Morning All
Christmas is a time of love, family and giving. What better time is there to get engaged? By asking your darling to marry you during the holiday season, you are emphasizing even more how much you care about them and want to spend the most important moments of your life with them. The engagement ring is also an ideal Christmas gift.
Oftentimes it is the ones that you love the most that are the hardest to shop for, but an engagement ring is something they will love no matter what. When you choose the ring, make sure that it makes you think of them and they will think that it’s perfect. So we’ve established the good points of proposing around Christmas, but now it’s time to explore Christmas proposal ideas. How do you ask the most important question of your life and make it special and memorable? There are three things to keep in mind in order to pull off your proposal perfectly. Keep it intimate, involve the right people, and make it your own.
Sometimes it seems like a good idea to proclaim your love very publicly to prove your sincerity. The proposal is not the time for showing off though. At Christmas time especially, people tend to be family oriented. They want cozy evenings by the fire and hushed and pleasant conversations among the people that they love the most. In many parts of the country and most years, you can find snow at Christmas. One romantic possibility is to take your sweetheart out for a walk in the snow.
It softens the scenery and makes for a gorgeous backdrop to set the stage. Even better would be a moonlit walk through the snow. The light on the white carpet will light up the darkness just enough to create a mysteriously beautiful scene. Being alone together in such a magical setting will make the proposal of setting out in a new life together an even more concrete and thrilling idea than it would be otherwise.
Making a proposal intimate is certainly worthwhile, but it is also important to involve the right people. Considering involving the family is a definite possibility and will not intrude on the intimacy of the moment. If you and your love are close to your families, consider wrapping the ring as a gift. To make sure everyone is attentive, you and your future partner's father can arrange for that gift to be opened first. To increase the anticipation, try a miniature scavenger hunt. The first gift can be an envelope with a clue inside such as, “Under the Couch Cushion” or “You’re Favorite Childhood Toy.” Hide as many clues as you wish and make the last one, “The Person For you!” When they make their way back to you, be ready on one knee with a ring.
When you do decide how to propose, make some aspect of it your very own. If you take that walk in the snow, end up in a place that is significant to both of you, or go someplace neither of you have ever been. That way it will belong equally to each of you and will be a starting place for your life together. If you set up a Christmas Eve family scavenger hunt, make the clues significant to your relationship. When you finally ask, don’t simply say “Will you marry me?” Tell them exactly how you feel about them and ask them if they feel the same way about you. Don’t be afraid to let them talk and don’t forget to say “I love you.”
Christmas is a beautiful and magical time to propose marriage. Wherever and however you ask, just remember the three guidelines. Keep it intimate and make sure that you are able to clearly demonstrate the commitment you are offering. Don’t forget to involve the people who you care about and who care about you. While you don’t need to propose in front of the family, make sure that they know as soon as possible. Finally, make sure that you make the day, and especially the moment, memorable and specific to your relationship. Remember those three things and you’re sure to have an unforgettable proposal.
Take care
