Engagement is considered as one of the most precious and significant occasions in a couple’s lives. It celebrates the time that you have both spent together so far and prepares you for the excitement of life after marriage. For many, engagement is a once in a lifetime experience. With that being said, how can you plan to make your engagement to your partner an unforgettable experience?
Choose a Sentimental Location
Most couples have a location that’s secret or special to them. Maybe it’s where you first met, where you had your first date, or where you both said those three all important words! Wherever it may be, set the scene with the help of friends or family, gather a crowd, and make sure that you’ve picked a radiant day! There are no limits to where you can pop the question – you could propose in a fun location such as a fairground, concert, or even a festival!
…Or Go DIY!
Depending on your partner’s personality, some brides and grooms prefer an understated yet romantic engagement. If you’re the creative type, this could mean creating an adorable proposal flipbook or scrapbook. Alternatively, you could plan or prepare a mouth-watering foodie proposal, or create a heartwarming playlist with a proposal themed song hidden inside.
Choose a Ring with Personal Meaning
You should avoid rushing into buying the biggest, most extravagant engagement ring and instead focus on your partner’s personal jewelry taste. Maybe they have a preference for accessories with classic elegance, or they are fixated on everything vintage. Those who have an interest in spirituality or admire vibrant jewelry may appreciate an opal engagement ring from Opals Australia, for instance.
Make It All About Them
Make a list of all the attributes that you love about your partner so that you can be prepared to say it to her or him on the day – you can then tailor these details to special memories that you have both shared together. Remember to be heartfelt and honest, and leave humour and embarrassing memories out of the proposal. Even if you are a couple who love to joke around, your partner will appreciate your sincerity and romantic words. To keep your engagement as personal and memorable as possible, it’s best to ensure that the engagement doesn’t take place during another special occasion, such as a wedding, baptism, or a birthday party (unless it’s their party of course!).
Capture the Moment…
To truly impress your partner, why not hire a professional photographer or videographer to authentically capture the moment? This way, your proposal will not only be an unfading memory, but you will also both have a physical copy of the moment that you can share with others and cherish forever.
…And Be in the Moment
Nobody wants to hear their phone ringing or buzzing while bent down on one knee. For guaranteed peace and quiet, turn off or silence any gadgets that could unfavourably disrupt the moment, or head to a place where there is little to no internet. You could even try convincing your partner that you are both going for a short mindfulness walk where you will not need your phones!
