5 tips for the perfect proposal

1.SUPRISE HER. Maybe you've been living together. Talked marriage a time or two. Gone ring-shopping. But even if the fact of the proposal won't be a shocker, the when, where, and how should be-so put some thought into them.
2.TALK TO HER FAMILY. If she's really close with her family, feel free to go the old-school route and ask them for their blessing beforehand. Just make sure you fill her parents in no earlier than a week ahead. (Otherwise they could let something slip.)
3.PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT.Think about the moments that lead to this one-your first date, kiss, trip-and work them into your big speech.
4.GET DOWN ON ONE KNEE. It seems a bit old-fashioned, but trust us, girls dig it!
5.SERIOUSLY, BRING A RING. Proposals are about rituals, and slipping something on her finger is a big one. No ring yet? Bring a faux one (a toy, candy), then shop for a real rock together later on.
