Top 5 Most Romantic Wedding Proposals
Wedding proposals are as varied as the brides and grooms themselves. Some of the most romantic proposals involve serious planning, often involving accomplices such as the bride or groom's friends and family.
5. Recreate your first date or other favorite moments. Take her on a tour to your special spots around town, pointing out all the magical memories you've created together, whether it was your first kiss, watching the city's Christmas tree lighting, or other favorite memories. End the evening with either an old favorite location or find a new place, sure to become your next favorite memory.
4. A friend of mine was an avid golfer, as was her boyfriend. They were playing a round of golf one day, and she was prepared to walk away from a chip shot, assuming he would just let her count it as good, which they'd occasionally done in the past. That day, however, he insisted that she finish the hole. Irritated, she sank the putt, bent to retrieve her ball, only to find that he'd hidden her diamond ring in the cup.
3. A fun proposal that I witnessed involved a Denver Nuggets NBA game. No, he didn't spell it out on the scoreboard. Instead, at halftime, the Nuggets announced that she had been chosen to participate in the halftime competition. If she could sink a free throw blindfolded, she would win two round trip tickets to anywhere in the world. She didn't sink the shot, but when she pulled off her blindfold, her boyfriend was kneeling in front of her in a tux, holding the open ring box.
2. Create a scavenger hunt. One event had the prospective bride driving all over town revealing clues one at a time. It takes a good sport or someone suspicious there's a good payoff at the end, but this bride spent the whole day unravelling the clues, eventually leading to a limousine that had a gift wrapped evening gown and shoes, whisking her away to a romantic restaurant where her boyfriend was waiting with the ring.
1. My favorite involved the man "impulsively" suggesting to his girlfriend that they take a drive up to their cabin in the mountains. Once there, he suggested taking a hike down to the lake. It was dark and cold, but she decided to be a good sport. While walking through the woods he switched off the flashlight, leaving them in total darkness. For a second, anyway. As soon as the lights went off, his accomplice hit the power switch, revealing the thousands of strands of fairy lights strung throughout the trees, and their special song began playing on a hidden stereo, as he dropped to his knees and proposed.
