Proposing in Poland?

What is expected of a man who wishes to propose to a lady in Poland? Are they the same as in the US? IE a big ring, asking her father first, getting on one knee?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Matt,

First of all, congratulations! smile Second, I think it depends on the family. If they are very conservative, getting on one knee and asking the father first would be appropriate. However, most Polish families are not very conservative anymore so you should be safe smile. Nowadays, I feel, young people tend to do it between themselves first and then they announce it to the family. But if she's close to her family, it might be a good idea to prepare a good dinner and propose. I suggest Sunday as Sunday is a holy day for Polish people and any other day might not be so well received.

Of course, it is very nice (I'd say very recommended) that you get on your knee and grand her a ring. It doesn't have to be "big" - I don't think the size matterssmile.

I may come up with other comments maybe later. Maybe other members have other ideas or thoughts.

Haha! Good one -- didn't think about it smile. If she's Polish I'm sure she can cook very well though. I'm dating a Polish girl and this will be her last "exam" before I go on my knees smile. Kidding...

But a good bottle of vodka or wine and talk to the father first. After a couple of shots you'll be in a good mood and the father will be the first to give his daughter to you smile.

Getting down on your knee? I know many Polish married women and none of them actually experienced such performance. All of them got married recently and for all of them the proposal happened between the two with announcing the happy news to the family.

About "holy day", only in very religious families, which are in extinction now (at least among those Poles I know, most of them from cities in western Poland).

Flowers, ring, romance - choose what matches your personality and the character of your relationship. If you come up with something original, she'll surely appreciate it.

Make her happy, that's all that really matters!
