What do you say?
Where do you propose?
Will it be a surprise?
When is the best time to propose?
What if she says “No” when you propose?
So many questions! I’m real clear on the fact that making the decision to propose is one of the most important decisions of your life because you are communicating your desire to be husband and wife “until death do us part.”
For me, before I proposed, I asked God for confirmation that Syreeta is my wife-to-be. Once I received confirmation, I asked God to reveal how, when, and where I should propose.
After purchasing the engagement ring, I wasn’t sure how I would propose. And then one evening, while journaling, I believe God gave the answer to me. He put on my heart to propose to Syreeta during my upcoming family reunion in August.
Weeks passed and now here I am, at the family banquet on Saturday night, with 200+ family members. I ask for the microphone to say a few words to the family. I talk about how much family means to me and then I ask Syreeta to join me. She has no idea what’s going on. She walks nervously towards me in the front of the room. We hold hands. I continue, “Family, this is my lady and I want to let you know how much I care for her.” I drop to one knee and say, “Syreeta Michelle Mackey, will you be my wife?” Everyone starts applauding. Cameras flash as Syreeta says, “Yes.”
So that’s how my proposal for marriage went.
Is there one right way to propose?
No! Absolutely not!
Regarding what to say when you propose marriage, I encourage you to speak from the heart and be authentic with your intentions.
Making a proposal for marriage is no joke. So be sure to get some pre-marital counseling so you are clear as to what it takes to experience a healthy and loving marriage and family.
