Determine the ring that will be purchased. Remember that this piece of jewelry will be one she will wear for the rest of her life, so try to make sure it is to her personal taste. Not every woman wants a gold band with a round cut diamond.

Find the perfect setting. Choose a place that is memorable. This can be a Halloween party thrown for friends and family, a trip to the local haunted house, a spooky graveyard if permitted, a themed amusement park that has decorated for the holiday or just watch a scary movie together.

If you're going to get all decked out for this Halloween proposal and you're making all this effort to execute everything correctly, get a friend to video tape the event. Just give them a camera, have them hide behind something and record away. Tape it for posterity.
