Marriage proposals aren’t always easy, especially when you're often left to your own devices. You always want the best for the love of your life. You know you love her dearly and want to marry her simply because she's THE ONE. How are you gonna pop the question? Should it be a surprise? Where’s the best place to propose? What if she says no? So many questions.

You’ve come to the right place! We’ve got the solution for you all written down on this short and sweet list. Say “will you marry me” and sweep her off her feet with these 9 tips for a successful marriage proposal.

1) Discuss about marriage

Of course you want the proposal to be a surprise, but you also don’t want your girl to be caught off-guard either. An honest discussion about marriage and your relationship is important for you and your partner to know if you both are ready to take your relationship to the next level When she’s confident and ready for marriage, proposing to her just becomes a lot easier.

2) Get the engagement ring

Get an engagement ring for your girl. You’ve got to measure her finger width. I’m pretty sure you can do it discreetly since you guys hold hands ever so often. Or just measure a ring that she already owns. A proposal ring doesn’t have to be complicated. We recommend this one from SUEN Jewellers.

3) Choose a venue

Choose a meaningful venue for the proposal to take place. We’d recommend a hotel because a hotel room is easy to decorate and you have enough privacy in there when you propose. If your girlfriend is the shy type, she wouldn’t take a pubic proposal too kindly… she’d probably be nice about it but a private proposal is the safest step.

If you plan to propose around the Klang Valley area, Berjaya Times Square Hotel is a rather exquisite place, located in the heart of KL, which is like the heart of everything tbh.

4) Set the "mood."

It’s the day! You need to set a romantic mood that will sweep her off her feet. Be sure to choose the right kind of music, decorations like helium balloons and scattered rose petals, and scented candles. Romantic music is always the best choice, but if she has a fav song, for example she likes soundtracks from Disney movies like Frozen and Rapunzel, go for it. Get your friends to help you out - the more the merrier… and also easier. You’re not alone in planning this proposal, after all, it’s a pretty big day for everyone’s fav couple.

7) Tell her to wear a nice outfit

Tell your almost-fiancee to wear something nice because you’re gonna be taking pictures today. The last thing any girl wants is to be wearing the wrong outfit on the right day. Let her know that you’re going somewhere really nice too, so that she knows how to dress the part and what to expect from it.

8) Don't be nervous

You shouldn’t be nervous right now. After all, you’re gonna ask the love of your life to be your wife. She’s the person you trust most and love so dearly, and she’d never do anything that would hurt you. So just trust the process - everything will be well.

9) Propose during the day

Some people prefer to propose during the night, after a romantic dinner but evening proposals are always preferred. The logic behind this is so your lady can show off her engagement ring and flowers immediately and she wouldn’t have to wait til the next day. Plus, the happy couple can get good angles with perfect lighting for proposal pics. Anyway, if you’re nervous, nerves only get worse the longer you wait, so don’t keep her waiting and just propose.

All you have to do now is to get down on one knee, say “will you marry me?” and sweep her off her feet. You’ve got this!
