Rate: (29 Ratings)

This is a moment that will be recounted over and over to friends, family and even your children. Make it memorable.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Address Books
  • Flower Bouquets
  • Champagne
  • Engagement Rings
  • Champagne Flutes

Step1
Try to keep your plans to yourself.
Step2
Consult your intended's father before asking, if you are a traditional kind of guy.
Step3
Make sure the proposal reflects your personal style. Get on one knee and propose at the top of a mountain, during a romantic weekend or while you're on a tropical vacation.
Step4
Have Champagne and flowers waiting.
Step5
If your partner says yes, call the people that matter to let them know.
Step6
Be prepared to start talking about wedding plans immediately.
Step7
Don't be offended if your new fiancée is not taken with the ring you selected. She can choose another setting later if she desires.

Tips & Warnings

  • It may be best to pop the question first and buy the ring together later, especially if you're not sure of her taste.
