A marriage proposal at the place of your debut

Notice to nostalgics or lovers of signs and other symbols: make your marriage proposal at the place of your first meeting. If it was in Montmartre and you still live in Montmartre, you are right on target. If it was in New York and you now live in Paris, too bad, fall back on your first kiss. And even though it took place in the metro, it works, because it defines you, because it's your journey, because it's magic. There is no good place. The right place is yours.
For the most romantic, add the knee to the ground at the moment of the speech, ring stretched towards the sky: there, immediately, your first meeting takes on a new dimension, here you are measuring the time spent together and the future that awaits you. .

A rural marriage proposal

Nothing cuter than a picnic. But a picnic, is it original when we talk about marriage, engagement, love, ring, all that? Yes, it can be if, on the one hand, you bet on romance (adorable little salads to taste and macaroons that go well), if on the other hand you leave the wrong track (a fifty-minute walk in the middle of dodger or under polar cold), and if, in fine, you manage the timing and come across a magnificent and memorable sunset. You can also choose a beach to be sure to benefit from a clear view and thus stretch out the box containing the ring in the most perfect setting. All that for that then? Indeed, yes.

A dizzying marriage proposal

If the man or woman in your life loves a thrill, and because a marriage proposal usually generates this kind of feeling, give them the dream of a lifetime: paragliding or a parachute jump (or a ride in a merry-go-round for the more cautious). No way to reveal anything, initially it's just a gift, because it's her birthday (or because you had a promo, honey). Once the leap has been made, and while your future spouse is heartbroken, come in with your request. This day, he / she will never forget it, and that is the whole point.

A marriage proposal on the right date

You can also stick to a date that matters, provided (maybe) that your partner has the memory of the dates. If, in fact, he / she does not quite understand why you are inviting him / her to a restaurant that evening (our ten years!), The marriage proposal may fall into the pitcher of water. But if your other half is very “calendar” (or connected to their phone's reminders), choose a very symbolic date, a date that unites you, relating to your history. Meeting, birth of your first child, first sexual intercourse (that counts), first apartment … Valentine's Day is great too – and that makes everyone agree). Say goodbye to those who think it's too easy. It's romantic and we expect no less!

A little fall before the summit always feels good, and that's usually what you remember. If you are spending the holidays with your family, save your surprise for Boxing Day.
