Do

  • Get down on one knee. Yes, we know it’s old-fashioned, BUT it shows her how important this moment is to you.
  • Be sincere. Tell her exactly how you feel and why. Then pop the question!
  • Keep it simple. The moment you pull out that ring, everything around her will disappear. Don't complicate the moment with tons of distractions.
  • Make it special for HER. You know her best, so do something that she would really appreciate.  Does she love the ocean? A particular song? Listen up!
  • Relax! Take a deep breath and think of the best. You obviously know she loves you if you’re proposing to her!
  • Think of your life together. Marriage is the beginning of a great adventure with your perfect partner. Envision that when planning your proposal.

Don't

  • Over rehearse. Practice is not perfect in the case of expressing yourself. Speak from the heart and she’ll appreciate it.
  • Make it too complicated. Creativity is great, but having too much going on blurs the message. Think of it this way: bank shot or nothing-but-net?  Exactly.
  • Get proposal ideas from your buddies. Ask her most trustworthy friend or another girl.
  • Start by saying, “Well, I guess we should get married, so…”
  • Make it public. Unless she’s said that she wants a splashy proposal, make it an intimate occasion.
  • Hide the engagement ring in food. Choking. Emergency room. ‘Nuff said.
  • Expect her to say ‘Yes’ immediately. If your sweetheart says ‘maybe’, give her some time to consider the proposal. Take it as a compliment – she wouldn’t say ‘Yes’ to just anyone!  You must be special.
