Love and Emotions

Have you bought the perfect ring for the woman of your dreams but are looking for a different way of proposing to her? Well then, congratulations my friend because you have found the right place; for some people hundred candles and red roses are not just the perfect idea of proposal, maybe because it’s too filmy, clichéd or predictable, whatsoever be the reason it’s your marriage proposal and you got to do it just the way you like it.

If you are committed to a woman who appreciates a good joke you can present her with a huge box wrapped as a present which would contain a couple of more boxes of smaller size and she would have to work her way to the ring but if patience isn’t her strongest suit you can always opt for something else. If you are sick and tired of the usual proposal idea such as ring in a glass of wine or bending down on one knee on Christmas Eve you have to try to think out of the box. From the box another idea popped into my head, remember that prank box from which a monster pops up? Well that would be a ridiculously funny idea of proposing and an excellent anecdote for the life ahead. I believe the simpler the proposal idea is kept the better is its outcome; planning something extravagant and complicated may result in ruining your marriage proposal instead of making memorable and special.

A very unique and interesting idea would be to engage her in a game of hangman and keep the phrase will you marry me and let her figure it out, once she does and looks at you confusingly bend don on one knee and show her the ring that would be placed on her ring forever. You can try planning a treasure hunt at home and let your lady love work her way to the ring and when she finds you can greet her with flowers and a will you marry me banner. One can make use of technology to work out a creative and unique marriage proposal, you can take a picture of yourself holding a will you marry me sign, enlarge it to a huge poster size and hang it in her room and then you can enter the room in that exact moment holding the perfect ring.

Another interesting, hilarious but totally cute idea would be to propose when your girlfriend is having a bad hair day, is dressed funny, what I simply mean that she is looking bad and she is well aware of that and can’t stop complaining to you about her looks, that’s when you take the ring out and ask her to tie the bond of marriage and tell her that you don’t care about how she looks and all that matters is that she marries you. Believe it or not, this idea would make her fall for you all over again.

The engagement party is a time in the event the families of the couple will get to know one another. In some cases, this could be the first meeting involving the two families or groups of friends and any icebreaker function will be a pleasant event. During that light, whoever manages the engagement party (likely the bride’s family, but it can be the engaged couple or others who wants to plan the party) should prepare a few games and activities made to help everyone become familiar with all the others.

Firstly is a trivia game. Come up with a “Trivial Pursuit” type game with questions about the bride and groom’s lives. You might keep the questions to just truths and events relating to both the groom and bride (such as “How much time did it take her to say “yes” when he asked”,”Where did he pop the question”, where did they meet, etc), or you can include questions pertaining to their lives outside of each other and before they met each other. Not only can this be fun, but also it’s an entertaining way for people to become familiar with each other and the engaged couple better.

One popular icebreaker that’s used at business gatherings and company parties can also perform really well at engagement parties. Tape a card to each person’s back and motivate him or her to survey the room, associate with everyone and particularly attempt to get to know someone they have certainly not met before. Before getting to someone else, you’ll want to make a remark about the person on the card on his or her back. Party-goers write an idea of that person, such as “she seems sweet” or “he knows a lot about the weather”.

This icebreaker ends as soon as the interacting session is over. The cards are then read one by one and people not only become familiar with each other better, but have fun with reading all the remarks people put together about them. Aim to ensure that comments are complimentary or somehow presented in a favorable light. Hurtful opinions, obviously, are not applicable. If this is truly the first-time many of the guests have met, then another fun game involving the wearing of cards might be in order. In this game, each guest wears a card on their front that has their name on the front and a number on the back. They don’t show to anyone what their number is. Guests entertain and chat and get acquainted with each other over the course of the evening.

Toward the finale of the evening, the cards are flipped over and the number side is shown. Everyone gets a small note and writes the numbers on the paper, then tries to designate the name of someone with their number. This fun game can be hard for people who are bad with names, but it’s fun nonetheless. For a procedure that doesn’t put people on the spot quite so much, consider letting the already marrieds help out the to-be marrieds. Place two pieces of poster board on the wall and mark them “advice from women” and “advice from men”. This is the time to offer advice about wedding planning, not about being married. That advice can come later. Inspire guests to offer their own wedding planning advice where the recommendation from seniors at the party could be different from the younger couples in the group, making enlightening group of comments.
