A few days ago, a viral video stirred conversations online after capturing a man who proposed to his girlfriend without kneeling, only for the lady to reject his ring in public. The incident sparked heavy debate about the cultural expectations surrounding marriage proposals.
In a fresh development, yet another video has surfaced online showing a different scenario where a man also proposed marriage to his girlfriend without kneeling, but this time the outcome was joyous as the woman accepted his proposal with excitement.
According to the trending clip, the couple was seated in a restaurant when the man confidently walked up to his girlfriend holding a beautiful ring box. The moment she noticed what he had in his hand, she was visibly overwhelmed with joy and a touch of shyness, unable to hide her anticipation.
Without going down on one knee, the man gently held her hand, opened the box, and slid the sparkling ring onto her finger. The gesture was met with smiles and applause from people around, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their relationship.
Mixed Reactions Trail the Proposal
The video has since generated a wide range of reactions on social media. While some viewers criticized the man for not kneeling, others defended him, insisting that love and commitment are far more important than the posture during a proposal.
Dimdim commented: “I understand we’ve already been brainwashed from the media to normalize things like dis. Buh bruh all this doesn’t mean jack shit. We kneel down or not, it doesn’t make you a good marriage so why is it a big problem?”
Mr_davchigozie added: “That’s the right way to do it. But before you propose make sure you have gone to meet her parents and your parents and seek permission before you propose to your woman. Never Kneel down to propose to your woman, it’s a sign of begging a woman to marry you and submitting your leadership authority too.”
Mercy reacted: “He refused to kneel, she still said yes… True love na when your ego no block the deal.😂”
AlibabaMedia wrote: “At the end of the day, it’s the love and commitment that matters, not the posture 🙌❤️.”
BigAdamz weighed in: “That other girl Dey cr*ze niii, u fit collect car, shops without requesting him to kneel down but when e reach ring you now see him as a proud man, a joker.”
Prime concluded: “The ideology of kneeling down is western culture and shouldn’t be forced on men. As a man don’t let society pressure you. Do as you feel comfortable.”
The viral video continues to stir conversations about love, cultural traditions, and modern-day proposals. While some uphold the idea of kneeling as a show of respect, others argue that sincerity and commitment should remain the true foundation of marriage proposals.
