This is by far the best episode! Supporting you, producer L! 💍
Something more important to me than a marriage proposal, private or public, is to obtain my would-be partner's parents' permission and blessing first before proposing.
Definitely an important factor to consider. As the saying goes, marriage is not simply a union of two people together, but two families!
I personally have a BTO with my long term partner which is coming in two years. But I think it doesn’t take away the “surprise” element of a proposal, since either way with or without the house I’d still be waiting for his proposal by a certain age (which coincides with my house arrival). Similarly I think if the proposal is way out of hand or if the relationship isn’t working out I’d not hesitate to dump the house away. Like I always tell my bf, losing 5% of the downpayment is better than losing the rest of my life away to a lousy marriage/relationship. Just my two cents!
Thanks for sharing! Totally agree with the last sentence!!! 🙌
Personally, I think the discussion point here should be the expectation of a female towards the idea of a proposal.
We are currently in the more "surface" era where people loves to compare what their partner does and/or give to them, against their friends or even unrealistic comparison on the internet. And in that sense, it has become common for female to bring up saying their partner does not love them or less effort just because of a smaller ring, or even a smaller set-up for the proposal.
Travelling 6 months to form "marry me" on the world map is flashy. How many people in the world have that amount of money to spare? Save the money for god sake.
I don't have proposal by the way. We went straight into marriage. Haha.. And life still goes on.

cool~
