Although tradition is no longer what it used to be (we’ll be there soon!), the truth is that, traditionally, it is the groom who kneels before the beloved woman and asks the famous question that will take her to the altar. So now we are going to talk to you, who are preparing the moment that will take his heart, so that he can mentally review his entire plan and make sure that it will be perfect. And if you still haven’t had a great idea, that makes the cobblestones cry, here we are too to help you outline your plan with the right tips.
1. A “yes” is expected…
… right? Therefore, never – but never! – Forget about her personality, what he likes to do and the smallest things he enjoys. It is not at a time like this, for example, that she will find grace in a crowd bath, when she has always felt more comfortable surrounded by a calm and intimate environment.
2. The surprise factor!
If she imagines that a marriage proposal is waiting for her, the emotions that invade her will not have the same relevance. And for you, the answer will not have the same impact. So be patient… The right moment will come and sometimes associated with “it’s now or never!”
3. Family, friends and “paparazzi”
If you can involve family and friends, so much the better! This way they will be entitled to many good wishes and this will make the moment even more intense. Make sure, however, that everyone is able to keep a closely guarded secret (and remember advice number one: your sweetheart’s personality! Doesn’t she prefer an intimate moment for two?…)
As for the “paparazzi”, well… It is said that “to remember is to live”, right? Therefore, you can ask your “partners in crime” for help to record the moment or, even better, you can always resort to the services of a professional who, discreetly – of course! – will thus immortalize the moment that will change your lives.
4. Creativity is the watchword!
Despite the fabulous videos we see on Youtube, with marriage proposals that look like they came out of a movie, you don’t need to resort to a private jet and take her to Paris for dinner or head a megalomaniac production! Just be creative… A simple meal for two, in medium light, can become a memorable circumstance, as long as you do your best. Small details make all the difference so get ready and set the mood!
5. Calmness and sincerity
If the question is common to most newlyweds – the “will you marry me?” never goes out of style! – what you want to say to your future wife, at that particular moment, is not. Keep a few words in mind, but keep in mind that you must be calm enough to remember them! And if you’re not… Be honest! Speak to her heart with your heart.
6. Choose the location carefully!
The first date, the first kiss… She will remember all of that, for sure! And if these places have somehow made a difference in your history, why not remember them, on a trip to the past, already holding hands for the future? Emotions will be on the surface of both and this will enhance the moment.
7. The engagement ring…
It’s not worth not getting the engagement ring right! And it’s easy “not to put your foot in the ring” (or the ring go!): ask family and friends – but remember that the more people are aware of your intention, the easier it will be for someone to reveal it to the bride … – or else, “steal” a ring from your loved one and take it to the jewelry store to serve as a reference. If it is not possible to take it, place the ring on your finger and establish the measurement based on your own fingers. So at least the ring size will be approximately right!
8. A little extra help…
Today, several companies offer their organization services, geared towards such moments. You can even find some of them in our Suppliers Guide, ensuring marking moments, to remember later. And this could be the extra help you needed so much!
