Wedding proposals should be something that both parties will remember for the rest of their lives and this is why it is important to do it the right way. There are many different ways that you can propose but these tips have proven to be some of the best that I have found.

Do it alone in a special spot Many women and men love it when it is just the two of them together. Proposing in a location that means something to both of you is very important. Picking a spot such as one that you two had your first date at or where you first met is a great location.

What type of proposal
There are many different types of proposals such as the traditional one knee proposal or the proposal where you simply slip it into her drink and pray that she doesn't swallow it. The funniest proposal that I have heard about was when one guy started an argument and in the heat of the moment, pulled out a ring and said "dang, I just wanted to give you this", the girl was stunned and the guy started laughing.

Expensive or not expensive some of the best proposals are the least expensive ones. The ring is sort of what counts when you are proposing but so is the location in which you proposed and how you did it. I don't know what it is but there is something romantic about the beach and lake. Some of the best proposals have been done with no money included except what was spent on the ring.

If you can't be alone or don't want to be you should never ask the big question unless you already know the answer to it. If you don't want to be alone then you can do it by simply placing the ring in front of her plate before everyone is seated. This is a romantic way of asking her. If you really want to go the distance you can have the chef to make a cake with the word "will you marry me" spelled on top of it with the ring on it and have them to place it in front of her. This isn't just magical it is a moment that she will never forget.

Love notes aren't just for grade school Love notes can be a great way to ask someone but some may view this as a cheesy way of asking someone to marry you. Instead of doing the average thing you could send her on a scavenger hunt through a house or some place special with the ring at the end. My husband did this too me on Christmas with a pair of diamond earrings and each time I found another note, there was a small gift attached until I got to the real gift.
