The day you propose to your fiancee will likely be the most important day in both your lives. Many women still yearn for their white knight in shining armor to sweep them off their feet into a faraway kingdom to live happily ever after. You can fill role of the white knight by making your marriage proposal a truly memorable event – one that both of you will cherish forever. While there is nothing wrong with the traditional practice of asking her hand in marriage while bent over on one knee in the middle a romantic dinner in a fancy restaurant, there are plenty of other romantic and innovative ways you can pop the big question.

Choose the right setting. Where you ask your lady (or gentleman) to marry you is crucial if you hope to set the mood and make her proud to share the tale of your engagement with friends and family. The best place to propose depends on your love one’s preferences. By now, you should know if she prefers intimate settings or she likes being the center of attention in a large crowd. You should know if she values old fashioned romance or if she’s a bit embarrassed when it comes to showy affection and enjoys herself best in a relaxed atmosphere. Popular proposal settings include a romantic dinner at one of your homes, a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant or at a location that means something special to the two of you.

Choose the right ring. As soon as you open that box–or oyster or fortune cookie or whatever creative way you come up with for presenting the engagement ring–the ring inside needs to express your overwhelming feelings for her. With a glance, she needs to be awed and be willing to wear that ring for the rest of her life. Take your time when shopping for an engagement ring and don’t be afraid to ignore the traditional diamond if you’re certain that another gemstone is her favorite. You can also incorporate other gemstones along with a diamond.

If you’re not the outdoors type but instead prefer going to clubs and other entertainment venues, consider arranging for a singer or musician at her favorite place to propose to her on your behalf. A jazz club or a piano bar is great for this sort of thing, provided you carefully arrange and choreograph everything in advance. For a change of pace, try proposing through a magic show. You can arrange for the magician to pick your fiancee to come on stage as a participant in a magic trick and then have him surprise her by pulling out your engagement ring out of a hat instead of the expected rabbit or white doves.

Another creative way to propose is to include all of your family and friends in the event by inviting them all to a surprise party for your girlfriend. To make this proposal work, you would either convince your girlfriend that you want to have a quiet dinner at home or at a restaurant with just the two of you. Once you arrive at the destination all of the guests will reveal themselves and while all eyes are on the two of you, you could take the opportunity to profess your love and propose.
