More women are asking the question themselves, and there is no reason to wait to be asked. If you know he is the one, how to propose to a man is simply a question of how you want to say it.
I'm Leon, an accredited celebrant and proposal photographer based in Llandudno. Here are ideas for asking your boyfriend in a way that feels like the two of you.
Forget the Rule Book
There is an old tradition of women proposing on 29 February, but you do not need a leap day or anyone's permission. Any day that feels right is the right day.
With or Without a Ring
Some women give a ring, others a watch, an engraved keepsake or nothing at all, choosing rings together later. What matters is the question.
Pick a Place He Loves
Think about where he is happiest. A walk he always suggests, a beach on Anglesey, a view in the Conwy Valley or the place you had your first date all carry meaning. Places to propose in Wales has more ideas.
Say What You Feel
Men often say they were lost for words when it was their turn to be asked. Your words matter just as much as his answer. That is where a Love Letter helps: you share your feelings with me, and together we craft something that says it all.
How a Guided Proposal Works
With the Guided Proposal Ceremony, I read your bespoke Love Letter aloud before you ask, then photograph the moment and everything after, with Polaroid keepsakes to take home. Your photographs begin your Love Story Album, and you receive a year of the Love Story Registry. It is £695.00 on the services page.
Anywhere You Choose
North Wales is home, but you can choose anywhere: elsewhere in the UK.
Asking him yourself is a story you will both enjoy telling for years. Tell me how you would like to ask him and we will shape it together.
