The following tips will give you advice on how to propose marriage:

1. You should be almost certain that when you ask she’ll say “yes!” If you’re not entirely certain, then you probably haven’t been seeing each other long enough!

2. Try and surprise her, so be careful who you tell! If she knows you’ve got expensive reservations at a fancy restaurant and it’s something you’ve never done before then she’s going to suspect your plans!

3. You’re thinking of proposing at the Football game? You need to be extra sure she’ll say yes otherwise it’s going to be a humiliating experience! You don’t want her to say yes simply to spare your blushes only to say no later!

4. Make your proposal personal, you know her better than anybody else after all! Never completely carbon copy an idea or she’ll feel cheated!

5. Guard the ring like it’s your precious! Never bury it in sand or give it to a silly waiter on minimum wage to bring over with desert!

6. Make sure you go down on one knee! It’s old and corny but it’s what she always imagined her proposal would be like!

Almost all wedding you are fortunate to attend, the bride and groom will have spent some time choosing a wedding favor for all their guests. To save time when there is so much else to think about, it’s a good idea to choose an easy wedding favor idea that has a similar theme as your wedding and then just change the colors and you’ll be able to make each look a little different. Although an unusual wedding favor, bookmarks can be very well received as they can be completely personalized and easily created on any home computer and with a photo of the bride and groom plus all the wedding information, they will be something every guest will cherish.

Bookmarks are best printed on a quality card; ivory is a good color but that’s only a suggestion as you may have a color in mind that matches the wedding theme perfectly. For people that have a sweet tooth then perhaps candy is a more preferable option which could be in the form of a personalized bar and these can be bought from specialist companies for as little as just over a couple of dollars which isn’t too expensive if you don’t have hundreds at your wedding. However, there is no reason why you shouldn’t try your hand at designing a wrapper on your home computer using a publishing program or even Microsoft Word and it is an easy wedding favor to produce.

However you might be wondering what would be great items to give that will fit the fall theme for your wedding. The good news is that there are plenty of such items available this season. Here are some of the more popular ones that have come up in past seasons.

The first is popcorn. Popcorn is a common fall treat especially with the corn harvests coming in. The best thing about this treat is that it can be good plain with some salt or you can take it to the next level with caramel and cheddar flavors. An interesting variety I came across was cherry pecan popcorn. It was a healthier version of cracker jacks with dried cherries, pecans, and plain popcorn. This will definitely be a favorite with people who want more healthy snacks.

Whether you want an outdoors wedding with the rustic feel of autumn or a more traditional wedding in a church, you will be able to find autumn wedding favors that fit your style.

It is surprising that more people don’t think of fall as a great wedding season as it has so many wonderful attributes. To start, it is great wedding weather. Although fall weddings are more formal than summer weddings, it can still be warm enough to pass on the tuxedo and go with a suit for the groom and a strapless dress for the bride. Deeper into the season the bride will need sleeves and the tuxedo much more fitting. Also, because of the changing leaves you have your color palate picked by nature. It is very similar to spring but with earth tones like tan added where you had greens in the spring. For your metals you are best with bronze, brass, or gold to blend with the changing leaves.

The circular shape of your designer wedding ring is a symbol of eternity and the lasting commitment that two people make to be with each other. Many customs actually view the giving of the wedding ring as the last in a number of gifts given to each partner. Today this tradition has evolved into a new way to express the continuance of commitment in marriage with the giving of an ?eternity’ ring, to symbolize the happiness of a lasting marriage.
