Check some of those trashy magazines we love so much, and then put your plan into motion; you know what your partner will love!

Should You Rehearse The Proposal As Much As The Wedding?

The idea of rehearsing your future proposal might fill you with horror. After all, it’s supposed to be overwhelmingly romantic and beautifully spontaneous, right? Yeah… in the movies! In real life, marriage is a huge deal that takes a lot of consideration. And how can you truly know if you’re ready for it without discussing the details with your other half? And, of course, if you’ve been discussing the practicalities of marriage, no proposal is going to be spontaneous.

So, what is it that truly makes it something you and your future wife will always look on fondly?
