Is it important to get down on one knee when you propose?
Cupid’s Advice:
Every engagement should be as unique as the people forming a union. Therefore, there’s no exact formula to the perfect engagement. Here are some non-traditional ways to propose that don’t involve getting down on one knee:
1. While skydiving: For some extreme couples, it might be more meaningful to pop the question mid-air directly after jumping out of a plane together.
2. Spur of the moment: Spontaneous acts can be very romantic. Try proposing to your partner while walking by a jewelry store and allow them to pick out the perfect ring right then and there.
3. During dessert: It has becoming very common to propose by making arrangements with the restaurant in advance to bring out a ring with your partner’s dessert. It’s sweet and romantic, but isn’t too overly traditional.
