Autumn and the dark months of the year are the time when many brides-to-be receive the long-awaited question from their grooms "will you become my wife?". The happy name, the excitement, the nostalgia, followed by the wedding planning fever and more emotions. That is why the proposal should be such that in all the later challenges, it creates pleasant memories.

LĪGAVĀM recommends learning from the most common mistakes to make the proposal even better than planned.

A must have ring!

Unfortunately, one of the most common mistakes grooms make is proposing without a ring. Of course, love and desire spending the rest of your life together is more important than a ring, but not having it could leave the bride disappointed.

Unless the proposal is very spontaneous (but even then you can come up with a great alternative to the ring, which later exchange for the real one), the ring must be. Arguments "I don't know what kind of ring she would like" or "I don't know her the size of a finger" does not stand up to criticism, because if you carefully prepare for the proposal and know your bride, then completely you will surely find a way to answer these questions as well.

Do not run ahead of time

It is a misconception that a woman will be ready to say "yes" to a proposal at any moment.

She also needs the assurance that she has not only met the right person, but also that the right moment has come. Exactly therefore, it is quite daring to propose before both of you have gone through various challenges and difficulties together and before the bride-to-be has given obvious hints that she is ready for such a step.

None of the grooms would like to receive the answer "I'll think about it" instead of the expected "yes" when proposing, therefore, the right moment is sometimes as important as the right person.

In the end, she will not only remember how the proposal happened all her future life, but will also want to share in this story with those around you, closest friends, relatives and family. As well as, together with your partner, further in the future, to remember it with positive memories, because at that moment an important decision in life is made that drives it in the future.

Therefore, even if there is confidence that her only answer will be "yes" and there is a feeling that the ring box is "burning" the pocket, I would like to put it on her finger sooner, there is something special and unique about waiting and preparing the right venue, which cannot be repeated again. And devoting a small amount of time to it, to really enjoy this moment so that it lasts remembered as one of the most pleasant events in life.

Be careful with public proposals

If the proposal is planned to be made publicly (at a big event, in the presence of friends, relatives), then the groom must for the unshakable belief that the bride will like it and she will appreciate it. Even if the bride is extroverted, centered on attention and she likes to be around people, does not mean that she one of the most important "yes" in her life will want to say in front of other people.

It should be understood that the bride may not be able to fully enjoy the beautiful event, because she will feel like she is on stage. Maybe instead to plan a public proposal with hundreds of people in the audience, the questions will be much more sincere and romantic express in a special place for both of you, like a first date location?

Keep your intentions secret

For grooms who have already received their wedding vows, it seems that one of the most important "don'ts" is bragging and telling other people about the upcoming proposal.

Of course, you can think that the people to whom the groom has entrusted his intention and plan to accomplish it will never reveal it to the bride, however, word travels at the speed of the wind, and you definitely don't want to end up in a situation where the bride is learns about the possible proposal from a friend or family member. Even if the proposal goes as planned, the bride might later be disappointed that everyone close to her already knew before her, thus missing out on the surprise for the moment.
