When planning your marriage proposal, there are a lot of things that are absolutely necessary; the time, the venue, the ring, and all of the logistics necessary to bring everything together while still keeping the proposal itself a wonderful surprise. It can be easy to get caught up in all of the big concerns, and accidentally neglect the smaller touches that can make such an amazing difference in your proposal.
Music is definitely one of the biggest items that can fall by the wayside, and that’s especially frustrating since there are so many good, simple options for including music in a proposal. The only decisions that have to be made are really the choice of music, and the way you will bring it into the proposal.
The choice of song is a straightforward judgement call: you have to use your own intuition to pick a type other of music that will convey your feelings to her, and a specific song or two that will add a thrill of romantic excitement to the proposal. This is a truly personal choice, and will be perfectly personal for the two of you.
The medium for the music, however, has a lot more practical implications. If you plan to propose in a fancy restaurant with an in-house musician, then live music will be a snap for you to set up. On the other hand, it will be a pretty steep challenge to bring live music to a breathtaking outdoor proposal at the edge of a windswept cliff. Take stock of your planned venue, and think about all the possibilities you have to choose from.
A small handheld player, such as a phone or a small Bluetooth speaker can be a way to get music into hard-to reach places, and it can also be a very subtle way to start the music up without tipping your hand completely. Larger speakers or PA systems are what you need when you want a sudden blast of music, or when you want to really surround her with the song that you’ve chosen. Live musicians can not only deliver a level of romance and sound quality that is unparalleled, but they can be very easy to bring into some situations on the sly- for instance, it’s very simple to position a musician on the street so that he can start playing just as you and your sweetheart pass by.
Music is a fabulous way to enrich your proposal, and it can add a layer of personal attention and artistry that is hard to create any other way. Don’t forget to start planning it early, so that your proposal music is a perfect fit.
