You are sure and want to finally propose to your loved one in a way she will never forget (because it was so good!). Your loved one has been imagining this day for ages and you want it to be everything she dreams of. Then you’d better be well prepared and avoid these 7 points so that you’re sure to get a “yes” from her!
1. you don’t have a ring
You get down on one knee in front of her to ask the question of all questions and you don’t have a ring? Because you didn’t know her size or her taste? Then you probably don’t realize the importance of the ring! Your sweetheart wants to shout your engagement to the world (or at least tell all her friends). How will she look without a ring?
The best way to find out the size of the ring is to use a template (link) from a ring she already owns. Or arrange with your trusted jeweler to have the ring exchanged or altered.
2. choose an ordinary day
Now you have the perfect ring, but you’re waiting at home until she gets home from work. In the worst case scenario, she’s still stressed because her colleague at work was absent again, she had to do all the work alone, then she was stuck in a traffic jam for half an hour and stepped in a puddle on the doorstep?
Better not, because this one day has to be something special! Take the whole day off, enjoy the day together and do something she enjoys. Enjoy your time together – after all, you want to spend the rest of your lives together.
3. your marriage proposal is nothing personal
Speaking of her, your proposal needs to be something very personal and tailored to your loved one. Have you seen a cool proposal with a flash mob on Instagram, but your girlfriend doesn’t like being the center of attention? Or you saw that guy who asked his girlfriend to marry him during a skydive, but your loved one is afraid of heights? Then better not…
No two people are the same, so every marriage proposal is something very personal and unique. Take time to think about what she likes, what flowers she likes, what music she likes to listen to, what places she dreams of. Also think about what you want to say during your proposal, because I can guarantee that you will be very nervous at this moment.
4. your loved one already knows
So you are now well prepared and have planned the perfect marriage proposal. You’re proud of your plan and naturally want her best friend to approve it. You’ve already shown her the ring too, just to be on the safe side. To put your plan into action, you will of course need helpers to prepare the picnic by the lake, bring the flowers, stand guard to make sure no one helps themselves, etc. STOP! Many people find it difficult to keep secrets to themselves and you don’t want someone to accidentally spill the beans about your surprise, do you?
5. you don’t get down on your knees
So you’ve spent a wonderful day together, the mood is perfect and the time has come for the question of all questions. Then it’s time to get down on one knee and ask her, ring in hand, to marry you. “Which knee do I have to get down on?” you may ask yourself. Traditionally, you get down on your left knee and hold the ring box in your left hand so that you can open it with your right. In practice, your new fiancée is unlikely to remember which knee you were on, but she will remember that you were on your knees!
6. you have no photos of your marriage proposal
So you’ve done it: congratulations on your engagement! But you’ve forgotten something very important, because your fiancée naturally wants to tell everyone about your perfect proposal and show them photos of it. Photos? There was something else. Make sure you take some photos together from the day of your engagement and at least after the engagement. You can ask other people if they can take some photos. Or even better, organize a professional photographer to capture this unforgettable moment for you in the background.
7. you haven’t planned anything after the proposal
Of course you have to celebrate this moment! Celebrate? You only have a plan until the proposal? Too bad, because just going home and spending the evening in front of the TV is probably not the right thing to do now.
Organize something for after the proposal, go out for dinner together, toast your engagement and book an overnight stay in a great hotel. This day is unique and should be rounded off in style.
