Kneeling to propose, and gravity..

I have heard of it, but haven't ever seen it. As to the ring, I've never seen a ring roll off the finger, but I have heard many times that the ring needed to be resized.

Wonder how the kneeling to propose came about.

Better you stay away from these doubts.

Vanny ma'am that's typically like you type of post What not comes to your mind. Now you make me scratch my head and ponder. I am not married so need to ask an experienced one. My community does not follow such rituals so I have to ask someone else. To some extent I learnt from Anna @LadyDuck . I will be back when I know the answers

I think that this is an "American thing", I have never seen an Italian kneeling to propose. I know I would have found this funny and not at all romantic. About the ring, if it roll off the fiancee bought the wrong size. I keep my wedding ring on my finger all the time, even when I wash my hands, it never rolled down. Did you wear rings?

that is one tough question van, i will just read answers from those who knew more :D

the man will insert the ring on her fingers and it won't just fall off if it is the right size, just as your pants and panties and not sliding off your legs just because there is gravity. :P I don't know about how they got the ring size, but their friends might have helped. :P there are ways to do things, so since they want to propose, i am sure they will find ways to know her ring size.

If the ring falls off her finger that easily, something aint right. That means he didn't put in the effort to get her correct fit. Who knows what else he won't put any effort into. There are multiple ways to find out someones ring size without alerting them

When the ring fits well, nope it won't fall off because the hand is not that slippery for the ring to fall off easily. I always wear a ring. Second doubt. When the boyfriend is that determined to marry his girlfriend, he would go through all lengths to get to know everything about the love of her life. It's too easy to find out a woman's ring size. She has friends, she has parents, she has siblings. And sometimes, an expert jeweller at the shop can easily tell a woman's size just by looking at a photo.

Are you getting married? Congrats and if not congrats when you do. I hate all the tradition, never understand them, well I do, but its like one day you may think different so why throw that in there. Anyway, I am the wrong person to ask but you bring up a fair point and congrats just in case you are getting married.

I never actually know of anyone who was proposed to like that. My husband proposed first then we went to look for a ring. Seems the most sensible way of doing things.

How about in your country Vanny-san? Do you defy gravity? hehe

Has...all such things only happen in the movies

A boy who really loves a girl knows everything about her... Not only the size of her fingers. but everything! No need to worry about the size of the ring.. he knows the size of everything.. hahaha... And people have different formalities around the world to get married. Somebody wear license on their neck to worship someone as their husband. though some may not be... But wearing the ring on ring finger scientifically controls the mind and heart to remember someone is close to you.

Well that's movies for you. Chinese most of them will never kneel, the knees are for one's parents and no one else. Yes the ring will fall off if the finger has no choice since the proposer is kneeling down, lol. How to know the right size? All I can say is many ways starting with "borrowing" away her accessories.

it will not be difficult if the guy had given the girl a ring before.. but sometimes they may just guess it

Many men will have bought their bride-to-be an engagement ring. Most engagement rings will need to be sized before the bride-to-be can wear it comfortably. (Until it is sized, there is a danger the ring will slide off and be lost.) After the engagement ring has been sized, the groom-to-be just needs to buy the wedding ring at the same jewelry shop and the jeweler will match it's size to the engagement ring.

There are ways to find the ring size. Ask her best friend, mother or anyone else close that might know in confidence. Or be sneaky and get the size of a ring she already has? Or use a straw wrapper to measure the ring size by wrapping it around the finger while she sleeps or something. People find weirdly creative ways to find the ring size like using bottle caps, etc.. So, since the ring size is correct, the ring won't fall off.

My husband officially proposed me after our marriage and gave me a diamond ring that actually fit my thin finger. For my engagement, it was an old ring of my mother in law and it was too loose or me,so they put a thread around it, As for the law of gravity, love is too weird to follow any laws except in-laws
