Your perfect proposal
Under the enchanting canopy of a thousand twinkling stars, the couple found themselves strolling through the lush gardens of a historic castle they had rented for the weekend.
The soft glow of lanterns illuminated their path, guiding them to a secluded spot where a small table, adorned with roses and flickering candles, awaited them.
As they sipped champagne and reminisced about their journey together, a string quartet hidden nearby began to play their favorite song.
Overwhelmed with emotion, they locked eyes, and with a heart full of love, one partner slowly dropped to one knee.
Producing a delicate blue box, they opened it to reveal a dazzling ring, and with a voice trembling with excitement, asked for their beloved's hand in marriage.
The moment was pure magic, a perfect proposal that would be cherished forever.

The "better not's"
FORGETTING THE ENGAGEMENT RING
While not all proposals require a ring, it's a widely accepted symbol of commitment. If you plan to present one, make sure you have it with you.
PROPOSING TOO EARLY
Ensure that you and your partner have had enough time to get to know each other and have discussed your future together before proposing.
NOT HAVING A PLAN B
Unforeseen circumstances can arise, such as bad weather or a change in venue. Be prepared with a backup plan to ensure the proposal goes smoothly.
RUSHING THE MOMENT
Take your time during the proposal, and don't rush through your words or actions. This is a significant moment for both of you, so savor it.
NOT PRACTICING BEFOREHAND
Rehearse what you want to say and how you want to present the ring. This can help reduce nerves and ensure a smoother proposal.
IGNORING CULTURAL OR RELIGIOUS SENSITIVITIES
Be aware of any cultural or religious customs that may be relevant to your partner and their family, and plan your proposal accordingly.
Remember, the most important aspect of a marriage proposal is that it reflects the love and commitment you share with your partner. Keep their preferences and feelings in mind as you plan and execute the proposal.
