A person only has to do what he is comfortable with. Question? do these people know each other well enough to even get married. If they did, kneeling or not kneeling wouldn't have been a point of contention.

This is what happens when an African tries to be European, what’s the meaning of proposing to a woman with a ring as an African?

The woman does not love him but needed him.
This guy dodged hollow point bullet and escaped a lifetime of arguments and argony with this woman.
I hope he went back and ate that cake on the table.

The foolish friends of the man fueled the fire by telling their friend to agree to the lady's request, the lady too thinks the guy's friends supported her so she starts raising her voice!

White guy kneeling before women and begging for acceptance is a European thing because of your small pricks and un-African.
The guy should've buy some goats and drinks and have his family accompany him to the girl's parents house for a proper traditional knocking.
Still, he dodged a bullet with this agenda babe.

She will find out later that "kneeling" is just tic-toc optics and real life comes after the wedding. The quality of a man and his ability take care of and love his wife and family have nothing to do with his willingness to propose on his "knees" or "legs". That should be the last thing that "matters".

When I married my wife so many years ago, we had the traditional marriage ceremony and the "white" wedding a week apart. After the traditional ceremony, we decided to do some photo shoots before the church wedding because that was what was creeping into our Ghanaian system.

In one of the photo shoot sessions, my wife told me to take the ring I put on her finger during the traditional ceremony, kneel and pretend like I am proposing to her for the first time for the shot. I told her that wouldn't happen in any way, shape or form. We are still married with two kids and going on.

The guy wanted to propose without kneeling. The lady wants him to propose while kneeling. None of them is wrong. However, if they can't agree on something which is not an African thing, they are better off finding me partners because marriage is not child's play unless "forever and ever, till death do us part" is not what they want.

BUT THIS WAS NEVER A CULTURE, TRADITION OR WAY OF "DOING" LOVE. PLEASE LET THE YOUNG ONES KNOW THAT THIS IS A WESTERN THING. NEVER AFRICAN. TEACH THE CHILDREN TO DO THE RIGHT THING, RATHER THAN FOLLOWING THINGS BLINDLY. OUR ARENTS NEVER DID THAT, WE DID NOT DO THIS, BUT MARRIAGES SURVIVED FOR DECAEDS UNTIL DEATH DO OR DID US PART. GO TO THE WEST AND CHECK THE RATE OF DIVORCE WHICH ALL HAPPENED AFTER KNEELING TO PROPOSE.
SAD AND SHAMEFUL AT THE SAME TIME. STOP AND DROP THAT WESTERN CULTURE, NEVER AFRICAN.

A man kneeling to propose to a lady is not African and never a part of African Culture. I have always been against that act and see it as belittling a man. As Africans who value our culture and religion as far as the act is not a part of our tradition I would continue to oppose it. A woman rather kneels for a man as a husband.

Men who do so do that for the cameras , the decorations and the atmosphere surrounding the place should speak a volumes of respect and love high esteem he holds the lady.
In African settings people don't even don't accept kneeling when you wrong them let alone girlfriend

Marriage is cultural and proposal of whatever form does not sustain it.
Which race or culture stipulates that a man should kneel before a woman during proposal. In real sense of the act and its aftermath, it is the man who honours the woman at this juncture and there the woman must kneel down to receive the honour and not the otherwise
Can't imagine a scenario where the President of a nation kneels in presenting awards to awardees

To all those ladies receiving proposals of guys being to proud to go this step: Resist! Reject!

Love should be proven. Obviously the L-word is the worldwide most abused word ever.

THIS MADNESS MUST STOP

First of all, kneeling to propose is a foreign culture. We Africans don't have kneel. If some have done it, we shouldn't use that a the main step to propose. It's absolute madness and nonsense.

What stupidity is that? Kneel for what ? She go away with her witchcraft. I don't know where they are learning these nonsense from. Some old over used prostitute asking an unfortunate man to kneel and propose.

Guys, this is not about your pride, you "being a man" (what ever this means...) and all this nonsense, no - this is about how SHE feels, how to make HER happy, how to conquer HER. Sorry to be straight, but when you dont understand this, then you did not understand anything...

Food on the table is one thing, feeding her is fine, but this is not about business, this is not about a "contract" - this is about SHE needs to be sure you are the right one to live with. When you are not ready to fulfill her little wishes, then what about bigger ones later. Be ready to look UP to her, not down on her. Then you can propose...

Congrats to the lady. It takes heart and courage and strength to reject him and leave the scene. Well done. Someone better will come for you...
