One proposal strategy is to take your girlfriend back to where it all started. 

This would entail popping the question to your girlfriend in the spot where you two first crossed paths. This might be a significant and beautiful gesture because it would remind your girlfriend of when you first started dating and highlight how far you’ve come.

You may put flowers or candles there to make the setting more intimate. Be genuine and expressive of your love and devotion in your proposal speech to your partner.

You may plan a surprise proposal in front of her family and yours or a small group of close friends. A meaningful way to mark the occasion and share the joy with those you care about could look like this. 

You may have a small party or gathering and ask everyone to hide until you pop the question. If your girlfriend accepts, you can throw a party in her honor. 

Plan so that your loved ones can be there to celebrate this momentous occasion with you. In your proposal speech, be genuine and expressive of your love and commitment to your girlfriend.

Beach proposal

You can’t beat the romance of a proposal on the beach. 

Just go for a casual stroll at sunrise or sunset. You might even adopt a light-hearted approach and construct a sandcastle. 

Put the ring atop the tallest structure when your potential spouse isn’t watching.

Plan a surprise flash mob

You and a large group of friends or family must choreograph a dance routine to pull off a flash mob proposal. Then, execute it for your girlfriend in a public setting. 

Planning and coordinating an elaborate proposal like this takes time and effort. But the results are likely to be exciting and unforgettable. 

As with any public display of affection, you should check with your girlfriend to ensure a flash mob, including the two of you, is acceptable to the venue and guests.

Proposals on rooftops are among the most popular everywhere in the world. 

According to Alex &Co., you should make the celebration unique for your lover to show them how much you care. 

Get a beautiful ring and pop the question.

This is a one-of-a-kind and romantic proposal idea since you can take in the scenery as you ask the big question. 

You and your loved one can book a private ride in a hot air balloon or go on a group tour. Check the forecast beforehand to ensure you’ll have good riding conditions. 

You should get down on one knee and propose to your partner when the time is appropriate. If you want to remember this time forever, take pictures or make a video. 

Have a romantic picnic

Planning a romantic picnic in a scenic setting like a park or near a lake is a low-key yet meaningful way to pop the question. 

Prepare your girlfriend’s favorite foods and drinks, and set up a romantic picnic for you to share. Propose to your partner over dinner while you share your love and dedication. 

Be prepared with the engagement ring and think of a special manner to give it to her. Take some pictures or record a short film to remember this special time.

There are other ways how to propose to your girlfriend. The important thing is that you treasure every moment with her and prepare for her response when you pop the question. 

Make sure the plan you settle on is something that both you and your girlfriend will enjoy. Remember to convey your deep feelings of devotion and love!

    The Mall or the Manger?

    Much has changed since the God of the universe decorated the night sky with the star of Bethlehem and directed the choir of angels in a chorus announcing the birth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. But the commercialism doesn’t have to rule in our hearts and homes. This year let’s focus on the Christ Child and remember the true meaning of the holiday season. As we turn our eyes to the Babe in the manger, we will not view Christmas as a dreaded obligation or a major retail event. It will be a time of joyous celebration, honoring the One Who came to give us eternal life and worshipping our Heavenly Father.
