Here are some interesting ways that can give you some ideas on how to prepare your proposal. It is one of the most important moments in people’s lives, so make sure it’s special.
1.Public proposals – the best way to impress your future fiancée in front of an audience.

Choose a big event like a concert or sports game and prepare everything ahead of time. You can arrange to go on stage after a romantic song on a concert and ask your partner to marry you or you can ask the cameraman at a game to catch her on camera and ask her through the big screen. Whichever way you choose, make sure she is going to say yes because with public proposals there is no turning back.
2.Destination proposals – a romantic and memorable way to ask the question.
There are different ways to do it here too. You can arrange it over a romantic dinner, or maybe do it on an intimate beach dinner accompanied with music and candles on the sand. One very impressive way is to make a sand castle together and put the ring on the highest tower while she is not looking. How cute is that! This will make her laugh but will also make her accept in tears.
3.Food-related proposals – another creative way to propose.

There is an endless list to make foodie proposal but, according to me, these might catch your attention. When in a restaurant, you can ask the waiter to bring the tray with desserts with the ring box among them. That way she can choose the sweet delight herself. Another even more romantic way is to ask a baker to make a cake with a frosting writing saying “Will you marry me?” He will display the cake and the two of you will “accidentally” stop in front of the shop. Now that is what I call a thoughtful and creative man.
4.Online proposals – a new modern way to be “the guy that proposed in front of the WORLD”, literally.
There are countless social media that can help you implement your idea. Some of the apps can help you live stream the proposal. It’s not that public, and all your closest friends and family can be part of your special moment. Hashtags are also super popular so you can just share a photo of you with the ring including the hashtag #justsayyes or #willyoumarryme. Adorable isn’t it?
5.Homemade proposals – my personal favorite and also my personal story.

There are also many ways to do this but I will share my romantic proposal. It was a cold January evening when I came home. The whole place was dark and there was only a small lamp burning in the corner of the room. I didn’t see its shape; I only saw the dim light. There were flowers all over the place and also pictures of every precious moment we’ve spent together. For your surprise, I didn’t know what’s happening. It was overwhelming. Sweet words were told, a lot of tears were shed, and he proposed saying “Tonight I’m giving you the moon (of course the lamp was in the shape of a moon), but my heart I gave you long time ago. Marry me!” And so it happened. I’m hopeless romantic, what can I say.
This is just a short list of the things you can do. There are many, many more ways to surprise your future fiancée. If you think she might like a special home proposal like I did, there is one way I can help you. I spotted one lamp that looks like the moon. You can find it here:

However, you know HER best. Choose the best way to pop the question because, trust me, the story will be told countless times. Make it memorable!
