Romantic Marriage Proposals or "How do I Propose marriage In a romantic way?"

Most women agree that they were disappointed with the way their boyfriend proposed. They secretly felt it lacked romance on what should be the start of the journey to the church altar.

Lets face it the marriage proposal is going to be the beginning of the plans would be making for what should be a lifetime commitment to each other.  But if that marriage proposal does not invoke romantic memories and ideas what will the rest of the wedding planning journey bring?

Fellas — as one man to another — don't just blurt out your marriage proposal so it comes across to her as a side thought or throwaway line. You want her to say yes, don't you?

In that case let her see that you have put some thought into the matter and give her a proposal that she will remember and boost about to her girlfriends for years afterwards. When a girl boosts about that wonderful romantic proposal of marriage you made to her she is strengthening her inner feelings for you. If she — even mentally —  is thinking that your marriage proposal had no life in it no feelings she is emotionally weakening her feelings for you.

Dropping hints of marriage will not cut any ice in a list of romantic marriage proposals — so don't even go down that route even if you think you are only testing the water to get an idea of her reaction. It is not worth it and will take the surprise out of that special occasion.

Girls in case you thought I was being sexist above I honestly believe that there is nothing wrong in a girl proposing marriage when she is sure of her feelings. Some men will never work up the courage to say the things that are on their mind.

But what can make a marriage proposal romantic and memorable for years to come? What situations will almost guarantee a romantic memory for ever? To some extent that is is something that no-one else can work for you without asking a lot of questions about her (or his) likes and dislikes, the things they already love to do! What situations or places do they commonly do? What have they always dreamed of doing?

No book on its own can do that for you but you can read about how others have done it and adapt (or even steal) an idea that has been proved a marriage proposal can be romantic and memorable.  Michael has pulled together one of the best collections of marriage proposals I have ever come across. He has drawn upon the stories of over 7,000 marriage proposals submitted by other to select the best 100.  Just reading them will spark off ideas about how they can be adapted to make your marriage proposal the best that has ever made.
