The story of how you proposed will hopefully be told to friends and strangers for the rest of your lives, so make it a good one!
Women often say that the second they realize what is happening they get so overwhelmed with emotion they forget everything he said. To ensure that the memories of why you love her and want to marry her are captured forever, try incorporating a personal keepsake into your proposal and find a way to capture the moment.
When you spend a lot of time planning a proposal, you want to make sure to remember every detail of the big day. If you want the best pictures possible, engage a professional photographer. If you are happy with the photographers work, you can then also engage him or her for your wedding photography, giving you peace of mind that everything will be captured the way you like it.
The best proposals are the ones that have special meaning for the two of you. To get you thinking of how best to go about it, here are some ideas for you to start from...
USEFUL PROPOSAL TIPS
- Make sure you capture the perfect memory of your proposal on camera.
- Make sure your love feels and looks her best for the big day. Make an excuse for her to dress up without revealing your plan.
- Part of the excitement of getting engaged is the surprise of the proposal. Make sure none of your friends and family involved in the event will give the surprise away.
- If you don't want your family and friends there for the entire proposal, find a way to keep them present but not crowding around when you propose.
- When travelling to a special location, take care of the ring. If you’re flying, take it in carry-on, but not in your pocket, as the metal detectors will go off and spoil the surprise.
- If you propose on Tamborine Mountain, take into consideration that the evenings can be breezy and cool, so have her pack a jumper - you don't want her to be more focused on how cold she is than on you.
- Wear her favourite shirt of yours, or dress to coordinate with her outfit for pictures.
- You can use the proposal photos on your invitation for your upcoming wedding invitations
- Instead of proposing at the end of the night, after all the activities you planned, start off with the proposal and then enjoy an evening filled with romantic events. That way, you won't be nervous all night.
- Whatever you do, don't read your proposal. You must look into her eyes and talk from the heart. If you are really nervous, jot down some key phrases or things you want to mention on a "cheat sheet". Speak slowly and don't forget to breathe.
- If you are ‘old school’ and asked her parents for their blessing beforehand, try to capture that moment and show her. If she has children (from a previous marriage), ask them as well.
