The elements of a great proposal

Location plays an important role in a proposal. It is not necessary that the location you choose is expensive, however, it should be some location which is memorable to both of you. Maybe the location where you saw her for the first time that could be your college library also. Likewise, see some such location to propose. Though, the proposal itself makes any location a memorable one.
2. Music in the background
Music is a remedy to many heart related issues, and proposal is one amongst all. A little ambient music can do wonders in your proposal.

3. In front of people who matters the most like your family and friends
If you are amongst those who love to tell about their love to everybody than nothing could be better than proposing your love in front of people who matters the most to you. Don’t hesitate to share the biggest experience of your life with the people you love. However, it the proposal itself can be made intimately and privately, but it’ll be much more memorable if you make it in front of your loved ones, who are always ready to share the good news with you.
4. When you know it’s the right time
Though, there is no right time to propose to the love of your life. But, make sure you don’t propose on an impulse without considering what happens after. Impulsive decisions can go wrong, so it is better to consider your situation before proposing the other person. For instance, you are not financially ready for a wedding, and you propose your significant other and later you give all the excuses for extending the wedding plans, she will definitely feel bad about it. Instead, have a plan and then propose your love, or you can propose but tell your significant others about your wedding plans.
5. Propose your significant other with a ring
Ring is very important for making a proposal. Ring plays an important role in a proposal. It doesn’t matter what others say, but it is crucial. Of course, the ring need not be super costly or a diamond only. But a ring will leave a great impact on your proposal. Ring is a symbol of your love. Price of the ring should not matter, any ring can do as long as your proposal is romantic and memorable for your partner. In fact, if you gift a ring which is very ordinary or different it will always work as a symbolic token of your proposal for the life.
6. Propose when you both are ready
There is no right age for getting married. It doesn’t matter what your age is or you are at a perfect age for getting married. If you are not ready, do not propose. Marriage is a big deal, it is about the entire life and not for two or three years. You need to really consider all the aspects of getting married, you will need to think about what’s going to happen once you and your partner get hitched. Marriage is a responsibility, you need to see whether your significant other is ready to take that responsibility or not. Because it is not just about you, it is about your significant other too.
7. When you are financially ready for it
Propose the love of your life, when you are actually ready to take care of the other person. Marriage is a big responsibility and it never comes alone. So, make a proposal only when you are financially ready for getting hitched. When you have acquired what all you wanted to before getting hitched. When you think you are financially stable and are ready for getting hitched.
8. When your family is also ready to accept someone new with them
Though, this is not for all, but in some religion or region this happens that family does not accept someone who they don’t know, So, it is crucial that you talk to your family first, before making a proposal to your significant other. Marriage is a union, union of not just two people but it is a union of two families<make sure your family is ready.
