Every girl dreams of the perfect proposal, whether it’s on the beach while watching a stunning sunset, on top of a magnificent mountain or simply in the comfort of your own home; we all have a particular preference. It can happen at any time, when we least expect it and the man has usually put some serious thought into it in order to make it the perfect proposal, whether it's personal and intimate or a big, spectacular event.

Your proposal marks the beginning of your new life together so it's imperative that it’s perfect. We recommend that you either have a photographer ready or a camera on hand because you do not want to forget this magical moment. Aside from the fact that you'll be asked over and over again about your proposal story, a picture is worth a thousand words, and this one will certainly be something to be cherished forever.
