How to Plan the Perfect Moment to Pop the Question
Awe, you are in love. You are fortunate to have found the one person with whom you wish to spend the rest of your life. But what about the next steps? How do you ask them to marry you? Read on for some fun and practical tips to make sure your proposal goes off without a hitch (pun intended).
Find the Perfect Ring
The easiest way to select an engagement ring is to know what your soon-to-be-betrothed prefers in ring styles. Absent that information, you can start by commenting on others’ rings and assessing the responses. Your significant other’s friends are excellent resources for information, as well.
Once you have determined a preferred ring style, it is time to select the ring itself. It is best to educate yourself on the best diamond size (hint: a 1 carat is the gold standard in engagement rings) by referencing a 1 carat diamond ring guide as a ring is an artful investment that will last a lifetime and beyond. The wearer will gaze upon it multiple times each day, so you want to be sure you make the right choice.
If your partner wears rings, “borrow” one of them and note which finger it is generally worn on. Bring it to your jeweler to have it sized. This step will make getting the right size easier than simply guessing. Of course, if they do wear a ring on their ring finger, size that one to make the undertaking as easy as possible.
Find the Perfect Location
Now that you have the ring selected, it is time to find a memorable place to pop the question. Start the process by deciding what type of proposal you wish to make. Do you want it to be humorous? How about romantic? Or is something athletic more up your alley? Select a theme or idea based on things like shared interests, a favorite hobby, or a destination you both enjoy going to.
Once you have determined the type of proposal you want to have, it is time to scout locations. If you are both football fans, for example, a proposal at an NFL stadium wearing matching team jerseys while your question-popping moment is broadcast on the Jumbotron for all to bear witness might be the perfect moment for you both.
If you are hiking enthusiasts, look for a new trail that ends with exquisite views at sunset and propose there. Whatever you choose to do, be sure you plan accordingly with the chosen environment in mind. For the hike, ensure you have enough water and food to fuel you throughout your adventure. Bring things such as flashlights, charged phones with battery back-up, sunscreen, etc., just in case.
