Hopefully, proposing to your girlfriend is something you’ll only get to do once! Hopefully!!! Increase your chances to make that so by reading these tips on how to propose to your girlfriend.
1. Like all good lawyers, only ask the question if you know the answer! If you think there’s a good chance she’ll say “no” then she probably will! You obviously haven’t given your courtship long enough!
2. If you’re considering risking everything and proposing publicly ie at a ball game or in front of her family, then make sure you’re extra certain she’ll say yes! Otherwise you risk turning your happy occasion into the most humiliating experience of your life!
3. You must surprise her! Don’t let her see any of your plans, if you need to let others in on it to help plan things, make sure you can trust them to keep quiet!
4. If you’ve got your proposal idea from the internet, a book or from someone you know, then make sure you personalize it to your own experiences! Never carbon copy a proposal!
5. Always take a knee! It’s old, corny and cliche but its how she always imagined her proposal would be since she was a little girl so don’t disappoint her!
6. Guard the ring! Don’t risk losing it in some elaborate engagement scheme by burying it in sand or giving it to the Dog to deliver to her! It’s not worth it!
7. Keep good eye contact! She’ll know that you mean it this way and also show confidence which she’ll find attractive!
8. Ambiance is the key to a good proposal! Most girls would take roses, music, food and candles over a huge ordeal in public!
9. Timing! If you would like a long proposal then propose in the spring! You could go for a spring wedding the following year! If you propose in the winter then it could be a very short engagement before you tie the knot!
10. Just relax! It’ll go fine just as long as everything is planned like a military operation! This is your big moment, good luck!
Before taking a look at the following romantic marriage proposals, I have to insist that you don’t simply copy any idea you read word for word, but to improve upon it and above all make it personal to your own relationship!
That being said, I hope these romantic marriage proposals give you inspiration for when your lady’s big moment arrives.
1. Arrange for a day at the spa for the two of you then change into your best outfits before heading off to a photo shoot. While you’re being photographed go down on one knee and propose. You’ll have the moment forever. After, you can go for a nice meal followed by a night at a 5 star hotel.
2. Rent a suit of armour and a horse. Arrange to meet your girl in the park at lunchtime and arrive a few minutes late on horseback donning the armour. Then offer to be her prince! A friend could be around to play Holsts “Jupiter” as you arrive!
3. Hire a limo and pick her up from work. Hand her a red rose and have her best outfit to hand. Drive down to the best restaurant in town and have them serve you in the limo. Play romantic music and propose for desert.
4. Try recreating your first ever date! Take a walk past the spot where you met. Go for a picnic and eat the first meal you ever cooked for her while listening to your first ever song! She will love the fact that you’ve remembered all the little things.
5. Scope out an idyllic spot which is unfamiliar to her perhaps near a lake or river. Have her arrive blindfolded and when you uncover her eyes, have a picnic set up! You could hide some champagne in the water and propose to your special song.
6. Create a candlelit path leading up her drive and into her house. It could lead her into her bedroom where she’ll find you down on one knee with a ring in your hand.
7. Go for a meal at a nice restaurant and surprise her by being collected in a horse drawn carriage. Drink champagne while you’re riding around and propose to her while you’re cuddling under the stars!
The best engagement proposal ideas are always the ones which are unique and special to the couple involved! So if you take an idea from the web or a magazine, you need to personalize it to you and your lady!
I hope you get some inspiration from some of my best engagement ideas!
1. Why not have an instant wedding? You’ll need to be extra sure she’ll say yes though! The laws in Hawaii are lenient and will allow for it, though you’ll need to make the plans with a good hotel and the tourist board. When she says yes, maybe at dinner or on the beach, start the wedding at once!
2. Buy her three red roses. The first represents the past, the second the present and the final rose which has the ring tied to it is the future!
3. Arrange to go to a luxury spa for the full treatment followed by a private photo shoot in your best outfits. During the shoot go down on one knee and propose, you’ll have the photos forever! Then go to a top restaurant followed by a night at a luxury hotel!
4. Arrange to meet your lady in the park at lunch time! Arrive a few minutes late wearing a suit of armour and riding a horse. Have a nearby friend in some bushes playing Holsts “Jupiter” as you arrive! Swing from the horse and offer to be her prince!
5. Rent a limousine and pick her up from work. Present her with a rose and her favourite outfit and drive to a fancy restaurant where you’ve arranged to have them serve you in the limo. Have romantic music playing with the privacy window up and propose over champagne.
6. Go for a walk past the location where you first met. Eat the first meal you ever made for her where you had your first ever picnic. Propose while listening to your first every song!
7. Take her blindfolded to an idyllic location you’ve already scoped out, preferably by a river or lake! Release the blindfold for her to find you have set up a nice picnic. You could hide a bottle of champagne in the water.
