Make sure she says YES with these proposal ideas and stories
Will you marry me? Such a simple question, how to pop that question is where it gets tricky. Find out how to make sure the answer is yes! And what about the ring? Find some perfect engagement rings to pick from and ideas on unique engagement presents.
Wedding Proposal Ideas:
- Go back to the first place you met, or went on a date.
- Book in to an exclusive restaurant.
- Tacky, but fun, get a waiter to put the ring on the dessert platter or in a glass of sparkling wine or champagne.
- New Year's Eve also provides a romantic setting with a kiss at midnight. Why not start the new year off as an engaged couple? Propose during the fireworks display.
- Organise a romantic picnic at the beach, in a park or some other forever favourite place.
- Surprise her with a pamper day before proposing
The Ring
- Engagement rings are popularly set with a diamond ring.
- If you have an heirloom ring handed down from generation to generation (or maybe just one generation from your mum or grandmother) you can choose to use this for the proposal. If your bride loves the sentiment of the heirloom ring she will wear this as the engagement ring, however she may want a more current ring to wear everyday and keep the vintage piece for another finger. Propose with the vintage ring and offer her the choice if you are proposing in secret.
- You may also like to add some more meaning to the ring by adding the bride's birthstone to the setting, and possibly the groom's birthstone.
- If the bride-to-be has chosen the ring herself, or just if you know she'll love the ring, get it engraved. Have a romantic quote, or your initials and her initials engraved into the ring.
