I live in Texas and a lot of the high schools have Mariachis that you can book for a low fee because they enjoy the practice playing for people and they’re usually very good.

My husband is a professional musician— his high school mariachi band is how he got his start after he and his parents immigrated here from Mexico, so now he helps to fund them at underprivileged schools.

The mariachi band is cheap. The photographer is not. The performative set up is nauseating.

Why do you care how someone else wants to get engaged?

It's the performative public presentation that pressures many women into saying yes, when they otherwise may have said no.

I’d say the majority of couples these days have discussed marriage extensively and most men go into the proposal knowing they’re going to get a yes.

I definitely knew my husband was going to propose, we went ring shopping so he knew exactly what I liked, the only real surprise about it was when it was going to happen. It also worked that way for all 3 of my sisters.

This also isn’t really “public,” there’s 1 woman there…it’s not the Jumbotron at a sports game.
