While it certainly doesn’t hurt to have a gorgeous engagement ring, crafting a marriage proposal requires more than that. Even though everyone is unique and has their preferences, there are a few universal tips that will help you find the right words for your special someone. If you want to create a meaningful and memorable proposal, here’s what to keep in mind.

How to Craft the Perfect Marriage Proposal

Start From the Beginning

How did you first meet? Was it a beautifully cinematic situation or more of an adorably awkward one? What initially attracted you to them? Referring to the first moment you laid eyes on them is a tried and true-way to kick off your speech.

Note the Details

To make your speech even more personal, mention some of the details you love about them. Maybe there's something about the way their eyes light up when they’re excited about something they love? Or perhaps they bite their lip when they’re concentrating? You can also mention a seemingly mundane moment when you knew you were falling for them or ready to pop the question.

Since you’re suggesting they spend the rest of their life with you, it helps to discuss some shared values and ideas. Will there be kids in your future or more time spent traveling? Have you talked about getting a house in the suburbs or is there an apartment in the city that suits your needs for now? Whatever the details may be, let them know that in every iteration of your future, you want them in it.

Make Sure It Sounds Like You

As you draft the proposal, take out any words or expressions that don’t seem like something you would say. Not only will it sound better, but you also won’t feel as nervous! You don’t want to drop the engagement ring because you’re tripping over an awkward turn of phrase.
