The quintessential marriage proposal is the romantic one- rose petals, violin music, starlight, and champagne. There’s nothing wrong with that- after all, there’s a good reason that this is the most common theme for a proposal- but what if plain old romantic just isn’t your style? The truth is that your proposal can be anything you want it to be, so it’s worth taking some time to make sure that fits you, not tradition. Here are some proposal ideas to consider if you are looking for something different:

Adventurous

Would your sweetheart rather go rock climbing than attend a wine tasting? Then forget the rooftop dinner for two- opt instead for a daring proposal in a thrilling location. Choose an activity that will provide an adrenalin rush, such as ziplining or mountain biking, then bring the day to a climax with your proposal.

Showy

If your girl is a social butterfly who loves action and adoration, then maybe you should consider a splashy public proposal. This is your opportunity to pull out all the stops- hire musicians and dancers, or create a flash mob of friends and family. Think big and bold, and don’t be afraid to try and make a dream come true.

Funny

Do you love each other for your sense of humor? If you’re both jokers, why not plan a lighthearted proposal? Create silly scavenger hunt,  go for an an over-the-top melodramatic proposal, or even just choose a place that brings back memories of a day full of laughter. If the two of you have a long-running private joke, see if you can work it into your proposal for an extra touch.
