#CovidProposals: 3 Couples who Defied the Pandemic with Creative Proposal Ideas

Desperate times call for desperate measures, right? And the COVID-19 pandemic has ensured that everything that we took for granted or otherwise thought to be normal, is now a luxury! Especially when it comes to planning a wedding or even a proposal.

Yes, currently with all the chaos and the world in a lockdown situation, many weddings have been delayed, postponed and some, unfortunately, have been cancelled. With social distancing as the new norm, couples are also faced with separation anxiety. They aren’t allowed to meet one and another if they happen to live separately. This means some who had planned their dream proposal for their lady love have had to shelve the idea too.

But some couples got lucky, i.e., their better halves decided to seize the moment and go ahead with the proposal anyway! Seems legit, right? We are facing a pandemic and who knows when things would go back to being normal or will normal be the same? So, why not seal the deal and at least make sure you spend the rest of your life with the one you love dearly!

To add some cheer to our otherwise mundane life in lockdown, scroll down to take a look at these proposals:
