Cool, within that [same] snopes response to why it was saying false:
"Where did the tradition of getting down upon’s one knee to propose marriage come from, then? No definitive historical explanation exists, but as many sources have posited, the practice is likely related to customs involving kneeling as a demonstrative act of both supplication and respect, two aspects that a spouse-to-be would likely do well to exhibit to a potential mate"
While its not definitive as a historical truth because of no known documents are established that is the case, it's still posited as a possibility. Which is exactly where most of our slang comes from, probable explanations to explain things.
However, i'm not disagreeing and I thank you for that response, I learned something so therefor thank you.
