This week The Heart Bandits have provided you a Chicago Marriage Proposal feature and later on in the week we will be writing about Chicago Proposal Ideas. So it only seemed natural that if we are going to help you propose in Chicago, otherwise known as the “Windy City”, then we should probably talk about how to weather proof your proposal.

Assume It Will Be Windy

You can’t go wrong if you plan for the worst.  If you are proposing using any kind of props, anchor them down to make sure they don’t get blown away.  If you are using any kind of signs, make sure that the material is sturdy enough to withstand some strong winds.

Plan for Rain

Depending on the time of year, plan for rain.  Even if it doesn’t say it will rain, plan for it anyway so you don’t have to stress out about it.  If you are proposing outdoors, either rent a portable cover or bring a huge, 2 person umbrella.  When in doubt, propose indoors!

Plan for the Cold

You don’t want your sweetie shivering in the freezing cold while you propose.  If you are going to propose outdoors in a romantic setting, bring a portable heater or arrange to have one there.  If you are going to propose somewhere really cold like the snow, bring her a super warm jacket.

Plan for the Heat

If you are going to be proposing outdoors and standing or sitting outside for a while, arrange for there to be fans around if it is going to be a scorching hot day.  No one wants to be proposed to while they are dripping in sweat.  Trust me.
