Perhaps the most important decision a man ever makes is his choice of lifetime partner and popping the question can be extremely stressful; an ever-present fear that she will say no is never far away from your thoughts when planning a proposal, so you need to feel confident of an affirmation rather than a rejection.

Assuming you are ready to plan your proposal, here are a few cool ideas that might hit your hot button.

Plan a romantic garden dinner

You don’t need any special occasion; make all the arrangements including a private chef and have the starter tray containing a note addressed to her; place it in such a way that when the top is removed, she can’t fail to notice it and she will get the shock of her life when she reads those magical four words! Make sure you have champagne on ice and it will be a night to be cherished; buy one of the exquisite diamond engagement rings you find at the online jewellers.
The long ribbon proposal

This is an oldie but goodie. Tie one end of a very long ribbon to the inside of the front door and as you both enter the home, appear surprised and invite her to investigate by following the ribbon that can be directed around the house and finally, it leads to a sign on the wall with that magical question. This was the way to propose in Hollywood in the 1960s and we think it is one of the best.
Replicate your first date

Take a trip down nostalgia avenue and book a table at that small restaurant, the place where you first got to know each other. The big difference is this time you have a bottle of Dom Perignon on ice and you could even hire a violinist to arrive at the right moment. Be creative and make it a very special evening and leave the proposal to at least mid-way through the meal and try not to give any clues.
