How To Propose Marriage

Here's how to make your marriage proposal a memorable and delightful experience.

Here's How:

1. Find the right person.

2. Fall in love.

3. Know enough about your future in-laws to know if asking permission from them first would be appreciated.

4. Know enough about your future spouse so you can create a meaningful and delightful experience.

5. Decide if you are going to purchase the engagement ring before or after you propose marriage.

6. When purchasing an engagement ring, stay within your budget or financial capability.

7. Pay attention to timing. Don't plan on proposing marriage when your future spouse is stressed or overwhelmed.

8. Pick a memorable place, song, or occasion such as where you first met, or first kissed, etc.

9. Set a romantic tone.

10. Keep it fun.

11. Keep your marriage proposal simple.

12. If you are thinking of tying the ring to the end of a kite string or fishing line, be certain that your intended has a great sense of humor and that you know how to tie a good knot!

13. Make sure you don't lose the engagement ring if you've purchased one. Some folks hide an engagement ring so well that even they can't find it.

Tips:

1. Be prepared to have your best-laid marriage proposal plans fall apart.

2. Focus more on the moment than on the engagement ring and other externals surrounding your marriage proposal.

3. Try not to give your plans away by showing how nervous you are.

What You Need:
