7 DON’T’S OF MARRIAGE PROPOSALS

Hello handsome. How have you been? Have you proposed yet? Or are you waiting until this pandemic is over? Maybe Bae is in faraway London, California, Africa or just a different state or country and you haven’t been able to reach him/ her. (I feel your pain. Believe me.) And that is why http://proposingtoher.blogspot.com/2020/05/how-to-propose-during-this-pandemic.html post is there to help you. 

However, if you decide to muster up the courage (Rest assured she will say yes), make sure, I mean, make sure to be sure (if this makes sense, then my next words will): be certain these things are part of your proposal.

 I mean, do not ever (I mean; never you fail to do these things you are about to read) because it is damn important to us. (yes. US. I said that out loud)

Maybe you don’t know. 

Let me educate you; there are some things a girl wants to see in her proposal (and yes. Its hers)

 If she doesn’t see those things, it doesn’t mean she will say no, but she will tease you for the rest of your life (Ha-ha, not bad right?) still not good. Help her achieve all she wants and she gets to tell the world that her man “left no stone unturned on that day.”

Without further ado, shall we?

Number 1 on that list is:

DO NOT FORGET THE RING

I mean, the most important part of the event is when you bring out that sparkly rock or simple band, with that expression on your face that mirrors the love you have for her. So, tell me, why, just why the heck, will you check your pocket for it and not find it? 

So, dude, just to prevent stories that touches the heart, cause the last guy who tried that, bless his soul… (I leave that to your imaginations). Make sure the ring is kept safe. Do not lose it in the bus, mountain climbing… do not even take it out. Let it be safely locked away. Snap a picture if you must show a few people.

DON’T FORGET THE CAMERA

 If you’ve managed to plan the day, and you forget the camera, then how do you want to keep memories? The essence of the camera is to keep memories so we watch and watch and watch again and awnnnnn all we like (LADIES LOVE TO GET TEARY OVER STUFFS LIKE THAT. And yes. I wrote that in caps). Get a secret camera and make sure it is well-hidden, or get someone to use their nice phone camera, better still, go big and hire a photographer. 

DO NOT PROPOSE WITHOUT A RING

 I know it’s possible you might get an inspiration at the heat of the moment, probably you looked into her eyes or she’s done you something good and you feel your heart flutter, and you are like damn! I can’t let her go. I need to propose and you go BAM! Let’s get married… scratch that. 

DO NOT TRY THAT!! I REPEAT!! DO NOT TRY THAT. 

Now that we are on the same page, if you get an inspiration to propose, calm your horses and hold till you at least get a ring. Borrow one, make it, just make sure there’s one. You can get a more expensive one and a proper fit later. 

DO NOT FORGET THE WINE NOR THE FLOWERS

 They might look unimportant... Did I just say that? Unread please. If they are unimportant to you, then don’t even go down on that knee. The wine is important just as much as the flower. In case you don’t know. If it calls for a celebration, then you need a wine. Your flowers just make her go awnnnnn so thoughtful of him (Do you feel me?)

DON’T TELL EVERYONE

 I know you are excited and you probably smiled so much all day / weeks leading up to the proposal day but whatever you do soldier, do not tell all and sundry what’s up with you. Do not tell every single friend, family and followers if you want your marriage proposal to remain a secret. What’s that saying again? Too many cooks spoil the broth? When everybody knows, the news might get to her, before you propose. 

DON’T SPILL THE SECRET

The exciting things about a proposal is the element of surprise. That moment when you tell her turn around and she does so, only to find you on your knees … and she goes…

oh my God…oh my God…James are you about to…yes.

That’s the hype of it all. Do not let the cat out of the bag yet. If it’ll entail you staying away, then do so for a while.

DON’T UNDERESTIMATE WHAT YOU WEAR. 

Hey boy, you don’t want to propose to that stunning beauty looking like a homeless, Godforsaken… fill in the space.

Make sure you are well dressed, shaven and please smell nice. Wear a Tux if you must. It’s a special evening/ day so please dress the part.

Unfortunately, this will be where I’ll stop at for this post. (winks). Why don’t you check back for the DO’S in my next post? I’m sure with this you can create something beautiful already. I’ll be excited to hear your marriage proposal stories. Do share. Ciao.
