Before the explosion of social media and online video sharing sites, a marriage proposal was often a low-key event, shared between two lovers and retold to family and friends verbally. In the most traditional relationships a man would get down on one knee, confess his undying love for his girlfriend, and ask her to be his wife. In more traditional settings, the wedding proposal probably happened after the man asked the woman’s father for permission for his little girl’s hand.
With a growing love of technology on the rise, marriage proposals are more than a fleeting private moment between the couple. They can be immortalized through online video with song, dance, video, friends, family and even engagement with strangers walking down the street. As social networks have grown so has the popularity of social proposals. With Valentine’s Day around the corner anyone planning to propose can watch marriage proposal videos for tips on web sites like YouTube for inspiration.
