The whole thing seems a waste of money. The propose in a fancy restaurant with an expensive ring, the wedding dress that is only used once, the marriage ceremony with lots of obscure people, and so on. Maybe for the rich people, but for average people, they could really save the money and use it for something more useful.
We never had a proposal, in fact someone asked us once how my husband proposed and we looked with a blank stare as we just sort of decided together and had no idea exactly when. We also eloped and I had a normal dress and bought the cheapest rings available, $20 each if I remember right. I was a 3rd generation eloper and no divorces.
