Proposal Tips

  1. First of all, make sure the weather will be nice on the day you plan to pop the question. In case of sudden changes, plan for a backup location indoors.
  2. However and wherever you choose to propose, be sure to have a professional photographer there to catch the moment on camera. Years later, you’ll definitely want to look back on those sweet pictures.
  3. As far as apparel goes, the choice is crystal clear. Wear your uniform!
  1. Timing is important for any proposal, but for those in the military, there are two major romance moments: Before you leave for deployment or when you get back! You can also choose to propose at a special military ceremony, and all options are sure to sweep her off her feet.
  2. Whether she’s waiting for you to come home or knowing you’ll leave soon, part of her is sure to be hoping for a ring. That doesn’t mean she won’t be surprised when you finally propose, so don’t worry!
  3. One of the cutest ways to propose while including everyone you love is at a homecoming or going away party! She’ll never see it coming, and everyone you love will be there to join in the excitement.
