Creative marriage proposals: 3 ideas to break the mold

Three examples on how to propose marriage, which you can follow to break the mold without straying too far from your comfort zone

In recent years, the feats carried out by potential “creative” boyfriends have multiplied and, on the web, it is possible to view videos, which have now gone viral, filmed during the marriage proposal.

If you want to follow in the wake of those initiatives, you will be thinking of surprising your soul mate by making a truly special gesture to ask her to marry you, perhaps personalized by the most significant elements linked to your story: let’s see, then, how to proceed.

The magnetic charm of the unusual

When, in full Humanism, Erasmus of Rotterdam wrote his “Praise of Madness”, he used an ironic tone to highlight an extreme concept: madness is a form of creativity, a way of breaking the mold and, for this reason, it produces positive effects on the human being.

And it is still an extremely current idea, so much so that today the incitements to “be crazy” even come from authoritative figures who deal with something completely different from philosophy and who really think that the singularity of attitudes is the key to making your life richer and more pleasant.

Any behavior of yours can therefore be unconventional and creative, even the marriage proposal you make to the person you wish to share your life with.

Creativity, however, does not mean making sensational or extravagant gestures at all costs: on the contrary, it is often better to remain true to yourself… also to avoid excessively upsetting the person receiving the message who, otherwise, might no longer recognize you!

Rather than trying to be bizarre and original at all costs, try to “stage” something that recalls the common path, respecting the tastes of both, without giving up an unusual method, or one or more elements which, despite being new, reflect the characteristics of your story.

We therefore suggest three examples on how to propose marriage, which you can follow to break the mold without straying too far from your comfort zone.

Three original and creative wedding proposals

Before starting to set up the “set” where your marriage declaration will be represented, make sure that your partner likes something different from the classic romantic or formal proposal: in this way you will not risk confusing her ideas and, in addition to being guaranteed, the surprise effect will also be absolutely appreciated.

So, stay calm, keep the secret about what you are organizing to yourself and… prepare to be amazed!

1. The magical power of video music

Music always manages to send clear messages without the need to add other words: prepare a selection of video clips that contain a precise reference to the marriage request and “randomly” broadcast it during breakfast or dinner, while the TV is on, or play your creation on your PC monitor.

While the images scroll on the screen, the notes of the romantic “Marry you” by Bruno Mars will spread through the air, followed by the sentimental “Marry me” by Jason Derulo and the very current, homonymous ballad by Jennifer Lopez & Maluma.

If your girl is a fan of group dancing, you can close your very personal collection with a lively line dance to the tune of “Marry me” by Olly Murs.

At this point, who could still have any doubts about your real intentions? You will just have to wait for the answer, which – without a doubt – will be affirmative.

2. The irresistible suggestion of images

The most contemporary version of the classic album is the mashup of photos to be created on your smartphone: just download one of the many Image Blending apps from the web, which allow you to superimpose images, retouch them and enrich them with artistic effects, but above all, in specific, to also insert captions that contain sentences for marriage proposal.

This is a very interesting feature that really unleashes the imagination and offers the opportunity to create a very personal composite that will produce a sure surprise effect, remaining forever in the heart and mind of the person to whom it will be forwarded.

3. The “edible happiness” of personalized sweets

The internet is truly a great container of ideas and opportunities: one of these is the online market section of personalized desserts, known for years now, but still very current because the options it offers are always new.

Gummy sweets in a jar with the words “Marry me” written on them, chocolates wrapped in colorful and brilliant foil bearing the very personal “Marry me” brand, but also a large and colorful Lollipop which, from the cellophane wrapping, transmits the message of a declaration of wedding to be enjoyed.

Simple, but effective, even an elegant box of delicious Danish butter biscuits which, inviting your girl to break her diet for a day, will allow her to discover inside a beautiful ring for the marriage proposal: she will only be able to say a double yes, to biscuits and your request.

The opportunity for a welcome gesture… and shared

The suggestions you have just read also relieve you of the doubt about where to propose, because in reality they talk about behaviors that can be implemented in any place, at home or outside, as well as at any time of the day.

Before making any decision, however, try to remove any reasonable doubt about the effectiveness of a marriage declaration which, while retaining a touch of romanticism, will not completely adhere to the canons of the request conducted in a completely traditional manner.

You can also consult with a Proposal planner, who will use her professional expertise to advise you, supporting your choice or dissuading you from continuing on the path of originality.
