Are you getting ready to propose to your sweetheart soon? Congratulations! It’s a big moment and a little preparation will go a long way.

 

Being vocal with your intentions and popping the big question “Will you marry me?” is the most important part of the proposal.

 

To achieve the perfect proposal, you would have to practice and put some things in place so you can wow your partner.

 

Below are practical steps and things you should do before you propose.

 

1. Think thoroughly

Before you write anything down or really think about what you want to say. Take a trip down memory lane, reflecting on your relationship and your love story. Remember how you met and fell in love, and relive your happiest memories.

 

Pinpoint the things that really make your relationship work. Ask yourself what you love and respect most about your partner, and how your lives together have evolved.

 

Use these memories and characteristics to jump-start the proposal process.

2. Write it down and practice

Just like a toast at a wedding, write all your words down on paper. Many people think they will know what they want to say at the moment but may just lose their composure at the time they should be popping the question.

 

So, take the time to put it all in order and on paper, and then read it out loud until it starts to sound less rehearsed and more conversational.

 

This is a big moment in your life. Take time to practice in front of a mirror and make sure you sound heartfelt, yet polished.

3. Build Up to It

Now that you are both together at home or your favorite relaxation spot, your nerves may get the best of you but don’t cut to the chase.

 

Start your proposal with a story that captures the essence of your relationship. It could be the moment you realized you were in love or a funny story that always makes you both laugh.

 

Pick something that communicates what makes your relationship unique. Whatever you choose, make it count. A personal story will also keep your proposal really authentic to the two of you.

4. Show some emotion

No matter how much you practice in advance, it’s hard to prepare for the emotions of the day.

 

If you’re overcome with emotions, just roll with it. You can’t go wrong with speaking from the heart, and showing your vulnerability will make the moment even more beautiful.

5. Honor tradition

 

Now that you have succeeded in building emotions get down on one knee, with the ring box in your hand, and say the words ‘Will you marry me?.
