I’ve also heard horror stories of people who’ve said yes in public, just to not embarrass the person in public, then have to deal with the fallout later when they privately say no later.
Totally agreed. I hate public proposals. The guy must be insecure thinking she won’t want to embarrass him by saying no so she’ll say yes so he won’t feel humiliated publicly if she says no. But later on she’ll be honest with him and refuse him.
Really, guys, make this personal and private. The marriage will be private, so make the proposal private too.
Never, never, ever propose in a restaurant; or any other public place. It places unfair pressure on other person to say yes.
^ This!

Or maybe because they think it’s traditional.
