i dont know if
i understand the question

he bought her a ring
was willing to settle down in
san angel just for her

his way of going about it
probably wasnt the best
its not like i was there to see it
but i think it was at a party
in front of everyone in town

so
yes
that was a thing he did

who is topol?
why he is about to kill himself?

well anyway its true that joaquin
is the more traditional
out of the three of us

honestly it didnt even occur to me
to propose to maria until
joaquin did it first
but it wasnt much of a proposal
compared to his
no ring, i didnt even outright
ask her to marry me
i just wanted her to know
i would love her no matter what
she chose to do with her life

joaquin on the other hand
he is very amibitious
does whatever he sets his mind to
at the same time he is very sensitive to
other peoples expectations of him
he hates disappointing those he respects
and marias father, the general
was very open about wanting joaquin as a son-in-law

i dont know other views of marriage
to compare it to but
its something most people did
either for love or other reasons

generally speaking
if you ate ice cream with someone
outside of wedlock
it was expected that you would
get married to that person
maybe not right away
but soon enough
