How To Make Your Proposal Truly Special

If you’re thinking about popping the question, then you want to make sure that you get it right. There are very few more important questions that you’re going to ask in your entire life, after all. As such, you might want to go above and beyond, heightening the occasion to create a truly unforgettable moment, not to mention increasing your chances of getting the answer you want to hear.

Choose A Place With Real Meaning

First of all, you should really think about what might make the best location for your proposal. Typically, this is the one that holds the most sentimental value. A lot of people choose places such as where they first met or had their first date, but you don’t necessarily have to pick from the past. You can also choose a dream location that your partner has always wanted to visit, such as going overseas. It can add a sense of adventure and romance to the trip that makes it just perfect for popping the question.

Make It Truly Bespoke

Picking out the right ring is a big part of making your proposal perfect. If you know your partner’s taste, or even get a little help in choosing the right one, then they’ll gladly show off the newfound symbol of your dedication to each other. However, you can go even further, opting to work with custom engagement ring designers who ensure every detail is right. Showing up with a ring that reflects their personality, style, and perhaps even incorporates some meaningful shared memories or symbols can bring a level of sentimentality that a ring doesn’t normally offer.

Plan What You’re Going To Say

You might think that it’s easy to summon up the words to describe how you love your partner, and to make the question specific to them. However, you might be surprised how tongue-tied you find yourself during the big moment. You don’t necessarily have to memorize a whole speech, but take the time beforehand to really think about what you want to say in your proposal. From why you love them to the moment that you knew you wanted to spend the rest of your life with them, keep your declaration authentic by practicing saying it in front of the mirror at least once.

Capture The Moment

Documenting your proposal can help preserve one of the most important memories of your life. Hire a professional photographer or videographer who can stay hidden until the moment or use a friend with a good camera to capture the scene. If your partner is more of a private person, then you might want to use more discreet devices, such as a GoPro or a drone, and watch over the footage together before deciding whether you want ot share it with others or not.

With the tips above, you can make your proposal a moment that neither of you will ever forget, kicking off the journey towards marriage in a way that your partner will be telling stories about years from now.
