How to: Proposal

Proposing to the love of your life can be a very exciting but nerve-wracking experience. In order to make this moment one that you will both cherish forever, here are a few how to: proposal tips.

1. Plan ahead.  Waiting until the last minute to plan your marriage proposal could cause unnecessary stress and the likelihood of plans falling through can become greater.  Start planning in advance how you would like your proposal to go.  It’s important to think about all the little details, such as the exact date, the time of day, transportation, reservations and exactly how you are going to pop the question.  If you make plans well in advance, remember to secure your reservation and review the schedule of your day a couple days before your proposal.  It never hurts to be overly confident in your plans.

2. Get a ring.  One important component for every marriage proposal is a beautiful engagement ring.  Think about your loved one’s personal preferences, consult their family and friends or even bring them along to the jewelry store to see which rings they like.

3. Make it personal.  A marriage proposal is a very intimate event, so it should be personalized for the special someone you are proposing to.  Whether your sweetheart is the romantic or the adventurous type, your proposal should perfectly suit their personality.  To make the moment even more memorable, customize your proposal by adding personal touches to it.  Incorporate photos of the two of you or mementos that remind your loved one of the amazing memories you’ve made together.
