A couple’s getaway to the beautiful shores of Emerald Isle is the perfect place to plan your proposal. Picking the perfect way to propose can be a daunting and even intimidating task, but we’ve come up with some romantic proposal ideas that she’s sure to love.
Write a Message in the Sand
Once you’ve found the perfect spot on the beach to ask the big question, take a stick and write your message in the sand. Make sure you’ve chosen a spot where the tide will not wash the message away. Now suggest a long stroll down the beach to watch as the sun sets over the water. As you near the spot where your message is written in the sand, let her get slightly ahead of you so that she can read the message. When she turns back towards you, be ready with the ring.
Plan a Moonlit Picnic on the Beach
Plan a romantic evening picnic for two beneath the stars and moon. Be sure the meal is light, clean and simple; such as wine, cheese, fruit, etc. Keep the ring hidden at the bottom of the basket or in your pocket. Once you’ve finished your meal, let her know that you have another surprise. Compare her beautify to that of the night sky and the ocean, then place the ring in front of her and ask the question.
Put Your Proposal in a Bottle
This proposal idea once again involves a picnic, but you’ll want to carry it out during the day time. The meal doesn’t have to be fancy, just make sure you’ve packed some of her favorite foods to show that you listen and know what she likes. Write your message on a piece of paper and stick it in a bottle. Find a spot in the sand near your picnic spot to place the bottle for her to find. Or if you’d rather carry it with you, pretend that you see something in the sand and bring the bottle back over to her to open it and see what’s inside. Once she reads the message, have your ring ready for her.
Hide the Ring in a Shell
Pearls have been hidden in oyster shells for ages and finding one is always a rare and unforgettable experience. So why not see if she can find a wedding ring in one? You will have to find a shell large enough on the beach that is big enough to hold your ring without it getting stuck inside. You can also purchase one easily in one of the local gift or souvenir shops. Then convince your partner to go pearl hunting with you and place the shell in an area where you know she will be able to spot it easily. Once she finds it, have her open it and when she sees does, ask the big question.
Get Your Furry Friend Involved
If there is a furry friend in your relationship, get him involved in the proposal. Find a spot in the yard or on the beach and hide some treats for your dog to find. You may want to practice this one a couple of times beforehand. Once you’ve rehearsed this routine a couple of times, let the dog loose and have the two of you chase him to the spot where he is digging. Make sure the ring is in a box or so it can’t be accidentally eaten. Then have her see what he is digging up. Once she has the ring, get ready to ask the question.
The best part about proposing at the beach is that the possibilities are endless.
