Answer 1: Any time that you know that you don't want to marry someone is the time that you should turn down their proposal.
Answer 2: No. If my mate proposed and I was not ready or just did not want to marry him, I would politely decline. If he publicly proposed, I would gracefully take him aside and tell him that I am not ready for marriage just yet.
I think some people say "yes" just because they don't want to embarrass the other person. Like in Professor's case, if his now fiance had said no in front of the whole church, he would have been totally embarrassed. The whole congregation would be giving him pity looks, pity hugs, and pity smiles for at least a good year.
I would rather have someone turn down my proposal then leave me at the altar. At least then, the only money that I've lost would be the cost of the ring, not the cost of the wedding.
