Kkat shared an interesting link in a recent comment (here), and the article is entitled “Proposal Planners: If You’re Ready to Pop the Question”.
It’s about a new line of professionals who specialise in planning your wedding proposal.
So whereas in the past we used to only have wedding planners, now we have “proposal planners” as well.
So what happens is that for a fee, they will help you dream up the perfect proposal scenario, and at the same time assist you in executing it as well, depending on the constraints of your budget.
Hey this sounds right up my alley.
If you think about it, it’s no different from writing up a playscript and having actors act them out, don’t you think?
I definitely think that this is something I could be good at, ha!
And it sounds really fun too.
Anyway, I was just thinking about the whole notion of wedding proposals recently.
They way I see it, it’s quite a simple affair actually.
I don’t know what the fuss is all about.
You see, for the ladies, they are in 1 of 2 states: Either they are “ready” to accept your proposal or they are “not ready”.
It’s as simple as that.
What I mean is that after being together with you for a certain period of time, she might reach a point where she tells herself “OK, I am now ready to get married to you, so if you propose to me anytime after today I will definitely accept.”
Get my drift so far?
So on that fateful day when the guy finally decides to pluck up the courage to execute his grand, elaborate song-and-dance routine known as the wedding proposal, he should realise that his girlfriend is essentially either a) ready to marry him, or b) not ready to marry him.
It’s completely binary, if you think about it scientifically.
So what’s there to be nervous about?
You mean that sneaky flash mob dance routine you engineer would be the deal-clincher?
Or that heart-wrenching speech you make in front of two hundred people would sway her from a “I don’t want to marry you” to “OK, let’s get married now!”?
Or maybe you should have ordered her the lobster instead of trout over dinner?
You get my drift now?
Any girl who’s rational would have thought about it in advance, about whether she is ready to marry her boyfriend.
Surely the form of wedding proposal would not be instrumental in her decision to marry him or not, right?
No one bases her decision on whether she wants to marry him from how elaborate or impressive the proposal was, right?
If you’re ready to marry, you’re ready, and if you’re not ready, then you’re not.
I’m just sayin’.
Business as a proposal planner should be really interesting and fun so maybe you can start some feasibility studies or plan soon :D I will be happy to help out on other administrative matters and play the supporting cast if needed!
It certainly takes both hands to clap for the “simple affair” to be successful!
Ladies who are mentally ready for marriage and men who are courageous enough to pop the question sincerely be it a simple affair or dramatic one!
Unfortunately, I got to know a friend who is in a relationship for 10 years, waiting for marriage in vain, to know that the man didnt want to get married.
So on one hand, the lady is ready, the man is not, and the proposal will never come! If only, the man could have taken the courage to end the relationship earlier, the lady could have gone on in search of new love that will lead to marriage.
