I've been posting about various topics about weddings, so
I would like to take a break from that and talk about probably the most
important part of a wedding - the marriage proposal! This is the first big step
in the couple's life (second, if you have
already moved together), that leads to the I-do's and a happy life
together. It would be unfair not to put this topic under the spotlight.
Original and unique marriage proposals are becoming more
and more popular this days, and I personally absolutely really like this trend.
Of course, romantic proposals at a nice restaurant will never go out of
fashion, but the more creative your get with your marriage proposal, the more
memorable it will be for you and your future Mrs. or Mr.
Two years ago I had the chance to plan a truly unique,
carefully thought, and amazing marriage proposal, which included hidden
cameras, a helicopter, horse riding, and a private dinner at the most isolated
location I could find in Santorini. It was a combination of romantic and
adventurous, just the perfect combination for a memorable proposal.
As you might guessed, I love unique marriage proposals. I
know for sure, that if my lovely boyfriend decided to propose, I would be a little
bit disappointed if he didn't involve horses when asking for my hand. I'm crazy
about horses and if I didn’t see horses on that day, I would probably had doubts
that he really knows with who he's dealing with. Make your other half feel
truly special, by including his/her favorite thing in the world.
What makes a proposal unique? It could be a song, it could
be the location, it could a game or movie he or she loves. Whatever is
"special" for you and your boyfriend or girlfriend, it would be
really nice and thoughtful to include it in the proposal. This could serve as
proof, that you truly pay attention and care about what is special for your
other half, as silly as it may sound or look.
For example, does your special someone likes to dance,
but you yourself are not such a good dancer? Surprise her or him by taking some
dance lessons, and then taking her/him out where you could show your freshly acquired
skills. When he or she less expects it make the proposal. You sweetheart will
not only be moved that you took interested in his/her hobby, but will also love
the fact that you asked for her/his hand in such a special way.
Another idea is to make the marriage proposal part of an
unforgettable adventure. Plan fun activities for 3, 4, or even more days. Go to
a nice trip to a different country, go sightseeing, go horse riding, diving,
sky diving, if you are brave enough (I'm
not…), carnivals, wine tastings, anything the place your are visiting has
to offer. Then, at the end of it make the proposal. After the proposal, the
"Yes" and the tears of happiness, go to a nice, romantic dinner.
You could plan something which will include your friends and
family. Have a family dinner at her or his parents' house. Have the lights
suddenly go off and when they will be back on again, surprise your future Mrs.
or Ms. with the message. Have a party at your house (find a good reason though, so you won't make her/him suspicious)
and conjure up a plan with your friends for the memorable proposal. What a
better way to propose, if not around your loving friends and family. Just make
sure to let them know about your plan.
If you prefer something more quite and away from the
public, there are plenty of ways to make the proposal in a unique way at home.
My personal favorite is involving your pets, like hanging the ring or the
message on your dogs collar. Make sure your dog or cat knows what to do, so
they won't end running away with the ring! Have a quite game of scrabble, and surprise
your sweetheart with the "marry me" message. You could even plan a
special evening for your other half when he or she comes back from work. Prepare
a relaxing bath for her or him, offer a massage to further relax your loved
one, cook his or her favorite dinner. At the end of all that, pop the question.
It will the best way to end an amazing evening!
Whatever you decide to do, making it unique and special
is what will make it remembered for life. Put some effort in the proposal. Your
other half will most certainly appreciate it! Who wouldn't melt from love,
knowing that their boyfriend or girlfriend takes interest in his or her hobbies
and favorite things to do. This is a perfect way to show how deeply you care
about your future Mrs. or Mr.
The next blog post will be dedicated to what not to
do for your marriage proposal.
As always, thank you very much for reading, and I'll be
glad to see you again!
