Asking for a girl’s hand in marriage can be a stressful thing and you obviously want this to be a very special moment that you can both cherish. If you are planning to pop the question to your partner in the near future and you are open to suggestions, here are a few cool ways to propose marriage.
- Surprise picnic – This is a firm favourite that is guaranteed to make her smile when she suddenly realises what is actually happening. Of course, it takes some careful planning and some help from a good friend and this is one of the most romantic ways to propose, with a chilled bottle of champagne on ice to celebrate the occasion. Hide the oval engagement ring in a safe place, ready for that special moment when you drop to one knee and ask that special question.
- Take a romantic hike in the forest – The best way to plan is to select a route and find a spot to hide the ring; of course, you have to make sure that you remember exactly where it is. You don’t have to worry that someone will find the ring, as only you know where it is concealed. You could make a spur-of-the-moment suggestion to go for a relaxing hike in the country and she will never guess what you have in store!
- Propose on a rooftop bar – If the establishment is in on the act, they can prepare the setting, with romantic music in the background and the ring box hidden in her dessert. Imagine her surprise when she discovers the ring! Then you can order her favourite cocktail as a celebration and start planning the engagement party. Here are a few good reasons to choose a lab-grown diamond for the engagement ring.
- Recreate your first date – Of course, it isn’t always possible to return to the place where you had your very first date, but if it is doable, it is a nostalgic way to pop the question. Talk to the establishment owner who would be happy to help in any way that they can. Arrange for a violinist and singer to play and they would plan their song so that it goes perfectly with your proposal.
- Hot air balloon – Why not propose at 2,000 ft in a hot air balloon? There is nothing more romantic than being above a stunning natural backdrop and the last thing she will expect is for you to place a diamond ring on her finger! Start with a Google search to find a Sydney provider of hot air balloons and browse websites until you find one that ticks all the boxes.
Of course, there are many more great ideas to consider if none of the above make you excited and once you have popped the question, you can start planning for a New Year wedding.
