How To Propose: Will You Marry Me?

It is okay to ask your girlfriend about engagement rings before the marriage proposal. It is good to go engagement ring shopping together, let the girl see the rings for sale and point out what she likes, then let the guy make the final choice. This way the size of the ring and style are not the surprise, just when to propose and how to do it.

Another idea is to ask a friend of your girlfriend to find out her ring size, white gold, gold, platinum or other type of band she likes and what style diamond ring. This way the ring will fit, and she will like it, when you propose to her. This way, also, everything will be a surprise.

Select a location to ask for her hand in marriage that is special to both of you. This is so important since she will remember where you were when you asked her to marry you. Do you visit the beach a lot, go to a local park, take walks along the same path? Do you both like sports. This is then where you should pop the question. Consider selecting one of these locations to propose.

Kneeling down on one knee, wherever you have chosen, is a surprise that your girlfriend will never forget. When planning your proposal keep as many of the details to yourself as you can. Tell only those who need to know to make the encounter happen and leave everyone else on the outside. The more people who know, the better chance of someone accidentally slipping out a comment that your girlfriend will catch and figure out what you are up to.

Come up with the right words: When trying to put together the right words for the proposal think back to they way you felt about her when you first met. Were you awestruck by her blue eyes or hair, did her laugh catch your attention or were you attracted to her by her personality?

Fine the right words:What does your girlfriend say or how does she act to inspire you? You admire her for her convictions; what are they? Does she stand her ground on a certain subject? Does she value something with all of her mind and soul (except for you)? Recognizing these traits and putting them into words for your proposal for marriage will show that you love her for who she is inside.

Sample phrase: I respect how you feel about [blank]. That is why I love you for who your are and would be proud to have you in my life forever..

Find the right words:Think about the goals you share and what you have talked about for building your futures together. Do you want to travel, build a house, start a family or advance your careers? When you have common goals it emphases why you will be happy with each other in your lives.
