      My husband and I r both non-Vietnamese. And they way Uyen is describing her experience with proposals, that is us. We r very Lowkey. There r people that had more elaborate proposals, weddings, and honeymoons, and they r no longer married. Or very unhappy. Marry someone 'like' u. If u r high maintenance, they must be the same. Changing ur life partner is disgusting. U want him to clean a little better, but changing who they r at the core, is not right. Have the same faith. Feel about money the same. And family.

    I’m American, and while I did want a ring, I did NOT want a public proposal. Neither did my husband.
    We were out for a nice dinner to celebrate 6 months of dating, and afterwards went for a walk at our favorite park. He proposed on a rock overlooking the Mississippi River, using a poem he’d written. It was beautiful, and perfect for us! 15 years & 2 kids later, he’s still my best friend. :)

      ​@Василий It's common for people here to say their wife/husband is their partner and best friend (or something similar). It means even when you're not being romantic/sexual (nobody is like that 100% of the time), you still enjoy each other's company. It implies companionship, not just physical attraction.

    Today I learned - we did things the VIetnamese way. We are British and always get funny looks whem people ask how my husband proposed and we say he didn't, and I didn't propose to him. We were just chatting and decided together that we were going to get married. It seemed natural and the right thing for us. Also, at the beginning of our relationship, neither of us asked the other out. We were friends and got closer. We were watching a film at a friends house and his arm ended up around my shoulders, our friend asked "Are you dating?" and we looked at each other and I said "I guess so". Married 20 years this year and are really happy together. Congratulations Uyen! I hope you have a long and happy marriage.

    This is what I love about proposal stories: they're often so personalized and special. You can really tell the strong healthy relationships because they have beautiful unique stories like this one.
    I'm American and proposal and wedding culture is super huge here, but my husband proposed in a very similar private way. We had talked about it a lot beforehand so we were both on the same page and knew it was something we both wanted to do, and I even helped pick out my ring. Our wedding was also very special and unique to us, as we did away with a lot of typical "traditions" because they didn't mean anything to us.
    Congratulations!

      Tbh for me a marriage is just what I had before: a partnership, where we're both commited to each other. But with marriage it has a legal frame added to it.
      I kinda also feel like for many people its really just about having a big fancy wedding. I don't understand that and yeah where I come from you normally have several years maybe more than a decade of commited relationship behind you already so maybe thats why but I don't judge it. Everyone can go their way how they think its right.

    Congratulations!!!!! We are Americans and have experienced the proposal moment. But when we got engaged (we were both widowed) we did just what you and your friends would do. We knew we were falling in love. We woke up in a hotel on my birthday - we were visiting friends - and just laid in bed and told each other that we wanted to be married to one another. We went to a jewelry store and found the setting we wanted - my husband then worked with a local jeweler to get the stone quality he wanted and TWO wedding bands because he wanted to meld them into one ring, so the diamonds continued along the band. IWe just celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary - I wear my rings on my hand and sometimes when I'm doing regular things, I see the diamonds shine and remember the days we got engaged and married!

    He did it in a very sweet way! ❤️ My engagement was also private and quiet. My husband wanted to propose at the beach on our holiday, but there were always lots of people, so he decided to wait until we got back to the hotel. And he did the right thing, because I wouldn't feel ok with anyone staring at me at that moment. Proposing in front of other people is totally immature 🤦 My friend said "yes" under that kind of pressure and here they are ten years later, not talking to each other for weeks....

Whenever you have the time and tiny bit of drive, feed it into your tiny steps to move yourself an inch towards the point where solutions get more accessible for you. It can take time, so you may aswell start today. So future you could harvest the results at some point. You do not have to suffer like this. AND, you sure asheck do not need to find ways out of the difficulties on your own and immediately either. A tiny step, then and now, are enough.

    I'm so glad you are so honest about this!! I felt like a monster for feeling super anxious when my now husband proposed. We had already been talking about getting married, so it was a matter of "when" and not "if". I was super into proposal videos and wedding stuff in general. But we always said that we'd wait until we were both financially independent. Turns out, he couldn't wait anymore. So when he asked me, I did not see it coming AT ALL and though I had never been anxious about marriage, suddenly the finality of it and how much of a big deal it was hit me. I felt that way for like a day until I told him about it. Literally the moment I had gotten my worries off my chest and he was so understanding and supportive I stopped feeling that way. I felt safe and loved and full of love for him. I was sure that I wanted this. I don't keep this a secret, as I don't want others to feel alone or horrible, should they ever have a similar experience.

We never wanted a wedding, but the closer we get to the legal aspect of this, the more we have a desire to celebrate the idea. Maybe something private, just for us. It's all about doing what feels right to you.
