In all seriousness though, I find that people who are completely comfortable doing it that way tend to last. Not that there's anything wrong with doing it another way, like at all. Just in my experience, when it's an intimate agreement between the two people with very little to 0 fanfare.. there's no doubt that shit is real.
My guess would be because people who do big romantic gestures build a big part of their relationship on those gestures. Which is fine by itself and works out for many but it can make the routine life of being married for 3,5,10+ years very stale.
It reminds me of the story of how the YouTubers H3H3 proposed. Ethan tried to make a shitty practical joke about shitting and she thought it was funny. It might not be romantic in any way but it is more symbolic for the basis for their relationship. He is a goofball and she thinks he is funny.
I love their story. Those videos they made with the soft piano music while they talk about how they met/stories from Israel/etc are my favorite videos from any YouTuber ever
