Some Ideas to Make your Marriage Proposal a Memorable Event
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
Mignon McLaughlin
Varun and Smriti have been seeing each other for four years. Now, it’s certainly time for them to tie the knot. However, though both have the same thought in mind, who will be the one to take the first step forward and propose marriage? The convention of the guy proposing to the girl is a passé, so either of them can. But the question is, how?
If you are facing a similar situation and are racking your brains to come up with a romantic and ingenuous idea for proposing to your love, here are some ideas to help you out.
- Keep it sweet and simple: If your beloved prefers subtlety and simplicity to extravagance, this is definitely going to work for you. You can either meet at your or his/her apartment, or in some place where you have some privacy. Make them a cup of coffee or buy their favourite drink. Hold their hands, look deep into their eyes and speak your mind. Make sure that your words flow directly from your heart. The ring can then come into the scene.
- Be a little crazy: If you are shy, quiet or generally not that expressive by nature, eccentricity would certainly surprise them. For that, you have to know your beloved well enough to pre-empt their reaction. You can tell them to wait for you in some café, restaurant or simply on the road. Wait for them to come, then, if a guy go down on your knees, present her with that favourite bouquet of flowers and then proclaim your love boldly. If you are a girl, you can order a cake in the restaurant with your message written on top and play his favorite song. Watch them getting emotional and slip in the ring at this moment.
- Make it special: Take her on a long drive to a seaside. Carry your own tables and chairs. Lay them on the beach while the sun sets and arrange for a candle light dinner. Ask her to dance with you to her favourite tune and then slip the ring in her finger. Watch her go weak in her knees while you present your romantic proposal.
