Whenever I tell people that I plan wedding proposals for a living, I get many different reactions. The younger generation normally says “Wow, that is awesome!” The old school folks always say the same thing……..”Whatever happened to the good old fashion just asking someone to marry you?” They don’t see why proposing has to be such a spectacle and why you can’t simply pop the question while sitting on the couch anymore. Well, technically you CAN still propose that way. But for those of you who don’t want your grandpa’s proposal, here are some characteristics of the new age proposal:
It’s Unique
One way to tell for sure that a proposal is a new age proposal is that it is unique. The hip generation wouldn’t be caught dead proposing by putting a ring in a champagne glass! No, we want something unique like repelling down out of a helicopter to propose marriage.
It Costs Money
I am not saying that you have to spend a lot of money, but a new age proposal is never free. The old school proposals were free because they just proposed right at home! A new age proposer is going to spend some kind of money whether it be on a dinner, rooftop, Engagement Planner, or photographer.
It Is Documented
A new age proposal is always documented. Social media is a big part of all of our lives now and we all want to share our special moments with our closest friends. Therefore if you want a new age proposal you must document it whether it be with a videographer, a photographer, an artist to sketch it as it is happening, or just having a friend film it.
