Top marriage proposal moves that would disappoint your woman

Have you heard about the case where a woman got hospitalized because is man was trying to ask her hand for marriage?
This is no joke! What the man did is that he slipped the engagement ring to his girlfriend’s glass prior to their speech toast. Oblivious to the fact that the ring was indeed in the shot glass, the girl swallowed the ring and choked. Though she survived that should-be romantic event, it became truly an occasion that she would never forget.

Worse Proposals

It is just one of the worst situations that are supposed to be romantic. There are so many wedding proposals that are funny yet embarrassing at the same time. Most guys would like to be romantic when they drop that magic line. Usually their plans end up becoming a disaster rather than romantic. Below are some of the top mistakes that men do when proposing to their girlfriends. Read on to prevent yourself from doing this by the time you have decided to ask her to get married.

Proposing in public

It does not matter how big or small the crowd is. As long as we are talking about marriage proposals, you should never do this in public especially if she is not comfortable with that idea. It may look sweet in movies but this can be a really embarrassing. She may tell you that the answer is Yes because she would feel pressured with all the spectators. But afterward, you might get hurt if she tells you that she is really not ready to get married yet. Think about your girlfriend’s personality. Is she reserved? Does she value her privacy a lot? Make your proposal a little more private and ditch the movie-like plans.

Incorporating too many plans in your proposal

Most men thought that the more typical ideas put together, the more romantic it would be. Not! These typical or everyday-romance must remain as it is. Do not combine teddy bears, flowers, and a candlelit dinner all together for your marriage proposal. This is an event that must be special for you, especially for her. Your girlfriend may give you that happy face as a facade but deep down she is likely to be very disappointed.

Leaving yourself unprepared

Proposing a marriage to your girlfriend is a one-take and a once in a lifetime moment for both of you. That is why it is very important that you prepare everything and get it right. Though you might feel extremely tensed, try to get off that pressure from your shoulders.
Rehearse as much as you can. You should also think about the possible times that your plans could go wrong as well. Make a backup plan so that you can still have a perfect marriage proposal if some things inevitably changed. Try to think of the possible solutions by rehearsing the proposal physically. It would not hurt if you ask the help of your friends and her family for brainstorming if you are already out of ideas.

Splurging a lot for the event

Of course another issue here is the budget. Although it may really require you to spend, it is important that you stick to whatever amount that you have set for the marriage proposal. Usually those who are trying to spend a lot for this end up losing all the creativity and the uniqueness as well. It may be a nice proposal but it would not be something that would astound your girlfriend or her jaws drop out of shock.

Do something more personal

Giving it a personal touch would make your marriage proposal creative and unique. And these are some of the major factors that would make people talk about it for ages. Think of all the things that you girlfriend loves. It must be all about her and nothing else should matter to make it both memorable for you and her.
