I recently came across The 6 Rules of Proposing – yes that’s right. The 6RULES of proposing. Curiosity piqued, I took a little peekof ‘the rules’ and definitely thought they were worth passing on to you!!
So, are you a gentplanning on pulling off a traditional marriage proposal. Yes? Then these rules willresonate with you… Of course, if you are not a traditionalistthen these rules might not fly… but if you and your girl are, I can imagine theywould really, really love for you to follow them.
The 6 Rules of Proposing
1. Ask for her parents blessing.
2. Make sure the proposal is a complete surprise!
3. Use her full name.
4. Get down on one knee.
5. Make sure someone catches the moment on camera (or even better, video).
6. Use a Proposal Planner
Ok, so demsthe ‘rules’ now let me break it down.
1. It’s very romantic and traditional to ask for her parents blessing. She will be very touched you did this.
2. Even if you’ve discussed marriage and know she’s gonna say yes, it’s still paramount to keep it a complete surprise. You know we love surprises.
3. Using her full name is super sweet and definitely romantic.
4. In my opinion – a proposal is not a proposal if you don’t get down on bended knee.
5. If you can arrange for the moment to be captured, she will love that. It’s not uncommon for the person being proposed to to completely forget what you’ve said – it’s the shock you see!!
6. Yourproposal is the one time in your life where you are under pressure to plan the ultimate romantic gesture – and it can be stressful. Hiring a Proposal Planner like us means that you can relax and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about the details.
