'Tis the season of engagements!! Over the holidays many couples will take their relationships to the next level. Some were proposed to on Christmas Eve or Christmas day and some proposals will take place between New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Whatever day you choose, make it special and make it memorable.
Here's some professional advice to the Proposer...(granted some women are proposing these days too)
1. When picking a ring, get an idea of the style and shape your soon to be fiance likes. While it is your gift to her, she will be wearing it on a daily basis and you want it to be something that she LOVES. Talk to her mother or best friend if you need help. But they must be sworn to secrecy.
(Look for a future post on what to look for when buying a diamond.)
2. I'm very traditional in that before you should ask for the parents blessings before proposing. I think it shows respect and it will get the in-laws on your side from the beginning. If you've been dating for a while, they know it's coming. What better way to start off then knowing parents are in your corner.
3. Plan the proposal. This is not the time to use the Nike theme..Just Do it. You want this to be special and memorable. Whether you chose to do it in an intimate session or in front of friends and family...make it a moment that both of you will remember and that is special or significant to both of you.
4. Capture the moment (if you can). Have someone take pictures or shoot video for you so you can remember the moment. Even if it's an intimate dinner, photojournalists have a way of shooting without being noticed. What better moment memory than to capture that smile or that tear as you ask her to marry you.
5. Sometimes Brides get caught up in the emotion and forget to respond to the proposal...so if she does, repeat the question again and get that rock solid answer to go with that rock solid diamond.
Congratulations to all the newly and future engaged couples!!!
