Maybe I'm viewing things differently than how they actually are. So from how I see it, 20+ years ago, the guy would just pop the question, total surprise for his future fiancee.
With how things have changed socially now, is it now commonplace for a couple to discuss marriage prior to the actual proposal? Would they also discuss the ring, finances, family, etc prior as well? If so, then the modern day proposal isn't really a surprise to the bride-to-be, is it? Because if it's discussed prior, she knows what's coming. How would a guy make it a surprise?
I guess this is kind of a philosophical/social question, but I am curious of other viewpoints on it. I'm personally for discussing marriage prior, but I am wondering about how it all would pan out as the whole idea of a proposal is historically supposed to catch the woman off-guard.
