How do YOU feel abt Valentine’s Day proposals? So My Husband & I sometimes used to like to go out to restaurants & pretend to fake propose so we got free food & perks 🫢😇 it’s so funny coz we are already married! Yes, we play too much! Haha

Technically if they propose to you on a holiday then the ring is a gift, and cannot get the ring back if the engagement ends. Personally I’m not overly romantic, so I don’t see the draw to Valentine’s Day.
He proposed on Valentine’s Day and served me divorce papers on Valentine’s Day and I still cackle over the fact I was more excited to get the divorce docs 😂🤣 I hit a full cartwheel in high heels! That day hits different for me, INDEPENDENCE DAY 💥🔥
@Nika LMFAO!!!! I just got word from my lawyer after 4 years my ex finally signed the divorce papers and it’s final. I’m expecting them in the mail any day now and I swear when I got that call I screeched in excitement so loud my neighbors heard me. I’ve been engaged for a year and haven’t been able to move forward with my true love because of this asshat.
@Alyson same! Mine was 6 years overdue 😆 he thought he did his big one meanwhile I was partying up and down the hallways. Happy you can move on! Congratulations 🎉
As someone who got proposed to on valentines day: NOOOOOOOO. He bought the ring on Christmas because he forgot to get me a Christmas gift and said it was because he was saving up for the ring which was bs because it wasn't that expensive. (Not complaining about the cost of the ring, just his excuses.) He proposed on valentines day and it guess thought that because it was on valentines day that was romantic enough? No extra frills, no speech. He knew I knew he had the ring, and he literally handed me the box and said "ya want this?" while we were watching the live action Space Jam. I was an idiot and said yes but fortunately shook off the cobwebs in my brain and left him a few months later. Obviously if it's a better proposal and it's more meaningful and whatever then that's different, but it still felt like... pressure. And permanently ruined valentines day for me. It will forever be the day my ex proposed during space jam.
I'm not a massive fan of proposals at Christmas, a few of my husband's friends proposed on these days and they said they only did it as they didn't know what to buy for a gift
Unless it has meaning for you for another reason (you got together on valentines, etc) then it’s a no from me. Same as Christmas proposals. Same as birthday proposals. Feels like ‘I didn’t know what to get you, so let’s get married!’. No thanks! Mine was a random day in January, but in a special place that held a lot of meaning for both of us.
I don't like Valentine's day at all. In Finland it is a Friendship Day and you remember your friends.
Hallmark Holiday 🤮🤢 not my thung
Not proposal but we got married on Valentine’s Day and I have yet to meet anyone who’s used Valentine’s Day as their proposal day or their wedding day.
Haha wow........ Yeah my husband proposed on Valentine's Day within 3 months of dating him. Been Married for 6 years.
Nope! I told my fiance to not propose on Valentines day, Xmas day or our anniversary! So he proposed 2 days before Valentines day 🥰
I got propose to on Valentine’s day in Belize by a beautiful waterfall. It was only us on the tour. So it was very special without a big scene with other people.
I only said No because I got engaged to my ex on Valentine’s Day and it clearly didn’t work as it was over the top and wasn’t me at all.

My husband's birthday is Valentine's Day. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day and do his birthday instead. I told him when we talked about getting engaged I did not want him to propose on any holiday or birthday. He did a very sweet proposal on the 19th while in Texas for the first time visiting his family. He did tell me that he almost proposed on the 14th since we were on a beach just us two which I would have been fine with. I just didn't want it to be a whole thing in front of a bunch of strangers that felt pressured even though I knew I wanted to marry him. I have seen one holiday proposal and it didn't seem very well thought out or special. The person being proposed to seemed so uncomfortable.
@Sarah This is so cute 🥹💗
Yes I think vday is a great day for proposals
I got engaged between my husband's birthday and Christmas (his birthday is December 10th). I think getting engaged at Christmas or Valentines Day is the worst times as it's just so predictable.
@Lorri🌱 my dad married his second wife on valentine's day in Vegas.
@Alyson i feel you on that 🤣 i asked for a divorce and then my ex had her brother come over while I was showering to "serve" me...I was in my bath towel. I signed it less than 10mins and gave it back to her directly, same day. Like you didn't need to serve me. I asked!? But then I had to chase her for over 2 years for her to sign her signature. But she kept asking to meet "for dinner or lunch to discuss if this is what we really wanted" like...I was moved out, engaged, and living my dream but couldn't move forward until it was finalized.
Happy Valentines Day mamas! I really enjoyed reading ur comments X on this post thread! Thanks for sharing :)
@C so frustrating isn’t it . It’s all about control for them and then they realize after a while they look like a damn fool and eventually sign it.
I specifically said to my partner no proposal on any holidays (v-day, Christmas, birthdays etc). I get it if they're a special day for you as a couple aside from the holiday and I understand you're more than likely going to 'share' any date with other people in the world but I'd want something a bit more original and he definitely listened.
