Once you find The One and determine that you’re both ready for marriage, the only thing left for you to do is to propose. But how exactly will you do this? If you don’t know where to begin, here’s a list of the things you should do before popping the big question:

Get a ring

You can propose without a ring, but the experience would be more meaningful for you and your partner if you can slip a beautiful ring into her hand after she says “Yes”. To find the right ring, visit a jeweller who offers a wide selection of diamond engagement rings Brisbane. This way, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from and find the perfect engagement ring for your sweetheart.

If you’ve browsed through many rings and can’t find the right one, consider having a custom-designed ring. It’s more expensive, but it’s worth the price since you’ll have a unique engagement ring for your sweetheart.

Choose the right location

Don’t pop the question at just anywhere; to make your proposal more special, select a romantic and memorable location. For example, you can choose the restaurant where you had your first date, or the park where you had your first kiss.

Hire a photographer

Your proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so you’ll want to immortalise the moment through high-quality pictures. Hiring a professional photographer won’t be cheap, but it’s the best way to capture your partner’s reaction when you pull out the ring and get on a bended knee.

Talk to her family

Many women feel that it’s a nice gesture for their partners to ask their parents’ permission to propose. At the very least, doing this would let you score points with your future parents-in-law and build a good foundation for your relationship with them.

Decide on what to say

You can write a whole speech if that’s your thing. If it’s not, at least jot down a rough outline of what you want to say. The actual proposal can leave you nervous and sweaty, so having a clear idea of how you’ll pop the question can greatly help.

Make your proposal a success by preparing well ahead and using the tips above!
