Dear Single Ladies - How Do You Want Your Marriage Proposal?

Don’t get all scared ladies, this post is not calling out anybody! I know some of us are still at the age where we shiver at that thought of marriage and some of us just think about it and say NOT YET!

Fine, for those of us who are ready and expecting the special man of our life to pop that question, some who are taking their time and finally to those that are saying it’s not yet time, if and when the time comes, how do/would you want it?

There are some very special moments of our life that only come ONCE, and what makes such moments special? How they are presented.

Some of us are loud, and we like our stuffs done that way, and some of us just love our stuffs done on a low key. We really can’t deny how much work we do on our men, to become more romantic, as most of them know the word, but really can’t place the meaning. It amazes me how those kind of men will be the first to say –“but babe, you know how romantic I am now” Excuse me? Why not let us be the judge of that...

They can a times have little knowledge on making our most precious moments memorable; one can never be too sure! Maybe when we start putting it up, it will be a plus to our efforts, to at least make up for the lost times! Maybe!

Dear precious guys, the “being romantic stuff” we’re talking about here doesn’t mean buying your girlfriend lunch every day!,Nah! Even our admirers does that, it also doesn’t mean you buying her a wardrobe size birthday card when she’s a year older, we appreciate your effort but still nah! And also, be kind enough to be able to differentiate between “bedroom romantic acts” and “open romantic acts”.

Back to the matter, sorry ladies, I had to clear it up for the guys consoling themselves already. I personally want a big and memorable proposal, with friends and family around also which I make clear each time the discussion comes around, I sing about it, I tweet it, I breath it, I dance it, I write about it (just as I am doing), what don't I do to make it crystal clear? And if after all, I get a 'tired day proposal', anyone can guess right what my answer will be.

To the advantage of the men that will see this, I have got some 'maybe ideas', let's go!

*DINNERS

1. After inviting friends to dinner to celebrate your relationship anniversary, or just a random celebration for having you, he decided to talk about you, and at the end of his speech, out of nowhere, he popped the question.

2. A dinner for two (you and him), you requested for menu, placed your orders and you were served. Surprisingly, your plate was unusually covered, tummy rumbling already, you opened the dish and all you could see was the question on your plate.

3. A casual dinner, after your meal, you noticed his mood has changed and he looked annoyingly serious. He gives you a little paper which reads; I’M SORRY, BUT THINGS HAVE CHANGED JUST AS I ANTICIPATED, THIS IS THE LAST DINNER WE’RE GONNA BE HAVE AS BOYFRIEND& GIRLFRIEND.( your heart is already at your throat I trust) turning over….WILL YOU MARRY ME?

*WEEKEND GETAWAY

Your weekend getaway can be anywhere; it can be a lodge in the hotel over the weekend, a beach date or a movie date at the cinema.
After having fun throughout the day, you retire to bed, with the dim light in the hotel room and the cool breeze; he pops the question for your ears alone!

It’s actually not the common beach proposal trend I have in mind (the words written on the sand). He plans with some folks (friends most likely) an alarm is raised or a scene is created (definitely false), he drags you there to go pick your own share of the drama (amebo) (very very romantic,very very very unusual of him), and you lost him amongst the crowd. Still looking out for him, you get a tap behind and there he is one knee down, popping the question with all attention on you guys…
Movie date, yeah he really would have to go an extra mile on this one. After seeing the movie you’ve been dying to see all week, your picture shows on the huge screen, your name and a little stuff about you follows, followed by his own picture, followed by the question!

Okay! Enough of my ideas…ladies, how do you want your OMG moment? C’mon, let’s hear!
