💡 Expert Proposal Tips
✅ Do's:
- Make it Personal: Choose location meaningful to your relationship
- Consider Their Preferences: Public vs private, simple vs elaborate
- Time it Right: Golden hour (sunset) provides best lighting & romance
- Have Backup Plan: Weather, crowds, or other issues may arise
- Practice Your Words: Know what you'll say but stay flexible
- Involve Loved Ones: If they'd appreciate family/friends present
❌ Don'ts:
- Don't Surprise with Ring Style: Ensure they'll love the ring (subtle hints or shopping together)
- Don't Propose on Major Holidays: Valentine's, Christmas feel cliché; choose unique date
- Don't Make it Too Public: Unless you're certain they want audience
- Don't Rush: Take time to plan; rushed proposals feel less special
- Don't Forget the Ring: Sounds obvious but happens! Double-check before leaving
