They should’ve just said they did it this way for content. I personally don’t think an engagement is something that just happens to a woman and doesn’t need to be a complete surprise but what is this?! I love they’re trying to convince themselves this is being super modern when really it’s just a weird mix of staged and them being sort of surprised at the proposal…that they planned.
And you can agree marriage is on the cards and that’s what you both want without a planned proposal for you to post. My husband and I were together for 5 years, we’d talked about that being the next step that we both wanted and he still managed to surprise me. The difference is we didn’t obsess over a bizarre need to curate content. And getting engaged isn’t the end game, we’ve all seen influencers become consumed with being a wife before being dumped before the big day so I think the incessant content will only make things worse. Oof rant over!
