Should You Propose?


We know, we know...Sandy did it! So do countless other real life women. Yet, proposing to your boyfriend still carries a bit of a stigma. Ladies are told that as a rule, you wait for the guy to come to you with the BIG question. But, as we move well beyond the 21st century, many women are finding that rule not as important as it used to be...

If you're a girl in love who wants to be the one inviting her dude down the aisle, this blog's for you! We've gathered a list of the top ways to propose to your man...and get him to say yes!

..As if he wasn't going to anyway...

Proposal Secret #1: Make sure you're ready! If you're feeling any uncertainty, wait. On the other hand, if you feel you two are more than ready-to-wed, move forward.

Proposal Secret #2: Be honest! Are you popping the question because you're afraid to be ringless at thirty or because you can't see the next thirty years without him? If you're wanting to get married for any reason other than unconditional love, step back and examine your motives a bit. Chances are, if you're honest about his place in your life and in your future, the odds that he's on the same page will be significantly higher

Proposal Secret #3: Buy him a gift! Get yourself one too! Don't expect or demand for him to run out and get you an engagement ring. Instead, find matching pendants or I.D. bracelets and present those to him as a meaningful representation of your love you both can wear until the wedding day.

Proposal Secret #4: Plan It Well. This tip can relate to anything from making sure the logistics (time, place) are all in order, to having a unique proposal theme (taking him to the scene of your first cup of coffee together) This is the most important question you'll ever ask...Do it Right!

When he accepts your proposal, (and who wouldn't!) Check out the Premier Bride website for vendors, wedding planners, photographers and more!
