- *i cant find any sources on my the subject, so the following is bases on observation and opinion* I believe it came the Victorian era in Great Britain and it suppose to convey the idea of a man showing inferiority to his would be spouse, i believe it states "Without you i am nothing, or My love for you makes me weak and i need you to make me strong." However as stated this is a theory on observation, and no actual fact.

Purpose of Proposal?

* You propose to the person you love to be sure she will accept your offer of marriage. Generally when you propose you give her the engagement ring right then and there. There is still the old custom of some men getting down on one knee (it's still done to this day) but not mandatory and you can be anywhere at any given time to propose. Just be sure you don't put that ring in her drink! It has been noted that the love of someones life has almost choked to death on the ring when swallowing her drink.
