You’ve found that special person with whom you want to spend the rest of your life, and you would like to make the perfect proposal. You don’t have to spend a great deal of time to make a special engagement as long as you convey your feelings.
The Proposal
Every couple has different tastes, but as a rule, try not to make the occasion awkward by announcing it to the whole world while you are proposing. Truth be told, you should already be quite certain you know the answer before you ask it. Make it a personal event and tell your loved one exactly why you want to spend your life with them. Give him or her specific examples of how they swept you off your feet and changed your life. You can make your proposal even more meaningful if you talk about your future plans and dreams as a couple.
The Engagement Period
The engagement period shouldn’t just be a countdown to the main event. There are an overwhelming number of items to take care of, but this should also be a period to celebrate your love. Don’t forget the other special people in your life either. Your parents, siblings and close friends want to celebrate with you, so keep them involved in your planning ideas and decisions. Take the time to thank your parents for the role they have played in your life.
The Ring
One of the most important purchases you make during this time is the special engagement ring. Your choice should demonstrate the special bond and commitment you are making. If you are unsure about your loved one’s preferences, ask their family or friends for suggestions. You can even go ring shopping together if you haven’t presented a ring at the proposal.
Custom diamond engagement rings are a great way to show your love. When you take the time to create a design that is your very own, you are showing your spouse-to-be how much you care. The ring doesn’t need to be elaborate, but it should allow your personality to shine through. There are so many options available. You can select a band using a variety of metals, including gold, white gold and silver. Diamonds are the traditional precious gem of choice but other stones like emerald, sapphire or ruby can create a one-of-a-kind ring as well.
Your loved one deserves a personal and special engagement to show them just how much you care. You are also creating memories to share forever.
