Sand Dune Proposal

Where I live, there’s a large sand dune next to the highway that always has some type of message written on it in sea weed…my wife’s favorite part of our drive is to see what people have written on the dune.

On a Sunday night, I told her I was taking her brother and his friends to a local arcade, but instead, we went to the dune and wrote “Marry Me Brenda.”–she passed by it on her way to work and she called me when she got to work and told me what the dune said. 

When she got home, I asked her if she wanted to, and she put her arms around me and said “you betcha,” and I gave her a ring. We have pictures of the message on the side of the dune, and it makes a great story.

Preparing for an Engagement

In preparing for an engagement proposal, you should plan in advance and not have an abrupt event for entering in a long time relationship and commitment. Although there are abrupt proposals, if you want it be memorable, you should prepare for it…and although there are now event coordinators, which can help you get through this, for sure your partner will very much appreciate it if you personally think about this time and special event.

You have to physically prepare yourself and the things you need and a lot of things are to be considered…the venue, the ambiance you want to have, and your partners feelings before your proposal is very important–your engagement proposal must be related with you and your partner as a couple.

It is better to propose with personal touches…think of the romantic places you went to and enjoyed, favorite things or activities you both love to do, your favorite music, food and color and of course do not forget the flowers and the ring– in a proposal both of them go together.

Some suggestions are to do this during a vacation or on a dinner date with your favorite music playing inn the background and placing the ring on her favorite food, or after your awaited movie…the more creative you can be with your proposal the more memorable it will be, just do not forget your personal touches at this special moment.
