tips for planning
- Find out the weather protocol of the event you will be attending. Will there be a rain delay, will it get cancelled? Also, monitor your girlfriend's desire to go. Will she still want to run the race in the freezing cold or cheer you on from the sideline in the pouring rain? These are all factors to take into consideration when planning the big day.
- If you're the one participating, make sure you confirm a set time and location for your photographer to be at since you won't be able to text during the race to check up on their whereabouts.
- Don't carry the ring while you're running. You don't want to risk losing it or have it cause chafing, especially if you're running a marathon! Have a friend, family member, or your photographer positioned toward the end of the race to hand it off to you.
- Make sure you know how long it takes her to run so you know where to be positioned at what time and when you need to be at the finish line by (make sure to get there very early to secure a great spot)!
- Playing in a big game or running a race is a great way to hide your proposals nerves. She'll think you're just nervous about the event, and won't suspect it's because you plan to get down on one knee at the end!
- Athletic events are a great place to propose because chances are, your friends and family will already be there to cheer you on and she won't think that they're for your proposal.
