The decision to marry someone is one of the biggest steps in life. And saying yes to someone’s proposal is almost as big! This is why proposals need to be unique, memorable, and beautiful.
If you’re planning on proposing this year, make sure it is an unforgettable affair, by doing some research beforehand. Speaking of which, women talking about their perfect proposal moments might be the exact thing you need.
Here are some of the dreamiest proposal stories to help you plan better.

“My partner and I went for a night trek in Himachal in the winter. It was a clear night, and super gorgeous. I love stars and the night sky. The moon was also so bright. As we were walking, we came upon a gorgeous mountain clearing with wildflowers, all surrounded by pines. It was lit by moonlight and looked magical. We decided to take a break at the grassy knoll, and that is where he proposed to me. It was the perfect fairytale moment.”
4. Christmas miracles and more

“I put his ring in the toe of his Christmas stocking. He put it on, and I asked him to marry me. He said yes, kissed me, and then immediately ran into the bedroom to grab the ring he had squirreled away for me.”
5. There’s no perfect time

“I ruined all his plans. I knew there was a ring, but he still wanted to make that moment a surprise. He tried bringing me to our high school, I knew it was coming. He tried on a late night drive to stargaze; I had to pee so we went home. He tried at the airport when I picked him up; my dad asked him to wait.
So one day, we were babysitting my little sister and he popped the question while we were eating lunch. No knee, no ‘Will you marry me?’ Instead, I got ‘I’ve been trying to give this to you for a week now. So what do you say?’ He’s definitely a romantic and I’m far from it so I’m surprised it went that way, but I wouldn’t change it for the world!”
6. A classroom connection

“We met in our first year of university, in an English class we both took. We were both late to class one day and got stuck sitting beside each other. Fast forward almost seven years later. We had plans to go to dinner and a movie, but instead, he takes a different turn, and pulls into the university where we met. He took me to the classroom where we had our class together, which he had decorated with pretty lights, and asked me to marry him there! It was super sweet and very meaningful. I loved it.”
Telling your significant other that they’re your perfect other half is not something that we do often. It makes sense to make the moment special. However, special can be different, whether it’s on a cold Sunday morning in bed, or under the Eiffel Tower.
What is important is that you make your partner feel loved, appreciated, and wanted. Everyone has a different kind of ‘perfect’ proposal. Make sure you find the one you and your partner will cherish. Good luck!
