I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks about the perfect proposal. Forget about how you look when you walk down the aisle. Or, whether your guests enjoy themselves at the reception. The dream wedding starts with the perfect proposal. Don’t forget, unless you’re proposed to the right way; you’re not going to say yes. Sure, a proposal isn’t everything if you love the person, you’re with. You might say yes even if they just say “shall we just get married,” one day. But the proposal is still important. It says a lot about the person who you might be about to married to. For instance, you might have dropped a few hints about how you’d like to be proposed to over the years. If they use them, you’ll know they listened, and it meant enough that they remember. They may also choose a way to propose that shows they know you. But personally, I’ve got my own ideas for my dream proposal.
On Holiday
In my humble and perhaps over expectant opinion, a proposal should be an event in itself. Forget about the honeymoon; I want to go on holiday when the guy pops the question. I’d love to be whisked away to an exotic location. Then, in an enchanting restaurant in Paris, or a tropical beach in Hawaii, he can ask me to marry him. Just so you know, this doesn’t mean I’m giving up the honeymoon. But the honeymoon could be a smaller weekend getaway. If you think about it, honeymoons are quite depressing. I know, they’re supposed to be wonderful. But once you get back everything returns to normal. Immediately, it can feel like the romance has gone. That’s why I don’t think you should build up the honeymoon as an amazing event.
You Don’t Need The Ring
I don’t need the guy to have the ring when he proposes. If he has the sentiment and the right words, he’ll steal my heart without it. Again, I’m not saying I don’t want an engagement ring. Of course, I do! But, if he doesn’t propose with one, that gives me a chance to choose it myself and look at a few engagement rings. I’m sure; there are some people who think this is a little bit of a cheat. Surely, if a guy knows you, he should know what type of ring you want? Well, yes but guys typically are clueless when it comes to jewellery. Since it’s something that you’re going to be wearing for the rest of your life, you do want it to be amazing. I see no harm in picking it yourself.
Surprise
I know friends who knew exactly when they were going to get that special proposal. Either they found it in the guy’s phone diary, or they planned it for a special day. That’s why I don’t want to get my proposal on Christmas day, New Year’s Eve or an anniversary. Then, you’ll start to count down. It’s been three years? This should be the one! You get the disappointment when it isn’t. It’s much better for it to be completely spontaneous.
I hope you have found my ideas for popping the question interesting. When you’re proposed to; I bet it is a dream come true.
