Choose a meaningful moment and place
Make sure you both are ready for marriage
Talk about your future together beforehand
Pick a ring that fits your partner’s style
Plan the proposal around your partner’s preferences
Keep the proposal sincere and personal
Decide whether to make it private or public
Practice what you want to say
Have a backup plan for weather or delays
Get help from a trusted friend if needed
Capture the moment if your partner would like that
Ask the question clearly and confidently
Celebrate together afterward
