Loisa and Ronnie Proposal.
People are so weird nowadays. All I see in the proposal is authentic and heartfelt proposal. The nervousness, the joke in between, the constant laughing, tears of joy. These are all pretty common between couples [1]
“Know your worth, girlies.”
So “how you’re proposed to” is suddenly a measure of a woman’s worth? Since when?
I’m newly married, and no, I didn’t get a grand proposal moment. Do I wish I had one? Of course. I’d be hypocritical to say otherwise.
But did that make me any less valuable?
Did it define the man I married?
Did it change our relationship?
Did it diminish the love and appreciation I have for someone I’ve shared almost a decade with?
Did it mean I don’t know my worth as a woman?
Absolutely not.
There is so much more to love, commitment, and partnership than the aesthetics people glorify online. The real value lies in the life you build together, not the moment you post for everyone else to see.
