There are so many tips to make a proposal memorable and make it a magical moment to remember for your happily ever after.<\/p>\n<p>So many couples have spent special moments at Granny Mouse before tying the knot, so look at doing the big question somewhere sentimental. It could be a restaurant where you had your first date so it takes your proposal full circle.<\/p>\n<p>If you happy to do, book the whole family in where you are. Have the nearest and dearest at a nearby vantage point so after you have popped the question and your partner says yes, wave everyone in so they can get to congratulate you both and share in this happy moment. Good timing to have all those around would no doubt be the holidays or end of year where they can be there with you.<\/p>\n<p>When asking, don\u2019t forget to say the words, to avoid confusion or misunderstanding. Saying the words <strong><em>Will you marry me<\/em><\/strong> really need to be asked.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to hire in a professional photographer, as you really want fabulous images of the proposal. Better than getting your bestie in whose phone\u2019s battery dies or who can\u2019t work a camera.<\/p>\n<p>Try to propose in the day or early evening, so you can then enjoy the rest of the day or evening. It does so help with the nerves too. You get to be able to then wine and dine, and partner gets to show off the ring rather than wait until the next day.<\/p>\n<p>If you are someone that battles with romance and many of us do, being smooth or sauve doesn\u2019t come naturally to most of us. So don\u2019t be anyone else but you, speak from the heart. Be you!! Don\u2019t read your speech, and if you nervous you will forget everything you have to say make a cheat sheet that okay. Speak slowly and it will all work out.<\/p>\n<p>If your partner has children, include them in the proposal and even bring them in on the plan for the proposal. Just hope they don\u2019t snitch and let the cat is out the bag.<\/p>\n<p>Where ever or however you propose words of advice, know you partner and if they are shy do not ever do a public, elaborate over the top proposal with large crowds. If you don\u2019t like it, may very well be that your partner possibly doesn\u2019t either.<\/p>\n<p>So best of luck with that proposal and see you all at the Mouse House soon.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on getting becoming engaged, or preparing a surprise proposal or wanting to get getting married, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grannymouse.co.za\">www.grannymouse.co.za<\/a> or email <a href=\"mailto:reservations@grannymouse.co.za\">reservations@grannymouse.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by: <a href=\"https:\/\/pink-book.co.za\/wedding-tips-ideas\/planning\/9-tips-on-how-to-propose\/\">https:\/\/pink-book.co.za\/wedding-tips-ideas\/planning\/9-tips-on-how-to-propose\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you think it\u2019s time to pop the question, we bet you\u2019re sweating, thinking of ways to make it special, as those four words \u201cwill you marry me\u201d can make you weak at the knees, especially if being romantic is a bit of a challenge.
