Sex and the City fans will remember the episode when Charlotte suggests to Trey that they get married.  When Trey responds with "all righty", Charlotte is left with the feeling that she proposed to herself. She complains to Carrie "What am I going to tell my kids? Well Mommy really wanted to get married so she asked Daddy and Daddy said all righty."

The point is that your future bride will be telling the story of how you proposed for many years to come, so you'd better make it memorable!

 

YouTube is full of proposal videos.  Some are clever and cute, some not so much.  There's the "10 things I love about you" video which is heartfelt and well done. ( Don't try this yourself unless you can carry a tune along with the ring!)  There was the live proposal on the "So You Think You Can Dance" show, a proposal at the Trevi Fountain in Italy, Disney, the Grand Canyon, etc.  You get the picture.  The common denominator in all of these proposals was the element of surprise.  So whether you take her back to the place where you had your first date or first kiss, do your best to surprise her and put some thought into it. 

 

Feel free to email me your own proposal stories and I'll post them on our Facebook Page! andrea@creatifevents.com

 

Meanwhile, I hope she says "YES"!
