Who can argue that marriage is one of the core things in our life? But we often forget that it is preceded by one more significant stage – a marriage proposal. After serious musing whether she is the one to spend the rest of your life with, it is time for further steps. How to express your love in a truly unique and creative way? How to make this day perfect for both? Of course, you may just go to a classy restaurant or a coffee shop where you two first met. However, we suggest that you think about some alternatives. Meet our top 5 ideas for making an exceptional proposal – perhaps, this is what you are looking for.
1. Art proposal
Prepare her before asking “Will you marry me?” by waking the best memories up. Hire an artist to draw a series of pictures depicting your special moments together. The final one should portray the proposal scene, which has not happened yet but will turn real very soon! Organize a relaxed setting – bring flower petals, candles, champagne etc. Ask your love for a date and guide her through the sweet gallery. Talk the arts over to recall how magnificent all those events were. Once she sees the last picture, get down on one knee, say how much she means to you and give her the ring.
2. Go for a romantic vacation
If your girlfriend adores travelling and taking new activities up, this plot is for you. Make it not a simple proposal, but a splendid journey bringing you life-long memories. Which destination to choose? Think of what she would love the most – sailing across exotic islands or having fun at a ski resort. All you need is to plan every detail in advance and have some back-up options in case of something going not as expected. Pick one evening to pop the question. Watch the ring out! It is pretty easy to lose during flights and drives. Moreover, your fiancée-to-be may accidently find it in your luggage. Pack it safely unless you want her to guess your intent.
3. Set a scavenger hunt
The route may depend on your imagination: some memorable places across your home area or even a round-the-world trip. Anyway, all the clues and spots must refer to her personality and habits and contain some meaningful facts about your time together. Share your plan of making a proposal with her friends or family members and ask them to join your adventure. Actually, your sweetheart should be the only person unaware of the goal of all this. Make the ring the final clue and personally give it to her when she arrives to very last venue. The latter may be a beautiful coast, her backyard, or a restaurant – just let it imply something about you two.
4. Flash mob
A perfect scenario for those who enjoy attention; plenty of agencies would be happy to prearrange it for you. Select time and place carefully, make sure that you will manage to take her out that day. If some backing is needed, invite her friends and family – undoubtedly, they will be excited about helping you. Another variant is to get your dear one involved into the process. You know, as if she participated in a proposal flash mob for someone else. After all, you will spontaneously take the ring out of your pocket and do what needs to be done.
5. Send your love by the air
This is, probably, not the easiest way to tell about your feelings, but a surpassing one. Charter an airplane carrying a banner with your proposal message (or ask a pilot to write this in the sky). Note that the weather must be amazing and manage to come in the right place at the right time. Ask your bride-to-be for a picnic and overwhelm her with a little surprise. Oh, and the last but not the least –it would be nice to pack the ring in a separate lunch box to make the atmosphere even more enchanting.
