Take A Hike

No not her reply to you…I mean literally! Hopefully you know some cool hiking places far away from other people. If not then go find a tranquil area complete with waterfall!

This is especially a cool idea if she’s into all that kind of stuff!

So pack all her favourite food and some champagne. Make sure not to get too intoxicated as to make your isolated trip home too dangerous!

Take her under a waterfall and propose there and then, on one knee of course! She’ll love it! Don’t even think about hiding the ring under a rock or I’ll come and steal it myself! Don’t think I’m joking!

Another reason why this is one of my favourites: If you’re out of cell phone range, she has to postpone the 7000 announcement calls she has to make…truly hilarious! Though one drawback is the fact you could have numerous unannounced tourists with back packs and annoying thick green knitted jumpers strolling in at any moment!

Hot Air Balloon

This one is a bit cliché, but will really get the both of you in the mood and will create a magical experience.

Make sure you pack all her favourite food, a nice bottle of champagne and some romantic music! Wait until you’re over some really nice scenery to do it! Please don’t drop the ring!

The only and obvious drawback is that you’ve got the company of the hot air balloon operator who’s going to have to pretend he’s not noticing anything! I hope he doesn’t put you off!

I hope these romantic marriage proposals have given you something to think about, why not see Engagement Proposal Ideas from the beginning for more suggestions!

I also suggest you take a look at Marriage Proposal Ideas for some of the most creative proposals ever conceived!

With luck, this will be the only time you get to Propose To Your Girlfriend! You only get one go, so you need to make sure you get it right! Because believe me, when its done, she is going to be explaining everything down to the last detail with everybody she knows; from how you fooled her into thinking you really were away on a business trip right down to how your voice quivered when you popped the question!

Because I care so much…I’m about to tell you exactly how to propose to your girlfriend, as well as some school boy errors to avoid.

1. You should not be surprised by her answer! If you think there’s a chance she might say NO, then you’ve not being going out with her long enough! If on the off chance she says YES then you probably don’t know enough about her in the first place to be asking! If that makes sense?

2. Surprise her! Don’t tell her a week in advance that you’ve booked a hot air balloon ride over the grand canyon! You’d be amazed how many guys are this stupid!

3. If it’s a public proposal then be extra sure she’s going to say yes! Having your proposal brought up on the score board at a half time Football game could be the most humiliating experience of your life

4. Personalise the proposal! If she loves to go camping, then propose to your girlfriend during a camping trip!

5. For heavens sake, look after the ring! Guard it like it’s your precious! Don’t risk losing it as part of your engagement scheme by burying it sand or giving it to an idiot waiter on minimum wage to bring over!

6. Get on one knee! Literally! It’s old and cliché but it’s the vision she’s had of her proposal since she was a little girl, so don’t ruin it!

7. Actually have a ring to hand! Which will show her that you’ve actually gone and planned the whole thing and you’re not just asking her to marry you on a whim!

8. Practice your proposal! Run through every eventuality in your head, know exactly what could go wrong and have a back up plan! Even practice saying the words to your friends, the Dog and to the mirror! Sure you’ll feel stupid, but better that than having her tell all her friends that you bumbled the words when the moment came!

9. Timing is important! If you’re wanting a long engagement then propose to your girlfriend in the spring. You could make the excuse that you want a spring wedding, so you’ll have a whole year to plan (or change your mind). If you want to get the whole thing over with then propose during the winter!

I hope you now have some idea of how to propose to your girlfriend, however please do check out Engagement Proposal Ideas from the beginning!

Knight In Shining Armour

This one is a little public, so you need to know that your girl would enjoy this type of thing! Also check the local laws for riding Horses through parkland.

1. Hire a knight’s armor costume.

2. Rent a beautiful steed, black Stallion, mount…a horse!

3. Arrange to meet her in a nice park, perhaps somewhere you go for walks and is special to the two of you!

4. Put 1 and 2 together, or wear the knights armor costume and for heavens sake get some assistance with the Horse, you can’t be too careful!

5. Keep her waiting for a few minutes (but no longer than 10, you don’t want her to say NO!!!) and turn up as her knight in shining armor!

6. Have a friend hiding in some nearby bushes (preferably someone with a clear criminal record) and as you approach have him play Holst’s “Jupitor” or alternatively have him simply press the “Play” button!

7. As you arrive, get down on one knee and present the ring with some princely flare!

This is a very Romantic Proposal Idea which she will truly enjoy telling all her friends. It takes only a little bit of work, although plenty can go wrong especially if you’re no good on Horses! I suggest you take a few lessons otherwise! Make sure the ring is accessible with your armor costume on! Don’t take any chances!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

This is one of the most romantic wedding proposals and will really show your girl that you’ve been paying attention to all the little details. It is the little details that she’ll be telling all her friends and family about when they ask her!

You need to have a think about a few things! This wedding proposal idea is all about what the two of you have done in the past so get a pen and paper and wright it down!

