Popping The Question: How To Do It Right!
So, you've been with your sweetheart, and you've thought it through. You haven't taken the advice of "Don't do it…" that's circulating among all your buddies. You're about to make a lifelong commitment and enter the bonds of wedded bliss and holy matrimony – but only if you've got the right ways to propose, to make it a moment that your bride to be will remember and cherish for the rest of her life.
Wedding proposals take a lot of nerve.
Nobody likes being rejected, and that's
always the risk – take it from us. We've heard the stories about the guy who bought the ring, knelt…and got turned down. So, make sure you sound her out (and her family out) before you do this; it's pretty important, so do your homework.
First canvas some marriage proposal ideas. Your bride-to-be has preferences, and tastes. She has moments that will make her go "Awww…". So cater to them. This is your sales pitch for "Hi, I want you to be with me for the rest of my life." If she loves outdoor activities, schedule a day of them, and propose at the end when she's got that glow from doing the things she loves. If her fantasy of a romantic wedding proposal involves being asked in a public place, like at a sporting event, go rent a flash on the Jumbotron.
On the other hand, some of the best marriage proposal ideas are the ones tied to creativity. We know a guy who proposed by getting everyone in her office to collude with him, even her boss – there was a formal proposal review from an important client waiting for her in the board room. She came in, all geared up for work – and the important client was her future husband, making an earnest proposal with wall charts, cost benefit analyses, five year plans and everything else, all delivered with a grin and her co-workers clapping behind her.
Having a catalog of marriage proposal ideas can give you the information you need to come up with the "knock her socks off" proposal that you need. Fortunately, this book exists, by Michael Webb, and it's been showcased on Oprah and on national TV – and we have it here.
