Popping the BIG Question
Proposals have been on my mind lately mainly because one of my
best friends, Jenna, just got engaged!! I’m so happy for her and her fiancé, Derrike.
They are super excited to start a new chapter in their lives together. And I’m
so happy for them!
While proposals are on my mind I have been thinking about
all the planning, time and not to mention money guys or girls (it is the 21st
century) put into preparing the perfect proposal. So I did some research on many
ways people can propose to the love of their life. Of course my first source
was YouTube, I typed in the search bar - cute proposals. After balling my eyes
out because of how adorable and meaningful these proposals were I had to move
on. As continuing I found out that there
isn’t a right or a wrong way to propose, but if you’re planning a proposal read
on. Here are some cute and clever ways of popping the big question.
- Scavenger hunt
- Flash mob
- Confessing your love
Now we see – especially on YouTube the scavenger hunt
proposal. I’m not saying that this is not a cute and romantic way of proposing
because I think it’s adorable. I think if the significant other can make the other
work a little harder for that ring I say go for it. The scavenger hunt can go
either a public sort of way or a private personal way.
To make it a public way you would send your significant
other out in on town to accomplish little tasks such as going shopping for an
outfit, getting lunch with his/her friends that you've already planned in
advance. Every step they meet up with someone they know such as mutual friends,
their friends, or even family members. In the end you have prepared them for
your proposal.
As for the private setting you can send them around the
house looking for clues that would remind them of you along the way.
Either proposal with the scavenger hunt is always a fun and
exciting way to get your partner moving around. Plus it reaches the inner child
of them by making them playing a cute little game.
I actually didn't know that this was a big thing until this
week. A flash mob proposal would consist of having a community of people
participating in your proposal. They would be dancing around in unison and
entertaining your future fiancé before popping the question. This is obviously
a VERY public proposal. Which can be a lot of fun and I would assume a ton of
planning. If you just feel like screaming at the top of your lungs to inform
the whole world how much you love your significant other, the flash mob
proposal would be for you. If your
partner is into great entertainment, and being part of the community, go for
it. The bigger the better, right!?
Obviously a proposal is all about telling the other person
how much they mean to you and not seeing a day without them in your life. The
confessing your love proposal is more of an intimate proposal. With this you
can prepare poetry, or a speech that will express all of the emotions you feel
for that person. This is how Derrike proposed to Jenna. He took her on a walk
that overlooked a lake climbed up on a bolder and confessed his love for her.
Although I wouldn't put it past him to want to scream at the top of his lungs to
express his love for her, the intimate setting I believe suited their
relationship the best.
All in all no matter how elaborate or planned the proposal
is it’s all about the love between two people who are taking the next step. Whether
it’s making your significant other work just a little harder for that ring or
telling them how much you love them while overlooking a lake. It’s all about
the two of you wanting to spend the rest of your lives together, forever and
always.
Congratulations Jenna and Derrike!!
And
To all who are engaged!
HAPPY PLANNING!!
