The marriage proposal is one of the most exciting moments in any couples relationship. Whether youre asking the question, or answering yes, your heart is racing and the butterflies in your stomach are going crazy. Choosing to spend the rest of your life with someone is such a special decision - and that moment where the question is popped is one that youll never forget. While the traditional Down-on-One-Knee approach is always a safe bet, thinking of new and exciting ways to pop the question will always lead to a wonderful surprise on that important day. Ive listed some of my favorite unique marriage proposals below based on great stories Ive collected from a
wedding blog or two, and stories Ive heard through the wedding grape vine! 1) The Urban Apartment Street View Surprise Do you live in a city? Do you have a street view from your apartment? Then youre in the perfect position to try this fun proposal technique. Tell your bride-to-be that youll be working late, or are headed out of town, and not to wait up. Then, in the early morning, head out and write, Will You Marry Me? in sidewalk chalk out side of the apartment. Wake your dearest up with breakfast in bed or a hot cup of coffee and ask her to take a look out the window, just be ready for when she drops the coffee cup in surprise! 2) The Call in Show - If you know that your girlfriend listens to the same morning drive everyday in to work, or the same radio shows every week in the afternoons or the evenings, then this super surprising twist on popping the question is an awesome choice. During the time that you know your lady will be listening, call in to the station and ask them to announce the question over the air waves, and ask her to call in with her answer. To put the icing on the cake, dedicate your song to her and have it ready to play for after the proposal. 3) The Extreme Sport Proposal - Perfect for the thrill-seeking couple, I found this really fun proposal idea on one of my favorite wedding blogs. First of all, plan exactly where you want to land. You will need the aid of professional skydivers for this one. Once you have that all organized, make sure you have a friend or a relative waiting down with your ring (no sense risking the ring getting blown away while youre in the air). Obviously, you have to take the first jump. While waiting for your soon-to-be-spouse to jump after, you have a bit of time to sort yourself out and have the ring all ready. When your special someone finally lands, you can congratulate them on the feat, kneel on the ground and pop the question. Talk about adrenaline rush! 4) The storyteller - This is an awesome proposal idea for the literary-minded out there. Create a diary or a small book for your soon-to-be fiance that tells the story of your relationship. Choose important dates from your relationship and lay them out in a timeline or a plot. In your last entry, or final paragraph write about how you gave them the book and how you proposed at the same time. When she looks up in surprise, have the ring ready and tell her that the story cant be finished until you have an answer! Winner every time! 5) The Theme Park - If you and your special someone love theme parks, and youre excited to ask her to marry you, those two things need to be combined. Tell her on one of the roller coasters that you want to hold hands the entire ride (you can also just take her hand if you like). When upside down or right before going down a big hill, tell her you want her to marry you. When you get off of the coaster, get down on one knee and present the ring! 6) The Bad Tan - If youre thinking of proposing to your girlfriend and you want there to be some humor involved, head to the beach a day or two before proposing with your best friends. Write Will You Marry Me on your stomach with a high-spf suntan lotion. Go bake in the sun for a few hours and let the writing set in. Later, when youre with your special someone at a pool party or just alone, you can take off your shirt and exclaim, man, got a really weird tan when we went to the beach the other day! 7) The Elaborate Scheme - This unique proposal concept has endless possibilities. Whether its setting up dominos that when knocked down end up spelling Will You Marry Me, or organizing a broadway style synchronized song-and-dance with seemingly random people in public to pull off the task - an elaborate scheme has the potential to make an incredible impact on your bride-to-be, and will be the most surprising. This is one of my favorite
elaborate schemes where the man organized a faux public art exhibit in order to propose to his love. 8) The Michael Myers - If youre planning an autumn proposal, tell your loved one that you want to carve pumpkins for halloween. When you get together to carve - tell her that you have a surprise and that you dont want her to see the pumpkin until youre done. Carve Marry Me (Will You is optional) into the pumpkin and place the ring inside. 9) The Alphabet Soup - This idea is fairly simple, but still makes the proposal more secret and unique then the traditional approach. You can do it in soup, with refrigerator magnets, or with game pieces - the idea is that you will spell out will you marry me, with some unique objects. Theres a great picture on this wedding blog of a
marriage proposal with tea lights - looks absolutely beautiful. 10) The Word Game - One of the simplest proposal ideas. On a quiet evening alone with your loved one - propose to play a game of hang man. Let her go first, and then when its your turn, spell out Will You Marry Me. When she wins, do the knee thing, and present the ring!About the Author:
