wedding etc - hasn't made any difference to us (9 years later)

I may "ask" hubby about renewing our vows, but otherwise, we are happy the way we are.

I'm not religious and would never consider getting married in a church or marrying somebody who is religious. I don't consider traditions as a religious thing either.

At the end of the day, your life is still the same after you get married. Doesn't stop me from getting married, wearing the dress and having a great party though.

When you meet someone will your first question be, Do you believe in god then???? How will you know if they are religious??


Im not religious and tradition was the last thing i thought of when we got married.
Church was the last place we wanted to get married ecause to us it would have looked hypocritical to get married in church if we dont go, another reason why our son isnt christened. But if it is tradition you want to follow then church should be a part of your wedding!
I didnt wear white either, i chose a burgundy dress.
Me and dave stayed together the night before, the whole staying apart seems a very strange thing to do when you live together!

asfor the whole 29th of feb thing if we werent already married then yeah id ask him to me marry me, i see nothing wrong with it.

[Jojo]

I hope you don't take me the wrong way here, but that doesn't make sense. Traditional weddings take place in Church don't they? So if you wanted to follow tradition when you got married (not you personally, but anyone) then surely that would be the route to go down.

The "current" husband (keeps him on his toes when he is referred to as that :lol: ) and I got married in a church, I spent the night before with a friend, he did not see me or my red wedding dress before I walked down the aisle, I wore something borrowed and something blue. This was nearly 10 years ago now and I do not regret a single thing. I would, however, not ask the question myself, I am not confident enough to do that.

[Chloe O'brien]

If I was to get married I would bugger off abroad and do it instead of splashing out all that money for a church wedding and reception just to please everyone else. Church weddings should be for couples who attend chruch. I was raised a catholic and still have strong beliefs but for me to set foot in a church now would be hyprocritical.

You wouldn't even marry someone who was religious just because you aren't religious?? Isn't that a bit.. "Religiousist" (:lol: Don't think that's a word. You get me though?)

I would propose. But I wouldn't. Does that make sense :lol:. I'm not against it, but personally I wouldn't have the guts to actually do it!

[Kim]

Yeah, makes perfect sense, Lea. I would be the same. I wouldn't ask someone for their mobile number, let alone to marry me! I think a woman doing the proposing is uncommon, but if there's a woman out there who wants to ask a partner to marry her, there's nothing wrong with that. Even if I had the confidence to propose though, I'd still rather be proposed to.

I think it's personal choice where a wedding takes place, too. Non church goers marrying in one seems beyond the point, but I don't have anything against it. It depends on both partner's feelings combined, I think. It's not fair to be against a non-church goer getting married in a church if the other partner is religious and wishes to be married in a church.

[Abbie]

I wouldnt have the nerve to propse, plus I want to be proposed to :p

I would love to get married in a church, but I undertand your points on tradditon

[Perdita]

I take it then that nobody dared ask the question then. :heart:
