Will You Marry Me?

How do you ask the woman of your dreams to marry you? Why not take her out on a romantic cruise, have a great time and as you watch the sun set on your last evening on vacation together, why not ask then? Beautiful place, the mood is set and the woman of your dreams beside you; gather up your courage and ask!

On the other hand, maybe you’d like to post it on a billboard, ask her on the Oprah show. A bit unconventional but that may be your style. A tried and true method is the simple and traditional drop to one knee and simply ask her, with all sincerity. If the lady feels the same, no matter how you asked, she’ll say yes.

Some men figure it’s okay to do without this very important item and figure they’ll just put the money into the wedding. Don’t be a cheapskate! If you don’t know it yet, the girls love having an engagement ring, for a whole lot of reasons, least of which is that it is pretty.

An engagement ring is a physical symbol of the effort, the lengths that their man will go to to have her in his life. It is also a physical sign of commitment. It is a symbol of love and friendship that has blossomed into a union of souls.

It isn’t that much more expensive to get a ring that matches a wedding band set. Some jewelry shops will even give discounts if the engagement ring and bands are purchased together. In fact, some are designed so that the engagement ring and the wedding band of the lady interlock to seem to form one ring.

Be a sweetheart. Get her the ring. She’s worth it!
