Marriage Proposal and Being Fat

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

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
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

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 -

At the time of the proposal? No.
At the time of wedding pictures? Yes. In fact, that's why I'm here.1 -
Isn't it good if when you get proposed you are at your worst possible shape and you still get proposed?
That means he/she has looked beyond the physical aspect. Propose them back!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.
I mean ... Do you often stand in vats of raw sewage?4 -
To me a proposal is not a public event. My proposal wasn't on YouTube (or wouldn't have been if YouTube had been around then. ) We were in 90 degree weather, had been walking around all day, and he popped the question at a certain spot that he thought was cute. It was over 30 years ago and I remember it, but for the life of me I could not tell you how I was dressed or what my hair looked like. But I can tell you how I felt. (I'm smiling now.)11

my husband and i got married at my heaviest weight of my life, and you know what? we're still together, still in love and my weight when he proposed and when we got married didn't change that. there's so much more to our relationship.
btw, i never stand in vats of raw sewage6 -

Breastfed babies have a tendency to not go for days and then suddenly go all Mt. Vesuvius at the most inopportune times. So, yeah, it's happened.7 -
I cant say that how I look would be the first thing on my mind when getting proposed to, but I'd for sure prefer to look back on the moment and feel good about all of it (including how I looked). Though, I think its all very personal, some people are most comfortable in sweats and make-up free lounging around with their partners. I, on the other hand, enjoy throwing on a nice sundress and maybe some lip stain even if we wont be leaving the house...0

I was less worried about the proposal and now am more worried about my actual wedding day. Is it important to me? Yes, but I value my health and want to look and feel my best. Is it important to him? Absolutely not. I wouldn't be marrying him if my weight dictated getting married or not. He loves me for me.

Is your boyfriend planning on popping the question soon or is this just a long off thought that popped into your head?0
