First of all, our hearts and prayers go out to all those people that have been affected by Hurricane Sandy. We hope that you’re all safe and can get back to normal soon.

Throughout our marriage proposal planning experience, we’ve gotten several emails from people that only have a small window of time that they can propose during. This small window may be because they will only be in a location for a few days, their partner is leaving for somewhere, or an important date is coming up. Inclement weather has sometimes played a role in those situations and they have had to find a way to keep it going.

In a way, this is a very romantic gesture because you’re showing that nothing will stand in the way of your marriage proposal. At the same time, this creates A LOT of stress because the weather can change what you will be able to accomplish. For that reason, here are three ideas for those people that are thinking how to propose when bad weather might occur.

Propose Indoors with Candles

This may happen out of necessity, but being indoors with candles is romantic. You should always have candles in stock for this reason. If you are planning on proposing and the power goes out, make the best out of the situation by aligning your candles in a romantic way. Bring your partner in and profess your love and propose. It will be a uniting experience because of the outside circumstances.

Propose in the Rain

If you really wanted to propose outdoors and it’s raining, the rain is romantic as well. Just only go outside if it’s safe and there haven’t been any warnings to stay inside. If it’s safe enough, take your partner outside and run around in the rain. Find a location where you can still have a view, pause, and tell her that you can’t live without her. It will be like those dramatic movie endings in the rain.

Make a Snow Carving

If the weather has dropped a lot of snow wherever you are, then take a few minutes while your partner is not looking and carve out something in the snow outside the window. This could either be a phrase asking her to marry you, or you can even make a snowman and snowwoman that symbolize you two getting engaged.
