#1 Put a ring on your unique engagement proposal
Most future husbands and wives choose a ring to symbolise the engagement. After all, a ring
has no beginning and no end, it’s timeless and an endearing representation of your love to wear
for the rest of your life.
How you can find a unique engagement ring:
●Tell the jeweller about your partner. What’s his/her characteristics, what suits him/her,
what are his/her values in life. A good jeweller can find you the perfect ring that
resembles your fiance or even create a custom-made ring.
●Observe your partner’s jewellery. What materials does your partner like to wear. Is it
mainly gold, silver, diamonds, pearls, gemstones.
●See if you can secretly ‘borrow’ one of your partner's rings to get the right size.
●Bring your fiances closest friend or relative. Friends or family can be of great help to
determine your fiances taste and help pick the ring of his/her dreams.

Now it is time to pick the right date and time for your engagement proposal. If you chose an outdoor
Now it is time to pick the right date and time for your engagement proposal. If you chose an outdoor
location, keep in mind that seasonal changes and times of daylight can have a big influence on
your schedule.
Tip: Some people choose a date that is very significant for both of you: the first date, the date
you met etc.
And a final tip: In case you choose to propose to your partner during a holiday or weekend
away, please don’t plan your proposal on the first day of the trip. Allow you and your partner to
rest after a (long) journey. Besides, delayed flights or lost luggage can sometimes let your well-
prepared proposal go up in smoke. Planning your proposal a little later in your holidays gives
you time to organise and prepare all the last minute details of your engagement proposal.

An engagement is a moment you would like to share forever. Unfortunately most engagements
only get captured after the big “Would you marry me?”.
Consider hiring a professional photographer or videographer to document the moment so you
have it for the rest of your life. It will enable you both to be completely in the moment and
enjoy every single second of it.
Another great plus of hiring a professional photographer or videographer is that you can use theimages for the “save the date” invitations.
