"I love my fiancée so much that I proposed to her twice. It wasn't because I didn't believe my lover - who is admittedly far out of my league - the first time she said yes, nor was it my pesky perfectionism rearing its demanding head because not every detail went according to plan. Rather, certain aspects of our engagement didn't quite meet our expectations."
"Seeing the pain behind my eyes while looking at the photographs from that otherwise special day eventually became too much to bear. As the weeks passed, I kept feeling that we deserved another special day, one completely focused on our love, without a damper from self-consciousness or unsupportive connections. So, I planned a second proposal about two years after the first."
"This time around, the proposal day was even more magical I felt inspired as I planned another proposal to my fiancée. In the two or so years since the first engagement, we'd eliminated a lot of the stressors that had been holding us back. For one, I'd lost a significant amount of weight and was mentally in a much better place. Now, I had a chance to profess my undying love for the woman of my dreams again, this time unbothered by others' opinion"
He proposed to his fiancée twice to create a more joyful, focused engagement. The first proposal included meaningful elements—New York location, a rose-gold ring, and a violinist—yet was undermined by emotionally unsupportive people and the proposer's poor mental and physical health. Seeing pain in engagement photographs prompted a desire for a new memory centered only on their love. About two years later he planned a second proposal after losing weight and improving his mental state. The second proposal felt more magical, removed earlier stressors, and allowed an unburdened expression of commitment and excitement to marry.
