Choosing the ring: Please don't come unprepared to the proposal. Many women expect to have a ring on this night. It's not that we need something flashy and expensive to make it real; it's just that it helps cement your commitment and lets us know you're ready to take the plunge.

However, if your girl is the type who wants to pick and/or design her own ring, you should have discussed marriage well in advance. She knows it's coming, and is happy to say yes without hardware in hand. But just take her ring shopping as soon as possible after popping the question!

Wedding Proposals from the Heart

Asking your girlfriend to marry you is an exciting time! Sure, you may get nervous, but practicing those all important words in advance will help to alleviate some of those jitters. Don't worry if things go awry -- remember what you're there to do - ask the love of your life to commemorate your commitment to each other!
Wedding proposals are a great way to incorporate what your love means to the both of you and should be as unique as the two of you. Cherish the time and make it special!
