A marriage proposal is one of THE big moments in a couple’s life. Expectations (and pressure) can be high to make it extra memorable. Should the “proposer” get down on one knee? Where should it take place? Should you ask the parents for permission ahead of time? Should you pick out the engagement ring before the proposal, or choose it together afterward? Whew! That’s a lot to consider. Birkat Elyon<\/a> offers these tips to make your marriage proposal perfect.<\/p>\n

KNOW THE FAMILY<\/h3>\n

Hopefully, you understand your future spouse\u2019s family well enough to know whether they would appreciate a \u201cheads-up\u201d before the proposal. The head of a more traditional family might want to be asked if the marriage can move forward. That might be a father, step-father or grandparent who played a big role in raising your spouse-to-be. Give respect and consideration to your future in-laws.<\/p>\n

TIMING IS EVERYTHING<\/h3>\n

If your partner is going through a stressful time, is overwhelmed at work or otherwise not in a good place, save the proposal for a better moment. The last thing you want is for them to reply, \u201cUmmm\u2026what were you saying?\u201d after you pop the question. On that same note, if the two of you have been fighting about something, save the proposal for a quieter, more romantic time.<\/p>\n

AVOID THE \u201cSILLY\u201d<\/h3>\n

Sadly, there are tales of engagement rings being attached to a kite string or balloon \u2013 and it suddenly flies away. Oops! It\u2019s OK to make a proposal fun, but consider what could go wrong.<\/p>\n

KEEP IT SIMPLE<\/h3>\n

On that same note, keep your marriage proposal plans romantic \u2013 but simple. The more complicated the plan, the more chances for things to go sideways.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS \u201cROMANTIC\u201d?<\/h3>\n

The perfect marriage proposal may involve a spot where you had your first date or first kiss. It may take place at a location that\u2019s extra-meaningful for one or both of you. You might play \u201cyour\u201d song in the background. Think about what your partner loves, from a certain movie to special food, and plan around it.<\/p>\n

KEEP IT PRIVATE<\/h3>\n

Sure, you see those couple who get engaged at a big family party, or via the \u201cJumbotron\u201d at a sports stadium. But that can really up the pressure. It\u2019s best to keep this big moment between the two of you.<\/p>\n

MAINTAIN A SENSE OF HUMOR<\/h3>\n

You know what they say about \u201cthe best-laid plans.\u201d When it comes to big moments, things can easily go awry \u2013 and that includes marriage proposals.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to have a plan for when you pop the question, but if that plan falls apart, it\u2019s equally important to be able to laugh and go with the flow. The most important thing is showing your love \u2013 and offering a symbol of that love with a gorgeous ring. Birkat Elyon has you covered with beautiful, affordable engagement and wedding rings<\/a> that will remind you of your devotion far into your future together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
