surprise proposal
Unplanned marriage question
A surprise proposal is a marriage proposal where one partner asks without the other expecting it at that moment—often staged in a memorable location or during a special occasion.
The surprise is in the timing and setting, not the relationship's direction; most successful ones happen when both partners have discussed marriage beforehand.
