Marriage Proposal Dos and Donts

It's easy to see how things can be confusing when you and your significant other have gotten to a point where you both may be considering marriage. Many people will tell you that it can be difficult, no only in thinking and planning going about it, but actually putting your plan of proposing into action can at times be a whole other ball game. How do you know what to do, when to do it, where - it's just so many questions and things that you have to consider - on top of one of the most important things - am I ready to get married now, and to this person for the rest of my life ? Once you go through the important questions and you know for sure that you absolutely want to do this, with no doubt in your mind - then go for it. Here are a few do's and don't of marriage proposing:

Do take your time. Make sure that you guys have everything in order as far as your relationship, where you are going, whether you are on the same page as far as expectations, if you want children or not (and how they will be brought up), religion and beliefs, etc.

Do make the proposal special for both of you. From the ring, the place that you choose to have it, to your clothes, hair and appearance, and anything else that you can imagine that would make for a romantic and memorable time.

Don't be unprepared. Plan out everything to a T and make sure that no stone is unturned so that things will be much more likely to go smooth.

Don't panic. Being cool, calm and confident is how you want to be when you make your proposal. It's okay to be excited and happy, just don't go off the deep end - this is a very happy occasion.
