Possibly not - and particularly if it decides to snow. But getting a marriage proposal right during one of the busiest, most stressful times of the year isn’t particularly easy.
Thankfully, we know how best to pop the question at this amazing time of the year. All it requires is a bit of forethought and one of the following scenarios:
Picture you and your partner strolling through a crisp, frost-covered wintery field or forest on a sunny Sunday morning.
There are few things more romantic than a wintery walk, which is why this might just be the perfect scenario for you to pop the big question.
It’s ultra simple, too. You just need to pick your moment (ideally when you’re both completely alone), halt the walk, get down on that knee and ask the most important question you’ll ever ask your partner!
A bit obvious? Not at all! If your partner doesn’t suspect a marriage proposal is on the cards yet but has made noises about getting married, why not buy them the best Christmas present ever?
Package the ring in a much bigger box than is strictly necessary, and leave it under the tree. Have a bit of fun with the wrapping if you like, too, by over wrapping it to the point where it’ll take a good few minutes to get into.
Then, on Christmas morning, open your presents as normal. Only… it won’t be a normal present at all for her, will it?
Festive nights out on the city are wonderful, and if it’s just the two of you painting the town red, this could be the perfect setting for the marriage proposal you’ve been planning.
Choose a nice restaurant, maybe fit in some live music or a show and book a room in a swanky hotel.
The point at which you pop the question is entirely up to you, but trust us - you’ll know when the time is right.
This Christmas proposal is as old as the hills, but is still used today for good reason.
By hanging the engagement ring from your Christmas tree, you can surprise your partner either on Christmas Day morning or before.
Just lead them into the room with your hands over their eyes, walk them slowly up to the tree and reveal the new addition to your decorations. It might take them a while to spot it, but when they do, a “yes” is almost certainly guaranteed!
We hope we’ve given you plenty of inspiration for your Christmas marriage proposal.
It’ll be nerve-wracking and exciting in equal measure, but you really can’t pick a better time to pop the biggest of big questions.
