Ways To Propose Marriage - Effective Ideas She Can" t Say No To!
There are lots of ways to propose marriage, some conventional and some less so. Not that one way is any better than another. Mostly, it just depends on your personality and of course the personality of your soon-to-be fianc. But since you are reading this article you are probably scouring the Internet to get a feel for the kinds of ideas that are out there. So lets examine a few of the methods that guys I know (including my husband) have used.
Over Thanksgiving weekend, my husband took me to the Portland rose garden with a beautiful scenic overlook. We walked around the park for a while (I later found out that he was looking for just the right spot to propose!) and finally settled down on some benches in a secluded picnic area. The moon was full and very pretty to look at. Being Thanksgiving weekend, he asked what I was thankful for, and then mentioned many of the things he was thankful for that concerned me. Then he pulled a ring out of his pocket and asked me to marry him.
Taking your girlfriend to a very pretty or picturesque spot is a popular way to propose marriage for a lot of guys. Sometimes the place can have special significance to the two of you, such as the first place you went on a date or the first place you kissed.
A friend of mine planned a special evening for his girlfriend the night be planned on proposing. He took her out to a fancy dinner and bought an expensive horse-driven carriage for the evening afterward. She probably figured out pretty quickly that something was going on, but when he proposed as they rode around the city she was very happy and said yes.
Both of these proposals happened to be at night. For some reason, it seems like evening is the most popular time for proposals, but it doesnt have to be the only time for proposals. You could do it just as the sun sets over the lake, or in the early morning hours when the birds are all singing their songs. In fact, if you choose a time earlier in the day it may come as more of a surprise to your girlfriend!
No matter whether your proposal is a complete surprise or whether your girlfriend had a sneaking suspicion (most women usually do have a sixth sense when it comes to this), make your proposal an event to remember fondly for life.
