History and Significance of Propose Day.
There are multiple stories related to the history of Propose Day. It is reported that in 1477, Austrian Archduke Maximilian expressed his feelings for Mary of Burgundy by gifting her a diamond ring. One such story dates back to 1816, when Princess Charlotte proposed to her eventual life partner.

This month is called Love Month.
Why do people propose on their knees.
Proposing on one knee is a tradition rooted in medieval chivalry, where knights knelt before their lords or loved ones as a sign of loyalty and devotion. It symbolizes respect, humility, and deep commitment. The gesture also has religious and ceremonial significance, representing reverence and sincerity. Over time, literature, art, and movies reinforced it as a romantic custom. Kneeling makes the proposal visually powerful, showing vulnerability and the act of offering one’s love. While widely practiced, some modern couples choose alternative ways to propose, making the moment unique to their relationship and personal values.