1. Where and how did you meet?

2. Where did you go on your first date?

3. Where did you have your first picnic?

4. Where was your first holiday?

5. What was the first meal you cooked for her?

6. What music did you listen to the first time you made love?

Now that you’ve remembered all these things, your job is to put them all together to make the most Romantic Wedding Proposal imaginable! Of course if you met in a bus stop, i’m not suggesting you take her there for a recreation of your first meal! But perhaps you could go on a walk past the bus stop? Then arrive at the picnic venue where you would serve her your first meal there! While playing your special music, you could pop the question while drinking the first bottle of wine you shared!

Perhaps you could go on a recreation of your first date, get home, cook her your special meal, watch the first movie you saw together then ask her to marry you to your special song. It all depends on what you’ve shared, which is why it will be so special for her!

Proposal And Wedding In One

This idea is for the truly bold couple and only then when you’re 100% certain she’ll say yes! It would be convenient if you’d already been going out for a few years just so you know for sure she’ll say yes, you’ll see why soon! This wedding proposal idea will certainly require a lot of help and silence from everybody involved but will certainly provide an incredible memory for everybody especially your soon to be wife!

Book a holiday in Hawaii where wedding restrictions aren’t quite so stringent! If you’ve already been with your girl before, then book in at the same hotel where you’ve already experienced fond memories!

Go out for dinner in the evening and when the time is right, get down on one knee and propose. Present the ring to her and when she yes…Start the wedding on the spot!

You need to prearrange everything with the hotel. Get her a dress, hire a stylist, photographer etc! More importantly, you need to have a minister on stand by (arranged through the hotel or a local planner) and all her friends and family!

When you propose to her, everything needs to be in place and i mean every fine detail! All your friends and family need to be waiting nearby, not seen and need to be ready to jump out on queue!

This is an extremely bold Wedding Proposal Idea where so much can go wrong! However, you will go down as a legend in her eyes if you can pull it off!

For some of the best wedding proposal ideas, i suggest you take a look at these Wedding Proposal Stories!

The Beach Proposal
Asking your loved one to marry you on the beach is tried and tested without being overdone. You should make it personal, as with any proposal of course! This is one of the Best Marriage Proposals and needs a little planning!

1. Make a walk on the beach appear spontaneous! It should be a quiet or private beach, but most importantly it should be a beach you’ve both had a shared experience!

2. You should have previously prepared a love poem for your girlfriend and stuck it in a bottle somewhere in the sand. You can singe the edges of the paper to make it look old and authentic. As you progress through the poem, you can add in some personal touches so that it slowly appears to be your girl you’re talking about. This will really surprise her!

3. Go digging for shells (conveniently around the area you’ve hidden your bottle) or build sandcastles. When you find the bottle, act all surprised and read the poem to her!

4. You can then pull the ring out from your pocket!

This is a very romantic idea which she will love. It’s an easy idea to make personal to the two of you as you can choose a special beach where you’ve had a shared experience. I would hide the bottle on the morning of the day you plan to take action, definitely not the night before due to the tide (you’d be surprised how many people don’t realize) and please remember where you’ve hidden the bottle! This is especially true if you decide to put the ring in the bottle also!

So you’re thinking of asking your true love to marry you? Well congratulations on getting this far!

Before we start, I have a little present for you! As a thank you for visiting Engagement Proposal Ideas and to wish you good luck for your lifetime of happiness with your special lady, I would like to recommend to you an awesome book on the best Marriage Proposals! It’s a fantastic book which will enable you to really impress her!

Now lets get started! If you’re like most guys, then I’m sure you’re agonizing over exactly How To Propose Marriage! Remember that 80% of women polled were disappointed with their engagement proposal. Also I’m sure you realize that when women announce to their friends that they’re now engaged, the first thing they are always asked is “How did he propose?” This can put enormous pressure on men to get it right so luckily we are here to help! We have some great Engagement Proposal Ideas, but which ever idea you go for, it is important to remember these things:

1. If you take an idea from a website or a suggestion from anywhere else, make sure you don’t make it a carbon copy. Make it unique to the two of you, using your own memories and shared experiences and not somebody else’s.

2. It’s not all about how much you spend on the proposal! Some of the Best Engagement Proposal Ideas ideas are the least expensive!

3. Consider the kind of girl she is! If she’s the shy type then she might not appreciate a public proposal at a sporting event! If she’s an extravert then proposing during an intimate dinner may be disappointing for her!

4. Make sure to include little touches that are really meaningful to the two of you ie; where you met, how you met, the first flowers you bought her, the first movie you watched or meal you cooked her, perhaps even an anniversary! These are the little details she will be telling her friends and will remember forever!

5. If you’re thinking about proposing on holiday then stop and think why! Have the two of you been there before and shared in a special experience there? It’s far better to propose at the spot you first met or had your first picnic than flying across the world to propose somewhere you’ve never been!

6. You will need to plan you proposal out in every minute detail! Don’t leave anything to chance. Have a contingency plan in case something goes wrong and above all…try and surprise her! You will be more likely to successfully surprise her if you think about every detail and little mishap that might happen!

I hope the following engagement proposal ideas give you inspiration and that
she says yes!
