There was yet another reason to celebrate on July 4th, as Chris Tyrrell proposed to Hillary Scott during a romantic sunset on Independence Day. Â “Chris proposed exactly the way I’ve always dreamed. Â Our families were close by, but it was just us out on a beautiful deck overlooking a lake in East Tennessee,” the Lady Antebellum lead singer told People. Â The proposal was romantic, yet casual, as it took place during a hike and the couple was wearing work-out attire. Â Although the wedding date is not yet set, the couple looks forward to “forever together.”
What are some laid back yet memorable ways to propose?
Cupid’s Advice:
It can be tricky to strike a balance between simple yet special ways to propose to your loved one. Â Cupid has some advice on how to make your engagement low-key, yet a memory you will treasure forever:
1. During your favorite activity: Do whatever you enjoy doing together, whether it’s going for a hike, like Hillary Scott and Chris Tyrrell, or watching a movie. Â What matters is that you’re surrounded by a serene atmosphere, so that you can tune in to each other.
2. At home: When your sweetie gets home after a day at work, surprise him or her by laying out some rose petals in the bedroom and playing some soft music. Â Then get down on your knee and pop the question. Â This is a romantic way to propose, yet it doesn’t involve anything extravagant.
3. During a meal: Presenting the sparkler over dinner at home or at a restaurant can be a spontaneous way to ask the question. You don’t have to follow the scripted ring-in-the-food technique. Â Just go with your instincts.
