In a world filled with varying opinions and customs surrounding marriage proposals, one question often arises: Is it truly necessary to propose before getting married?

This question has puzzled many, but for those who believe in the significance of this romantic gesture, the answer is clear — it is absolutely necessary.

Throughout my teenage years, I often wondered how my future boyfriend would propose to me.

The idea of a man, down on one knee, asking if I would spend my entire life with him was a dream that held a special place in my heart.

Yet, as I approached the age of marriage, I found myself in a relationship with a man who was more inclined towards simplicity, practicality, and the substance of our togetherness rather than grand gestures.

Our differing views on the importance of a proposal led to disagreements and tension.

There were moments when I questioned the significance of the ceremony itself. Was it truly essential?

In my heart, I knew that if a proposal ceremony could bring happiness and joy into my life, then it was indeed necessary.
