A quick catholic proposal 101:
* kneeling is a NoGo, call me unromantic, but we only kneel before God and maybe his representative, but not before another person!
* the value of the ring is not important, the value of a thing never expresses the amount if love s/o has, on the 1/ https://twitter.com/golondrinojoe/status/1279109456152887296

contrary! If a relationship is measured by the net value of things, then it is doomed to fail!
* the more a person makes a fuz about the proposal the less it is really about sharing and living a live together!
* if you are catholic and you are serious about proposing, and your 2/

and your bride to be is all about the fuz and the kneefall, ... then I don’t believe the marriage will be a catholic one!
* a catholic marriage is all about reaching heaven together and before all make sure your husband/wife reaches heaven! Period!!!!
* therefore the proposal 3/

should express this desire, to walk the road into heaven together with the other person!

Let’s put it like this: marriage is not about putting the other person on a pedestal, but put the salvation of the other person on a pedestal
