Romantic Ways To Propose - You Only Get One Shot...Do It right!

When I decided to propose to my wife on our yacht in Monaco, I knew the atmosphere was romantic, but I had no idea what to say or how to act. I checked out a site called ProposalStories.com to see what other men (and women) had done when they decided to propose to the ones that they loved. They were able to give me rather great tips like:

The worst time of day to get engaged

What four words you should NEVER say during a proposal

A little known secret into getting a free engagement ring - one that is usually far nicer than one you could afford to buy

Where are three places you should NEVER pop the question

How to get your proposal aired on television

What are the 5 things you MUST do if you want to videotape your proposal

How soon should you propose to give you the best odds of NOT getting a divorce

Although I didn't have to use all of their advice on everything, it was a huge help and I even ended up changing my original plan up a little bit for the better. ProposalStories.com really helped make things simple. Once I finally proposed to my wife, I quickly realized how special the moment was, and it even took her a little bit to come back to reality.

Now I could focus on planning our wedding!

You've finally found the woman of your dreams: she's beautiful, funny, smart and she even laughs at your cheesy jokes. She has been with you for the good times and the bad. She is the woman that you want to settle down with. You want to have children together and live in storybook cottage with a white picket fence. Now all you need to do is come up with some romantic ways to propose to her, because after all, none of those wonderful things can happen until she's fully on board with the idea, right?

One of the most romantic ways to propose to a woman is doing the classical fancy restaurant routine. All you do is you take her out one night to a fancy restaurant and when she asks why, tell her you have big news and that you want to celebrate. She would most likely think that you are getting a promotion at work or something, so she'll get dolled up and arrive. Then, when it comes time for dessert, you land on bended knee and ask for her hand in marriage. That's beautiful, huh?

Another one of the romantic ways to propose is to do it during something that you two do together. For example, if you both are basketball fans take her out to a game and have the arena staff flash the words "Will you marry me?" on the big screen. Right as she is reading it, you pull that box out of your pocket and nudge her elbow a little. She turns around to see a diamond ring and her face on the big screen.

If money is tight and you can't afford those things, try to do something that you are good at for her. If you are a baker, bake a cake with the big question on it. If you are a mechanic, act like something is wrong with her car. While you are looking under the hood, you suddenly pop out and say "This is what was causing all that noise" and then show her an engagement ring. Good as gold.

As you can see there are many romantic ways to propose to the woman of your dreams. It doesn't eve matter if you have a ring or not yet. Just asking is worth the thought. Remember that proposing is the easy part. Wait until she starts bogging you down with details on your wedding.
