Tips

Overcoming the Knot

Icon_tip_1

Congratulations! You’ve decided to “take the plunge” and propose marriage to the love of your life. Though you might be feeling nervous, don’t fret. Taking the time to prepare for the proposal will ensure that you not only prove your love to your girlfriend, but you’ll be making one of her dreams come true.

Over the next 30 days, we will help you:

  • Craft a romantic proposal.
  • Search for the right engagement ring.
  • Overcome your fears. After all, you love each other.
  • Look forward to that special day when you say, “I do.”


Chances are you’ve been thinking about this for a while. Maybe your girlfriend has even been dropping hints. On your first day, why not fully imagine what it will feel like when you pop the question? Fill yourself with that feeling of being a real-life Prince Charming and try to hold onto that feeling throughout the next 30 days. That feeling will help propel you through the process.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the Diamond Information Center, December is the most popular month to get engaged, though many guys also choose Valentine’s Day to pop the question.
