Holiday Proposals

So with yesterday being Valentine's Day, I bet that there are a lot of girls planning weddings now! I would take a guess that Valentine's Day and Christmas Day or Christmas Eve are the two biggest times of the year for proposals...

It makes me wonder why men like to propose on holidays?

It could be because men are intimidated by holiday gift-giving, and an engagement ring is easy and special. Or maybe a holiday is a good date for men to be able to remember their engagements...

I do think holiday engagements can be done right so they are extremely special to the couple and not cheesy. Proposing on a holiday just takes a little more creativity I think.


One of my friends got engaged on Christmas Eve 2006. They agreed they wouldn't spend more than $20, so her fiance made a beautiful jewelry box all on his own. He then put the ring in the jewelry box, and when they exchanged gifts on Christmas Eve, he proposed. Her gift to him? A bottle of wine with their names and the date! How perfect!

I don't think you could have a better proposal than something so personal like that on a holiday...
