Ok guys this one is for you. Are you ready to pop the question? Have a few concerns? Have no fear Swank Soiree is here!
10 Dos when asking your girlfriend to marry you:
1. Do test the water: We don’t hop in the shower without making sure it’s warm so why ask her to marry you and not have a clue what’s in her head. You should at least have talked about the possibility of marriage.
2. Do talk to her parent(s): Although times have changed and we no longer feel as though we HAVE to ask for her hand in marriage; there is something about a man who has enough respect to ask.
3. Do find the right ring: Many women are very particular about what they like and desire in a wedding/engagement ring. Pop into a jewelry store when shopping at the mall together and brose some rings or in-list her best friend, sister or mother to help you shop.
4. Do be prepared: Practice! As silly as it seems as the day draws near you will become more and more nervous to say those four words “will you marry me”; let’s make sure you don’t get tongue tied.
5. Do drop to one knee: There is something so romantic about a man dropping to one knee; it makes us feel like royalty and gives you extra points!
6. Do tell her why you want to marry her: instead of just asking tell her why she is so special that you want her to have your last name. Explain how she inspires you to be a better you, makes you feel like gold and keeps a smile on your face.
7. Do make it a surprise: now while we suggest you test the waters don’t test them the day prior or in such a way you have her thinking its coming. The marriage proposal itself should be a surprise so find a time and place she won’t be suspecting.
8. Do pick a meaningful place: Think about the things that are most important and intriguing to her. What makes her heart smile, what are romantic places that you have shared during your dating?
9. Do be creative: You’ll want to incorporate her favorite, things, places and foods and for some, favorite people.
10. Do call Swank Soiree for assistance: If you would like some help Swank Soiree offers proposal planning services that can be tailored to fit most budgets.
