A marriage proposal made in public can leave indelible marks, but for the future bride, the moment can be delicate. Decryption.
A knee bend, a ring and an audience, marriage proposal scenes inspired by American romantic comedies. This ritual has arrived in France, but for those who experienced it, it is not always a good memory. Claire experienced this despite herself last June. At the end of a show, her companion proposed to her in front of the audience. “It’s a huge pressure, I’m not feeling well, it’s a huge awkwardness. (…) You feel like you can’t say anything other than ‘yes’“, she says.
A lack of consideration
Public requests widely repeated on social networks, which sometimes result in general embarrassment. Such a request can sometimes reveal a lack of consideration. “It is often felt to be extremely violent for the other, so it also indicates a lack of listening to the other, and perhaps a little arrogance too.”analyzes Sophie Cadalen, psychoanalyst.
