M@rri@ge on the Mind!?!?!

Greetings!!!!!

In a conversation with a dear old gal, she’d asked that I write a blog. She was throwing shade because she didn’t have much to read during her lunch hour due to my neglect. That’s neither here nor there, more importantly, she’d asked that I write a blog on proposals!!!! Perhaps she’s dropping hints to the Mister…lol just kidding girl J

At some point in your life you WILL find that special someone that makes you think about planning a future together! Look at me speaking life over you… YOU WILL okay? Proposals are pretty special; heck ladies have been waiting for one the better part of their lives. You don’t want to be “that guy” that messed it all up due to a mix of anxiety and adrenaline! Women tell the story of their proposals over and over again!!! If I were a man, I wouldn’t want my girl to be fabricating the truth because I did soooo poorly. I believe the best route is first deciding whether this proposal will be intimate or grand! Next, customizing the proposal to your relationship ensures pure success. Having a plan is the most commonly overlooked stage of a marriage proposal but it is the MOST IMPORTANT!

If you’re looking for a more intimate situation, of course you can replace her every day ring with her engagement ring, write a love letter or poem, create a trail of roses and candles around the ring, slip the ring on while she sleeps, or take her to a fancy dinner while popping the bottles of bubbly. Buttttttttt……

Do you have a Flare for the dramatic?

Picture New York, a critically acclaimed Broadway show, you and the stage manager arranging for a proposal during the production or after the cast’s curtain call…

Rent a billboard where everyone in the city can witness your proposal…how freaking public!

Got money to waste? Renting out a night club equipped with a photographer, caterer, florist, lighting and designer is real over the top! So much over the top it may be hard to top it for your actual wedding…

DANGER ALERT: Pay the divers at an aquarium to put on a lil show inside the biggest shark tank available…Have them use “Will you marry me?” signs…

Choreograph a flash mob <----- they say it’s so 2012 but I still love them!

Create your own sappy proposal podcast if she’s an iPod addict…

Rent a hot air balloon and propose mid air! Stir clear of the power lines tho!!

DANGER ALERT: Seclude a place atop a skyscraper…wine and dine…dance and kiss…but don’t go close to the ledge now! Wow, imagining that backdrop makes me happy *thumbs up*

(One of my favorites) Orchestrate a treasure hunt…have clues at home, work, and close relatives or friend’s houses. Send her on tours and memorable spots all over town.

Hide her ring in a significant size treasure chest and have her “find” it while snorkeling…snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef? WINNING!

YouTube fanatic? Upload a sentimental yet funny video! She’ll be forwarding all year long…

A classic…jumbotron proposal at a sporting event!

Beach trip coming up? Hire a skywriter to spell out your proposal. I’ve actually seen that and it’s pretty cute!

DANGER ALERT: Propose while jumping out of a plane! Memorable indeed! (This reminds me of that episode of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air where Hillary’s boyfriend tried this and DIED…Dang Trevor)

Go away for a one day excursion…long morning drive…travel to an adventurous theme park or romantic resort…and propose!

Make your own message in a bottle…you’d have to purposely put it where it can be found but the thought is too cute…X marks the spot!

Create a webpage declaring your love and intentions…but remember once it’s on the internet there is NO LIVING IT DOWN! She may refer to it often and tell you about yourself lol

(I use to be in LOVE with this one) Buy a pet she’s always wanted and loosely tie the ring around his neck.

Gather your friends and family together and have them wear t shirts bearing one letter of the phrase “will you marry me?” or have them give your lady cards or puzzle pieces bearing the letters…she’ll put them together at the end…

Actually, take almost any of these options and make them a grand slam by adding a vacation to the mix…

Ta ta for now….
