Always be ready to say “Yes”!

The story of your marriage proposal will be one you tell repeatedly in your lifetime. It is the beginning of a new chapter in your love story, and it deserves a great start. Whether it happens at a fine dining restaurant or Washington Park, being prepared for that moment is essential. As you’re gearing up to accept, we have put together some tips to help you say “Yes!” with grace. Our experts at Exclusively Diamonds are here to help you look and feel your best to create an unforgettable proposal.

Be Photo Ready for the Moment

Candid photos happen, we’ve all been there for a bad picture. It is easy to plan for a proposal that happens at an anniversary or special date, but what about the coffee shop? Expect the unexpected, a regular manicure can really elevate your photos when your partner slips on a classic engagement ring during a surprise proposal. We can’t predict the exact moment when they will propose, but you can look your best. A comfy cowl neck sweater for a starlit night walk could be the perfect fit for a candid streetlight pic. A quick look in the mirror to do a make-up and hair check can go a long way for likes on your engagement post.

Take a breath and calm yourself

Fumbling over words while the cameras are rolling is the worst. We know how tempting it can be to blurt out the first words that come to mind. We have all had an embarrassing moment captured, but your engagement video deserves better. Take the second, take the breath, just wait. This memory is for the rest of your life and it deserves to simmer a little bit. A small breath can help to bring you back to center to be the best version of you for this moment. We know it’s easier said than done, but staying calm in the moment can be the savior of your memory.

Let Your Partner Shine

As much as this is your moment, it is also your partner’s moment, too. As their nerves are running high, focus on them, give them your full attention. As they drop to one knee and ask, “Will you be mine forever?” It may be easy to get lost in the moment, but being present will make your memory much more special. Take your breath and look your partner in the eye, smile and remember what brought you both to this moment, together.

Lose Yourself in the Moment

While it’s important to keep yourself composed during your proposal. Let yourself be swept up in the moment. Embrace the joy and excitement of your new chapter of your love story. Whether it’s a bold gesture in public or a quiet proposal shared between just the two of you, remember, this is your story and your memory.
