You found the woman of your dreams to build your life with. You’ve decided it’s time to make things official and put a ring on it. First of all, congratulations! Planning a proposal can feel overwhelming. After all, it's a very big deal. You don’t need to worry, though. In fact, it's not too difficult to do. Here is a super simple, step-by-step guide to planning the perfect proposal for the perfect woman:
Step #1 Decide whether or not to ask for a blessing.
Some people are very traditional and feel this is an important step before moving forward. Traditionally, the father or the parents of the bride are the ones to give this, but your best bet is to seek it from your soon-to-be-fiance’s closest family member. That being said, if your future bride is untraditional, feel free to skip this entirely. After all, you are building your life with each other and not anyone else!
Step #2 Pick the perfect vintage inspired engagement ring.
The next step is to find the perfect ring for the perfect woman. If you haven’t had the ring discussion and want to keep the proposal a complete surprise, a trusted friend or parent can be a huge help as to what she will want. Vintage inspired engagement rings are incredibly popular right now, and for good reason. They are beautiful, glamorous, sparkly, and sure to catch everyone's eye. You want to give her something she is proud to wear, every single day for the rest of her life. If you do a great job picking out this ring, you may just find yourself purchasing vintage anniversary rings for many years to come!
Step #3 Choose a meaningful location.
The location you choose can elevate your proposal from sweet and meaningful to memorable and epic. Does this mean you have to fly your sweetheart to Paris, France? Of course not! Meaningful locations can be close to home. The key is picking a spot that means something to the two of you. It could be as simple as the place where you had your very first date.
Step #4 Make it personal and unique.
The last thing you want to do is embarrass her with a grand, public proposal she doesn't want or underwhelm her with something simple that doesn't meet her expectations. When planning her proposal, base is around her and what she would want. Does your soon-to-be fiance love going out for a night on the town? Does she instead prefer quiet nights in? Her likes and dislikes will guide you to the perfect proposal. Think about what your significant other enjoys and incorporate that into your proposal. In fact, as you think about it, you already know everything you need to know to plan the perfect proposal.
There's really no need to complicate things. You love her and she loves you. Buy her a ring and ask her to marry you! She will be thrilled and say yes!
