There are some moments that you and your partner will remember for the rest of your life, and your wedding proposal is one of them. Unfortunately, for some, they remember this occasion for all of the wrong reasons, and this means that it is important that you create the perfect wedding proposal. These top tips will help you to do just that, and will hopefully give you both something to remember.
Plan it, don't blurt it
There are a lot of people who get so stressed about creating the ideal marriage proposal that, instead, they end up blurting the question out during something mundane such as the ad break between the two halves of a soap opera. While you might still be able to get the answer that you're after, it won't be all that memorable, and your partner may remember the storyline of the programme more than your proposal. Instead, taking the time to plan something special is the best plan.
Get your timing right
This will vary for each couple, but timing is one of the key considerations when it comes to wedding proposals. You don't want to ask the question to soon (it's not a great idea to get down on one knee at the end of the first date, for example) but you don't want to leave it for ten years either, as your partner may think you're not interested at all.
You should also do your best to avoid other occasions where possible. This could include things like significant birthdays and the weddings of other family members. If you were to propose at another event, especially if the event was not even planned by you, you may find that the host is annoyed that you stole their thunder, not to mention that your partner may feel as though they didn't have a moment to call their own. Instead, make it something just for the two of you.
Choose your location
It's easy to think that you've found the perfect place for a proposal, until you think of something better. Don't rush into it. It might help to make a list of all of the places that you're considering, as this will make it easier to think things through and ensure that you're making the right decision. It is common for people to choose the place where they had their first date, where they met, or something with equal significant meaning. One thing to be aware of, though, is that you should ensure that it means as much to your partner as it does to you. Nothing's worse than announcing that you chose the location because you remembered your partner saying it was her favourite childhood holiday spot - only to find that they said nothing of the sort and you've confused them with an ex instead.
The perfect proposal will differ from couple to couple, but the perfection is in the panning. If you ensure that you've thought everything through to the last detail, you should find that you are more than able to create an occasion to remember.
