\"marriageAvoiding Common Proposal Mistakes<\/h2>\n

Proposing marriage to that special someone is a moment (and story) that will be re-lived and repeated for many years to come. When you\u2019re ready to pop the big question, it\u2019s easy for nerves to get in the way, even among the most confident of suitors. A marriage proposal does not have to be 100 percent Hollywood perfect. You may forget or stumble over words, or get rained on during the moment, but aspiring fianc\u00e9s can and should avoid these common proposal mistakes.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t make it special<\/h2>\n

In all likelihood, she has probably envisioned this life-changing moment for a very long time. When planning out a marriage proposal, you want to make it special and meaningful to her. Put some effort into the plan, even if you\u2019re not the romantic type. Do something that caters to her preferences, her favorite places, favorite foods and memories of you together. Popping the question doesn\u2019t have to be overly complicated, but it does need to be thoughtful.<\/p>\n

You propose in front of an audience<\/h2>\n

Your loved one may adore sappy, romantic gestures, but unless she also like public displays of affection and tons of attention, the idea of a public proposal (in front of family, friends or strangers) may seem mortifying. According to a survey by bridal authority website the Knot, most women felt proposing in public was one of the biggest blunders.<\/p>\n

Letting the cat out of the bag<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s great that you want to share your plans with your closest friends and family. But be careful about blabbing to too many people. An impending marriage proposal makes for juicy gossip, and loose lips can spread the news fast. This increases the chances your loved one will find out your secret, and even if she doesn\u2019t, she probably won\u2019t appreciate it if she finds out that everyone knew before she did.<\/p>\n

You ask empty-handed<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t forget the engagement ring<\/a>! Proposing with no ring is the number one proposal faux pas, according to the female universe. The ring is a declaration of your love and commitment, and many women may feel that a proposal isn\u2019t complete (or legitimate) without a dazzling diamond ring<\/a> to show for it. Make sure the ring is appropriately sized for your future bride and keep it in a safe place until you\u2019re ready to ask. If a surprise proposal isn\u2019t in the works, engagement ring-shopping together is a terrific way to ensure you get what she likes.<\/p>\n
