How Are You Going To Propose?
Marie Wilson
If you were able to take a poll of happily married couples and the atmosphere, location and other details of when they became engaged, the variety might be pretty overwhelming. But one thing that will jump out is that you could divide the ways people get engaged into two categories. Category #1 are spontaneous moments of overwhelming romance and passion when he popped the question. Category #2 are engagements that were carefully prepared for so it was clear that the moment was planned and thought through and carried out with the precision of a military invasion.
So what is ideal if you have it in your mind to propose is the best of both types of engagements? You want the feeling of spontaneity and romance so your lover is also overwhelmed with the emotion but you want the advantages of planning ahead so you are in complete control of how you pop this very important question, even if you are not completely in control of her answer.
One aspect of that moment when you propose to your sweetheart are the actual words you will say. They call it the "four little words" which are of course, "Will you marry me", but in a lot of cases men have been known to go on for quite some time before getting to the point. So along with planning the setting, whether the ring will play a role and even little things like the lighting and your outfit that night, think about the actual words you will say when you ask her what may be the most important question you ever ask.
Before you put together the actual words you are going to say to ask for her hand in marriage, it might be best to decide if the proposal will be a total surprise or if you will set the date up so she is very aware of what is going to happen. For example, if you get dressed up, make it a particularly romantic date and are going to go with the well known kneeling and presenting the ring approach, the traditional "Will you marry me?" may be just right.
Whatever your image of that perfect moment is, also remember that this special date will become a permanent part of your sweetheart's memories of your courtship and she will tell the story of how you proposed many times in the years to come. But also be very conscious that the odds are you are going to be plenty nervous about how to carry this important moment off. So make sure the way you plan on asking is something you can remember and execute well even if you are sweating buckets and are a bundle of nerves.
But you can make that sweet moment when you take your love for her to the next level by asking her to be your bride very special with some well chosen words. If you have strong feelings of love and romance that come up and overwhelm you often, and who doesn't when it comes to the woman who will be your bride for life, you may gush your feelings in a speech that could resemble something Shakespeare might write. Just keep in mind that if your preface to popping the question is long, she will be dying of anticipation and keeping her like that too long might start to wear on both of you. So if you write out how you want to ask and it takes five minutes to say it all, some editing might be in order.
Don't be afraid to be creative and just put the romance you feel in your own words because that will be just as poetic as anything Shakespeare could write to your girl. Don't feel that you have to go with the standard old ways of asking her. You can make your approach to popping the question with something more personal such as "I want the happiness you give me every day to last forever when you become my wife." By making your proposal distinctively you, it truly will be a proposal she will never forget.
You are being smart by starting this early to think about how you want to say those words that will make the love of your life your forever girl. And because you took the time to make sure the words you use will be ones she can cherish in her heart, you are also assuring that even if her answer is just one word, it will be that one word you really want to hear which is "YES".
