The Romantic Way

When you anticipate the most important question of your life, some good romantic proposal ideas help make your moment something you'll treasure the rest of your lives. A proposal is a bridge in your relationship that spans the past to the future. Some bridges are architectural works of art gracing the horizon and conducting us from one body of land to an exciting unknown place beyond. Others are simply functional with no beauty, no character, no memory. Your proposal will be a moment—a story of a question and its romantic reply which you will retell for years. These romantic proposal ideas will help you write your story.

First you need a good background for your story. The following foundational points for a romantic proposal will help you get off to a good start. Somehow, if you've never been romantic and then you romantically propose marriage, it lacks credibility. These romantic proposal ideas will help you out:

• Know ahead of time that you will cherish your future fiancee with respect, love and care. Don't even think of making a joke out of your proposal like hiding the ring in a muffin. I know you wouldn't do that. You have class and style! Right?
• Have a pretty good idea that she will say, "Yes!" If you're not fairly confident, wait a little while. Work on your relationship and prove your trust. Remember that you love her and wouldn't push her into something with which she's not completely comfortable. Certainly, you don't want to put her in the awkward position of having to say that she's not sure.
• If you can, have the ring ready ahead of time. It's really romantic to propose with a ring in hand. There's no thrill quite like it.
• Allow time to order her engagement ring. You may have to get someone's help to secretly get her ring size or at least a fairly close estimate of the correct size. If in doubt order it a little large. It's better for her to feel that her finger is small than big.
• Rehearse what you will say. Be direct and confident. Passionately express your love for her, your desire to have her as your wife and your intention to spend the rest of your life with her. If you're confident, she will have confidence in you.
• Have at least an idea of your plan for a wedding and your life together after the wedding. Be proactive and confident. Paint a picture of your life together for your beloved. Cast a dream that will thrill her soul.
