do you know many women asking for marriage? We present to you two Vibra Girls who broke stereotypes and decided to be the ones who made this exciting proposal their partner.
Throughout the history of mankind, love and marriage had been two things that had nothing to do with each other; the former was related more to economics and social convenience, while the latter was considered a passion of youth and/or adultery. Today societies have changed and a marital union without love is unthinkable.
However, not everything has changed and the tradition that it is the man who asks for her hand still endures and it is a custom that very few people dare to transgress. Although few women have done it, it no longer has to be taboo; An example of this was the singer P!nk, who in 2005 proposed to her current partner, motocross pro Carey Hart. But let’s not lie to ourselves, it is something unusual.
Bradford Wilcox, associate professor of sociology and director of the National Project on Marriage at the University of Virginia, explained to the New York Times that men are socially expected to do so as a public statement of their level of commitment with the relationship. “Having him ask for her hand in marriage is a way of signaling to her, to her friends and her family, that he is serious and ready for a future with her,” he said. Our culture has taught us that such work is masculine.
Women who ask for marriage break stereotypes in Vibra
Although it should no longer be a taboo, a study carried out with students at the University of California in Santa Cruz (USA) revealed that not one of the participants (between men and women) wanted the woman to be the one who did the marriage proposal. On the other hand, according to 2019 data from the American jewelry store The Knot, specialized in weddings, only 5 percent of those who buy rings are women.
So we found two Vibra girls determined to break this stereotype. We colluded with Yenny Marcela López and Jeimy Geraldine Pandiño to offer their partners a romantic dinner in a luxurious restaurant and instead of dessert… a ring arrived! Yenny made the proposal to her boyfriend Jhon Edwin Palacios and Geraldine to her girlfriend, Julietle Bermúdez. How did she do? Look…
They they trusted Vibra and they were able to make their dreams come true. Tell us, Would you be able to be the one to propose marriage instead of the man?
