5 Places to Consider Popping the Question February 23, 2009
Posted by Jill Renee in : Proposing Marriage, Romantic Tips , trackbackYou know that you want to marry her, you’ve picked out and purchased the ring-the only thing left to do is pop the question. Figuring out where to ask your special someone to marry you is a difficult thing, but sometimes the solutions to difficult problems are only made difficult by our desire to make things perfect.
Remember that when you are asking your intended to marry you, it needs to come from a place of love and sincerity first and foremost. Here are a few ideas for making that day a special one to remember for you and your future spouse.
Family Visit
Though visiting your future wife’s family can be challenging and stressful, it can also be a great opportunity to propose. After speaking with her family and asking her father for permission to marry her, you may find that the time is right to ask her for her hand in marriage. A proposal at her childhood home may be just the right thing to bring the past and present together.
Weekend Getaway
Planning a surprise weekend getaway to a place where neither of you have been is a great way to share new experiences and enjoy one another’s company with little or no distraction. Do your research and find a unique place to ask for her hand in marriage ahead of time and she will remember that occasion forever.
Favorite Restaurant or Bar
Many couples have their special spot that they like to visit frequently. If you are a regular at a particular restaurant or bar, your potential spouse may enjoy being proposed to surrounded by friendly faces in a familiar spot. You will certainly be the subject of many stories for years to come and will certainly receive congratulations and kudos from others there who know you well.
First Date Sites
Take a trip down memory lane and recall those places where the two of you first got to know one another. Perhaps you used to walk around a park after dinner or did something particularly fun and exciting one evening. Revisiting these places can rekindle those early feelings of attraction and puppy love that got you two to where you are today. Proposing in one of these places could be the right move and shows that you honor the past that you have shared together.
During a Favorite Activity
Many couples share a variety of common interests, whether it is going hiking together or attending live music performances. During one of these kinds of activities, get on one knee and propose to your special someone. It will not soon be forgotten and is more than likely not expected either.
More than any other factor, your proposal needs to come from the heart and should show thoughtfulness and consideration. Make sure that this special occasion fits your relationship and reflects the type of life you wish to share together in the future.
