Are you ready to ask your soulmate’s hand in marriage? Is your marriage proposal all prepped and planned? Well, hold your horses before you head out of the door! Because it’s crucial to make sure that essential bits and bobs are on you. From your romantic speech and engagement ring to your celebratory extras and playlist, we’ve listed down everything you must have with you for the momentous time.
Here is your ultimate marriage proposal checklist before you kneel down with an engagement ring in hand.
Plan
The most significant thing is to have a proposal plan, a unique, creative, and romantic one! Try to think about what sort of marriage proposal will work best for both of you. Would your partner like something more cozy, casual yet romantic, like a dinner for two at the fancy restaurant where you first met? Think about all the available options.
The way you pop “will you marry me?” is entirely up to you, but just be sure you’ve got a perfect plan in place and have thought ahead about every detail.
Engagement Ring
Keeping the engagement ring you chose for the love of your life is quite obvious, but it’d be highly embarrassing to show up to your marriage proposal without the engagement ring. Before leaving the house, make sure the precious is securely stowed away in the ring box.
It’s best to keep it in your jacket pocket so that it doesn’t go missing before you have the chance to melt away your future bride’s heart.
PlayList
It is mandatory to have a fantastic soundtrack or a romantic playlist on a wedding proposal! It’s suggested to keep a wireless speaker (fully charged) so that you can connect your phone and give your marriage proposal that perfect ambiance.
Remember, if you’re going to ask the question at a fancy restaurant or any other public place, it’s best to touch with the staff beforehand to put in your song request(s) and discuss all the details, such as timing.
Romantic Speech
Since it will be a raw and emotional moment, the chances are high that you will feel nervous. In such a case, it’s a good idea to have your thoughts written down on paper to know exactly what you will say.
Professional Photographer
Some couples prefer to keep their marriage proposal totally private, while others want every moment documented so that they can re-experience the memories over and over again. If you fall under the latter category, hire a wedding photographer or ask a friend to hide away and secretly capture the most-awaited moment. If you feel okay with bringing another person into the picture, then it’s best to arrive early to the location you will propose and set up a camera!
Phone Battery
Unsurprisingly, you would want to let your friends and family know that your soulmate said yes almost as soon as it becomes official, so be sure you have your phone with you. You’ll be able to call your close ones to let them know there’s a wedding on the horizon and take a few couple photographs for your engagement announcement on social media.
In a Nutshell
With your pure intention to embark on a new life journey with your one and only and the above-mentioned marriage proposal checklist, we assure you that nothing will go wrong!
However, before you start planning your wedding proposal, make sure that you and your partner are on the same page!
