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….
All I can say is excellent excellent excellent!!
