What a romantic Christmas many of you have had. I have received a couple of enquiries since Christmas day already regarding my wedding photography services from excited brides-to-be after receiving marriage proposals over Christmas.
One of the ways a bride-to-be was proposed to was that she noticed on Christmas day that there was an extra Christmas decoration on the tree. As she looked closer her boyfriend said “go ahead, open the box”. As she opened the box she saw the ring at which time he got down on one knee and proposed to her. It was an even more special moment as he had secretly arranged for their families, including her Grandmother who had helped raise her as a little girl, to come over for the afternoon and had silently come into the room as she opened the box. What a great guy.
Weddings are definitely back in vogue and 2010 looks like to be one of the busiest years for weddings for quite a long time.
So, with this in mind, if you’re getting married in 2010 then you need to start booking your wedding vendors very soon because if you don’t book them, then someone else will book the Photographer, Videographer, DJ, Toastmaster, Band, Wedding Venue, Wedding planner or the Makeup Artist that you had hoped to book for yourself.
Will you be proposing to your loved one very soon?
Here are ten suggestions on making that marriage proposal
1. Cook your loved one a romantic meal and place a note around the napkin like it is a napkin holder asking her/him to marry you. Or slip the napkin (use fabric ones not paper!) through the ring, when she goes to put her napkin in her lap she will find the ring.
2. Leave a trail of notes for him/her to follow and when he/she reaches the end you will be standing there with a sign or you can say "Will you marry me?"
3. Cook and set an elaborate candlelight table (or cater if you are not talented in the kitchen) for a quiet romantic dinner for two at home. Serve her a glass of champagne with the diamond ring in the bottom or ribboned to the stem.
4. Take her/him up in a hot air balloon with a bottle of champagne and announce that'll you'll jump if she/he doesn't marry you.
5. Write her/him a story about your relationship. Almost like a diary with dates if possible. Then end it with the date you are going to give it to him/her telling how you proposed and that the story can't be ended until you have the answer.
6. Take her/him to the theatre and ask the stage manager if he will allow you to come up on stage and propose after the final curtain.
7. Gather friends and family outside his/her home waving banners with the words will you marry me on them and you standing in front of them all on one knee holding the ring. (Make sure that they get the right house).
8. Create a web page all about your life together. Photos, places that mean a lot to you both. Send him/her the web address and wait for his/her reply and when accepted you can then send the address to friends and family.
9. Scatter rose petals all over her bed and put the gift wrapped ring in the centre. Tell her that you bought her a gift to show how much you love her. When she opens it tell her that you want to spend the rest of your life with her.
10. Finally... Do it the old fashioned way. Get down on one knee with a rose clenched in your teeth and the ring in your hand and simply say "Will you Marry me?".
As we move out of 2009 I would like to thank all the wonderful Brides & Grooms that I had the pleasure of photographing their weddings this year and for also the great fun we had. I wish you all a prosperous and fun-filled 2010.
For all the Brides & Grooms who have already booked me for 2010 and for those still to book me I can’t wait to photograph your wedding. It’s going to be a busy year ahead for you and one heck of a great wedding day.
