You have found your soulmate. The person you want to spend the rest of your life with. You have found the perfect ring, and now you want to make sure that the proposal will be just as she imagined. Follow these tips to make this the perfect proposal for the two of you.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Step1
The most common way is obviously getting the ring, going on your knees and asking. What you can change about that is the setting. It could happen during a vacation you two have planned, or during a family dinner. To find out what would be her dream, you could ask some friends who will promise not to tell, or you could drop subtle hints. If you are lucky, you two have already discussed it, and she has told you exactly what her dream proposal is.
Step2
If your woman/ man is sporty, you can propose to them after a nice day of rock climbing, or during a parachute jump or during a scuba diving trip. If money is the matter, then take her for a nice jog somewhere you know she likes, and pop the question then.
Step3
A friend of mine actually invited my friend over for dinner. She did not expect anything of it, and went. She was very surprised to find that the main course was alphabet soup!!! On her plate, she saw MARRY ME written and was so incredibly surprised!! She still gushes about this proposal 5 years later. You can also take that approach with your gal/ guy. You can also try baking a cake and writing it in frosting.
Step4
Another original way of proposing is having it written on the sky with a plane. For this, you can take her/him out for a picnic or just a stroll right when you have made arrangements for the plane to begin writing the message.
Step5
Say it with jewelry. I know, you have already gotten the engagement ring. But Tifanny has now a charm that says Marry Me, which you could surprise her with first. If your girl is the jewelry type, this would make for a proposal she could cherish forever.
Step6
If you live close to the beach, or want to go on a beach vacation, try taking her/him for a walk during sunset and when there is just the two of you and the beach, make it an extra special moment by proposing.
I could think of very few things more romantic than this.

Tips & Warnings

  • Whether these tips are great for you or not, make sure that the proposal is special for the two of you, and fits your styles.
