Before a wedding can take place, someone first needs to propose. Typically, a man proposes to a woman. A traditional proposal should involve a man kneeling on one knee and a beautiful ring. Of course, in our day and age women can propose to men too. This can be just as romantic if done correctly. Sometimes two partners might also decide to get married without anyone proposing. They will simply sit down and have a long discussion at the end of which they might decide to tie the knot not only because they love one another and want to stay together forever but because of practical reasons too.
A discussion that leads to marriage might suit pragmatists - those who are guided in life not by ideals but by practical considerations. And while gender norms are indeed changing, it is still a rare occurrence to see a woman proposing to a man.
And let's be honest - most of us love the idea of being proposed to. A proposal doesn't have to involve white horses and hundreds of roses. But we do want a man to get down on his knee and we do want him to offer us a stunning ring. It doesn't necessarily have to be an expensive ring, as long as it is obvious that plenty of thought has gone into it.
