Do you feels it's important to look and feel your best when your significant other proposes marriage to you?

No.
I feel it's important to look and feel my best for my own peace of mind though.6 -

If they propose marriage then they must feel as though you are the best for them, just the way you are!28 -
No. While I am working toward being healthier and happier in my own skin, I wouldn't allow the fact that I'm not there yet interfere with my enjoyment of life.5

Well I wouldn't want to do it while standing in a vat of raw sewage but the fact that somebody was asking me to marry him would make me feel pretty good on its own. Of course, I think that out-of-the-blue proposals are silly and that people should discuss getting married before actually getting engaged.
Are you talking about waiting to lose weight/get in shape before getting engaged or are you talking about being dressed up or what? This is a vague question.11 -

How do you know when someone's about to propose to you? By the time they're on one knee it's a bit odd to go do a few push ups
Pretty sure I would feel my best, or at least feel bloody amazing, if my partner proposed marriage to commit to a life together. And honestly, I couldn't care less if he was in sweatpants and I was in pyjamas slumming on the couch.10 -

Absolutely not.1

Both...but mainly the former. You're totally right, though. Just having someone propose would be amazing.1 -

I depends on what is important to you. It isn't important to me but some people treat the proposal like a big production or photoshoot occasion. Are you planning to do that? If you are worrying more about your appearance than thinking about the rest of the marriage that probably isn't a good sign.
My dh and I were sitting in my bedroom and kind of just casually mutually proposed. I may have been in my pj's. I was not wearing makeup. I have no idea what dh was wearing. It wasn't planned. We had been going out for a month and had known each other for 3 months. No one else was there. There are no photos. I got a ring a month later. It really isn't important in the grand scheme of life what we looked like at that moment or that it wasn't a big production. We loved each other and have been married for 16 years now.14 -
What could I expect? I weighed 270 when I proposed.1
-
Nope. My first was in a dive bar, second was while I just woke up with my hair a mess, unbrushed teeth, etc.4

Honestly looking back I wish I hadn't been so overweight when we got engaged (and obese when we got married). When I look at our wedding pictures I look terrible and its fairly stressful now that I've lost most of the weight trying to figure out if they can even resize my very expensive wedding set appropriately

So get new ones made.0 -

This answer made me smile! Thank you.

If there is a photographer involved I would hope my hair is brushed at least.1

Honestly if I was being proposed to I'd probably be so shocked I'd throw up everywhere and being fat would be the last thing on my mind after that.5

If you losing weight/getting in shape is something you want to do for yourself, then go for it. But there is absolutely no reason to postpone an engagement or wedding for that. Just be excited about making that commitment with someone you love.1

No...when my husband proposed I was at a weight I hated.
But at that moment, no matter your weight, you are going to feel your absolute best. At the moment my husband asked me to be his wife I felt amazing, bc the love of my life just asked me to spend mine with him!
Don't worry about how you look, or your weight, or anything else. Just soak everything in and remember every moment of it!4 -
My fiance proposed on Friday, during a hike, it was 90 degrees- I was a complete sweaty mess! Lol8

Looool. Can you imagine?
Darling, I love you with all my heart and it would make me the happiest man in all the world if you could...DROP AND GIVE ME 20!!

i previously told my boyfriend of almost 3 years not to propose to me until i felt confident about myself again... we are in no rush and i want to be able to look back at all the pictures and memories that go along with a proposal down the road and not be depressed about how i looked/felt about myself then. sure it may seem petty, but i know that i will be happier this way.2

No, of course not.
Much better to be loved for who you are, then work on your body to get it how you want, right? And to work together to keep in shape for each other. Not to have some peak of fitness right at the beginning, then go downhill. Be good for each other, better together.
I would go so far as to say any guy waiting for you to hit some perfect weight before he proposes is probably not someone you want to marry.3 -
It's the long term relationship and what it entails that matters in the end. Not what you were wearing or how your hair was done or whether your fiance asked you in a romantic way. This is somebody who you are going to be plunging toilets with and suffering through stomach flus with and possibly dealing with tiny humans' various leakages with in the coming years. Not everything has to be shiny and pretty and glamorous to make it worth it.8

To me, it would be far more important to feel good on my wedding day about my weight.3

No, of course not.

Thanks for this...and I totally agree. I know he loves me for who I am and that my weight has no bearing on his love for me. I just want to feel like I'm at my best because I truly feel that he deserves it. We both deserve it.0
