When it comes to marriage proposals, people often feel the pressure to plan an unforgettable moment for their partner. Unlike how it use to be, marriage proposals can sometimes take a team in terms of venue scouting to finding a photographer to capture the moment. Gone are the days when you’re left to your own devices and Vancouver’s very own date and wedding proposal service Just Because Vancouver is here to help.

This may not be for everyone but for those who have time constraints, need to stay on a budget or detail oriented, this service may just be the answer to your worries. Each proposal is carefully planned between the partner who is proposing and the team. Everything from finding the venue to day of assistance will be provided to you to make sure everything goes off without a hitch.

Since the service seem to be geared towards men being the ones to propose, I wondered if women were starting to take the lead in proposing? Karen Lee from Just Because Vancouver says:

“So far  [our services have been provided] to males, but we actually had one woman (out of 14 entrants) enter our Ultimate Proposal Giveaway. Personally, I'm not sure if our generation is ready for women proposing to men be common yet - I can see it being more acceptable in the future for sure. There are concerns with men feeling 'emasculated' if being proposed to. On the other hand, many women find themselves ready to settle down in their late 20's, early 30's, while men are still coming to terms with it in their early 30's. If a woman proposes before the man is ready, it could make him feel more pressure to tie the knot. “

As for most popular proposal venues, Lee disclosed that people tend to choose these three places:

1) A memorable place, where they had their first date or a date that they both enjoyed

2) A private area overlooking the city (i.e. a quiet view point or in a privately rented room in a high-rise).  

3) A scenic spot overlooking the waters (i.e. a dock or a beach)

While embarking on the marriage process can be exciting, memorable, emotion and stressful all at the same time, it also raises the question on why we feel it’s important for us to take the step towards marriage and what that looks like. People often describe their discomfort with women proposing to tradition roles in relationships. Certainly, the idea of gender specific expectations when it comes to proposals should change. If women are encouraged to go for (and ask for) what they want in the workplace, why shouldn’t we have the same attitude about relationships and marriage?
