Possibly the most nerve-racking and exciting moment in any relationship is the “proposal”. It's the moment every one dreams of. That special moment when one puts everything on the line and asks their true love to spend the rest of their lives together. A single moment sparking a chain of events that leads to a beautiful wedding and life filled with love and happiness. The single way that one chooses to “pop the question” is up to them. We have seen creative proposals on TV, in the news and in movies but here's a few tips to sweep your spouse to be off their feet.

1. The Classic Romantic. Get down on one knee with a ring in your hand just after you have finished your favorite entree at your favorite restaurant. A sunset walk on the beach is always a beautiful idea! 
2. The Sports Lover. Are you and your special someone big sports fans? There may be nothing bigger than proposing at a professional baseball or basketball game. We promise it will be something you will never forget.
3. The Artist. Write in chalk, “will you marry me” right outside your house or apartment in big enough letters that they will notice. Then just sit and wait inside to complete the proposal. Create a message they will never forget out of scrabble letters! 
4. The Music Lover. Call up the local radio station and get them to pop the question for you over the air. Make sure there is a time you know they will be listening and then have them dedicate a song to them after.
5. The Adventurer. Scavenger hunts are also fun and entertaining. Create a set of clues throughout the house that leads your spouse to a final location where you can be hiding. Cute, loving notes will surely get your loved one curious and intrigued.

When it comes to your proposal, do something that is “You”. Pop the question in a way that expresses the true essence of your relationship. Whether you have already popped that special question, or are thinking about how you want to do it, its always exciting to think of all the fun ways to express your love.
