You’ve found the right person, and you’ve both fallen in love.
That’s a good start, but before you propose, you should know enough about your future in-laws to know whether or not you should ask permission from them first.
You should also know enough about your future bride to create a memorable experience.
First things first… decide if you are going to purchase the engagement ring before or after you propose, and always make sure to stay within your budget or financial capability.
When planning when to propose, pay attention to timing. Don’t propose when she is stressed or overwhelmed, and don’t be afraid to postpone your proposal.
No matter how you decide to propose, its a good idea to include a memorable place, song, or occasion (where you first met, first kiss). Be sure to set a romantic tone, have fun, and K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid). Most importantly, remember to focus more on the moment than on the engagement ring and all the externals.
Of course, don’t lose the ring, and try not to give away your plans by showing how nervous you are. You will be nervous! Make sure you bring along a handkerchief and wear lots of deodorant. You’ll be all right, and if its meant to be, she’ll say yes!
