Tips for Planning

  1. If you plan to propose at a church or religious location, make sure she packs a modest outfit, many churches prefer your dress to cover your shoulders and knees.
  2. Schedule an engagement shoot while you're in Italy, you'll want to make sure you capture the gorgeous memories and scenery of your trip. Plus, you can always schedule a second engagement shoot when you're back home.
  3. Plan a fancy dinner for the middle/beginning of your trip. If you save it for the last night her proposal senses will be on high alert. If you propose at the beginning of the trip, you'll be able to take engagement photos all throughout Italy for the rest of your trip.
  1. Do some research as to when museums, restaurants, and other tourist spots are open. Many places tend to be closed on Mondays and you'd hate to show up to your proposal location only to find it closed.
  2. After your proposal surprise her by already having reservations at a nearby restaurant. You'd hate to get somewhere to celebrate your proposal, only to find an hour wait.
  3. Have her family plan the trip to Italy and suggest that she bring you. That way, she'll think she's going on a family trip and won't suspect you're going to propose.
