For Brides Who Haven't Been Proposed to Yet ♡ A Summary of Public Proposal-Like Performances for Grooms to Showcase at the Wedding*
2020.09.20 published
It seems that the number of men proposing is decreasing.
Did you all know this?
In fact, in Japan today, it is said that one in three couples is having their wedding without a proposal...!
It’s true that, depending on age or the length of the relationship, couples sometimes just end up getting married without a formal proposal, or in the case of a shotgun wedding.
It’s common to hear stories of couples who entered into the wedding ceremony without going through the process of "submitting a marriage proposal."
This is merely a statistical figure, so it may not apply to couples around you,
But it’s surprising to think that there are quite a few couples—one in three—that fall into this category!
Perhaps among the brides reading this article, there are many who might say, “Actually, I haven’t been proposed to either...?”
【Honest Opinion】I want a proposal-like moment at my wedding!
Arriving at the wedding without a proposal is a matter of timing for both individuals,
So it’s not solely the fault of the groom... which makes it somewhat understandable.
However, as a woman, when I see brides who have received beautiful proposals, I can’t help but feel envious♡
The truth is, "Ah, I wanted to be proposed to too..."!
For those brides who are harboring such feelings in their hearts, there is still a chance for their partner to propose!
That is, to have a proposal-esque moment during the wedding ceremony***.
Although it might be embarrassing to propose in front of guests, it’s bound to be very romantic and incredibly happy!*
This time, I’d like to introduce proposal-like moments that grooms can consider for those holding weddings without a proposal.♡
Proposal-like Moment ① Dozen Roses
A Dozen Roses ceremony, where the groom collects 12 roses from guests and presents a bouquet along with a proposal to the bride, is a classic presentation.
It can be performed during either a civil ceremony or a reception, and the fact that it involves guest participation is also a lovely point!*
Since it’s a presentation centered on the groom, it’s a great opportunity for him to take the spotlight! Let’s ask him to do it!♡

Proposal-like Moment ② Engagement Cover Ceremony
The Engagement Cover Ceremony is a wedding presentation where the engagement ring is placed on top of the wedding band after the exchange of rings.
It carries the meaning of “sealing the eternal love and bond of the two,” making it very romantic!♡
Many grooms even express a proposal when placing the engagement ring, saying things like "I will cherish it for a lifetime!"*

Proposal-like Moment ③ Bouquet of 108 Roses
A bouquet of 108 roses has a straightforward meaning of "Please marry me," making the presentation of the 108 roses a popular proposal-like moment!*
Casually hint at your partner, saying "I heard that surprising scenes like this are trending at weddings. Isn’t it nice~? ♡"
