The ideal moment
Avoid the moments of great stress: maybe they are very busy days and often fight, or your girlfriend has her head elsewhere for the problems that weigh the day. Expect a holiday or organize a weekend in a more relaxed moment.
Alone in public?
If the bride does not like to be the center of attention, better choose a romantic but discreet place: your restaurant, by the sea, by boat. If, however, you believe you can appreciate it, ask her to get married during the soccer game or a big party in front of all your common friends.
Traditional or original?
Traditionally, you can kneel, say what you have in your heart, ask the question and draw the ring. If you are looking for an original or outdated idea, you can take a night’s serenade, buy a space in the newspaper, make a video and publish it on a social tagging yourself and all your relatives, spreading flyers around the city and posting posters.
Kneeling by you…
Kneel or not? Very personal choice. If she often moves in front of romantic films, and is like a lace wedding dress with a long train, maybe she would like it. On the other hand it is simply a way to underline that it is an official request and will allow you to highlight how important it is to you.
The ring
When you ask for your hand, you will have a ring with you. To choose the perfect one for her, it’s better to have her tastes clear and take note when you pass in front of the jewelers’ windows. And for the measure? You can borrow one of its rings and if you do not wear rings, you can ask for the silent complicity of the mother in discovering the size.
What to say?
Choosing the right romantic phrases will be a great way to excite her. If you want to add something playful, no problem: you will ease the tension. But do not give up telling her something very intense; take a cue from a song or a movie that you love, if you’re just short of ideas.
