It’s a big deal to be in the right place with the right ambiance, and get down on one knee for the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. That’s why the sting of rejection of an engagement proposal can last a good lifetime. There’s always going to be a small risk involved that you actually might not be the one for whom you believe to be your true love. Yet, there’s always something you can do to approach the proposal in a way that your partner will find truly irresistible and fade away any doubts of tying the knot.
Take these 6 tips into consideration when it’s time to propose. They’re going to be a lot more helpful than just keeping your fingers crossed that your partner says yes!
Choose your wording: You need to know what you’re going to say while still staying in your comfort zone. Your words are going to be remembered forever, so choose them well, but speak truthfully from the heart as any fakeness will probably show through. Knowing what you’re going to say is important because your proposal might come out at a time that wasn’t expected, which leads us to the next point.
Choosing the right place: Don’t get too influenced by proposals in front of the Eiffel Tower or on top of a mountain. Any place could be the right place. You might plan it or be spontaneous. That’s why if you have your words ready, you’ll be able to make any location the right place for your proposal. Although it never hurts to choose a place that has sentimental value for both of you.
Get a ring: Everyone wants to see the ring, but what's more important is your future bride wants to show it off. Even if you’re not sure what her taste is and you don’t know that much about diamonds, rockher has a very impressive collection, as well as lots of advice and tips about diamond ring shopping. You can never go wrong with a simple choice, and it’s always advisable to consult her friends or family.
Say it: You might think it’s too cliché, but actually asking ‘will you marry me?’ is very much appreciated. It shows that you’re not taking a yes answer for granted since no one wants their love taken for granted.
Choose the right timing: A grieving period, or even just down with the flu, is probably not the best time to propose. Your common sense will choose the best time for both of you. Doing it at the right time of day also gives an effect with lighting and how many people are around.
Come groomed: Coming a bit more groomed than your normal, won’t hurt. This doesn’t mean a tux and tie, but clean and ironed clothes, trimmed beard or clean shaven are small things to notice before a proposal. Remember, this is a moment your partner will never forget!
Once in a lifetime
Make sure you’re marrying for the right reasons and not just because you’ve been together for a long time or because it seems as the only natural step to take. You should already have a very good idea of what your partner thinks of marriage and commitment. This will save you a lot of heartbreak of marrying a person who is wrong for you. If your relationship is based on a strong foundation, you can be sure your partner will say yes.
