You’ve decide that the time is upon you and your ready for a life time commitment. You have the ring all ready and burning a hole in your sock drawer, and now the nerve provoking issue has dawned on you, the proposal.
Now this is the beginning of a lifetime of memories, and one that will always come rushing back to you and your partner in those moments of nostalgia. So, this proposal needs to be a memory that will lighten the heart , a proposal that will evoke the love and feelings you share with your partner and if successful make their eyes brighten, a laugh flatter their face and maybe even a small tear or two.
Now to decide how to do it, where to do it and when to do it, are the questions that are bound to have occurred to you and unfortunately, terrifying as it is this is all down to you, the answers to these questions will be personal to you. Is your partner the traditionalist that would want the table lit dinner at a posh restaurant, or would she want something even more personal. Its a good idea for these to think about some of the most significant times of your relationship, your first date, first kiss, life time aspirations and plans you made together maybe to go watch the sun set on the beach on the anniversary of your first date or even a night tickets to see the artist of ‘your song’. Whatever it is it needs to scream “I love you, I need you and I want ‘this’, ‘us’ forever”.
Secrecy is always the best policy, it’s inevitable that the more people you tell, no matter how excited you are its bound to get out, and this could put a downer on things before it’s even began, besides who needs that extra pressure, especially if you need time to gather some socks for those cold feet. But there’s one person that could possibly need to know, have you considered asking for the fathers hand in marriage? These little things add up to big brownie points!
