Making your engagement proposal a lasting memory

The traditional "on bended knee" proposal is tame and predictable, most women prefer a more creative marriage proposal. A unique proposal will stay with her forever, and the memory of a traditional one will fade over time. Traditional proposals aren't for everyone. If fact most would agree the engagement must be unique to the couple and to make that event special and memorable you must remember these three key elements: Setting, Ring, and of course the big question.  The key to making your engagement memorable is to make one of these three factors a surprise and the more surprises you can throw at her the bigger engagement memory becomes.

Setting: You need to pick a surprise location for the future bride to be. Keeping the setting a surprise will not give her any time to think forward and know what your about to ask her.

Ring: Once you show the ring it becomes the center of attention. If you use a unique ring or keep it in a unique box or location it will add to the element of surprise. Hiding the ring in a box that doesn't look like a ring box.

Or if the secret gets out it is important that the ones helping you also help to try and change the subject or not give too much information away.

Recreations

Every couple has a special location. Where they first met, first date, favorite movie or even a special hobby they both enjoy.  Making a unique proposal can be as simple as recreating one of these events.

Warnings about going to far

Before popping the question in the most unique way it is important to know your woman will consider an over the top proposal to be romantic. A woman who treasures tradition might not appreciate this type of proposal, whereas a traditional woman who values spontaneity may enjoy an outrageous event. Unique marriage proposals must be carefully laid out and judged carefully, you don't want the bride to be to question if the potential groom really knows her. Done properly a unique and creative proposal can be an exciting and memorable moment in the couple's relationship as they start a new life together.
