Popping the question is a huge moment for any couple, and most of the time, it\u2019s down to the proposer to get it just right. The pressure!<\/p>\n
So what are those all-important things that go through every man\u2019s mind before proposing?<\/p>\n
Himself<\/p>\n
Before speaking the official words of \u2018Will you marry me\u2019 to his loved one, there\u2019s no doubt that his mind will be thinking ahead to a married future, picturing how it will actually be; him as an actual husband, and her as a wife. And if you don\u2019t already have any little kiddies in the family, he\u2019ll be picturing himself as a dad. Sounds pretty grown up, right?<\/p>\n
Another thing that will inevitably enter his mind is what has to happen before becoming Mr and Mrs<\/a>: the wedding! Envisioning himself at the top of the aisle as his soon-to-be fianc\u00e9e walks towards him is a pretty big moment, and pretty powerful stuff when it comes to emotions \u2013 it may even help him think of what to say!<\/p>\n The parents<\/p>\n Even though asking the father of the bride for permission is more of a tradition than common practice these days, the parents of the bride would probably appreciate a little hint into the fact that this guy might be the one to marry their daughter. It\u2019s good to bare the parents in mind, just a bit!<\/p>\n But then again, all men should know perfectly well that from the moment they meet the parents and onwards, it\u2019s all about trying to impress. And there\u2019s definitely no point in calming down on the \u2018impressive\u2019 factor when it comes to the proposal story, is there?<\/p>\n The ring<\/p>\n It\u2019s common for couples to discuss the idea of getting married before popping the question, so the proposal doesn\u2019t come as a total surprise. But maybe the ring shouldn\u2019t come as a total surprise either? The ring is something she\u2019ll wear for the rest of her life, remember!<\/p>\n Walking into a shop and choosing a diamond ring isn\u2019t the easiest task for the typical man. You can most likely picture your significant other saying \u2018A ring\u2019s a ring, why does the cut matter so much?\u201d, but any talk of getting married will change their mind (we hope).<\/p>\n Doing some digging into what kind of ring she may like to have on her finger after the proposal is something that will save men a lot of shopping time, and maybe even some nerves by the time it comes round to popping the question.<\/p>\n The friends<\/p>\n Something that\u2019s really important for men to consider when they\u2019re planning to propose is who they tell. They might want to keep it to themselves, but some might want some help or advice of his friends or the bride\u2019s friends \u2013 this is where he\u2019s got to be picky! He\u2019ll have to choose friends or family members that he knows will keep it on the hush hush, and stay well clear of blabber mouths!<\/p>\n The method<\/p>\n The next BIG question is HOW will he do it? This is where he\u2019ll have to consider everything about his fianc\u00e9e-to-be. Will she love a flash mob proposal or is she the kind of girl that cringes at the thought of a dance and sing-along? Is there a memorable date in your relationship that would be significant? Or is there a location that means a lot to you both?<\/p>\n Any proposal should make sure that the only word that\u2019s going around their head is \u2018YES\u2019! That means no sign of hesitation or an awkward face being pulled because of how he did it. A flash mob marriage proposal<\/a> to someone who hates PDA could make her re-evaluate; public humiliation may temporarily conquer how much she wants to marry him. You\u2019ve been warned!<\/p>\n The words<\/p>\n The words \u2018Will you marry me\u2019 won\u2019t necessarily naturally come into conversation \u2013 especially when the proposal is a total surprise, who knows how the conversation will go with an unsuspecting girlfriend! Whilst you can\u2019t plan everything, he should consider different ways of saying it and practice! It will help the nerves when it comes to it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Popping the question is a huge moment for any couple, and most of the time, it\u2019s down to the proposer to get it just right.
