Part One: The Ultimate Marriage Proposal Checklist for Men & Women!
When you decide that you want to marry and spend the rest of your life with a person - there are
probably a billion thoughts that will run through your mind. Without a doubt, you would have
fantasised about how your proposal will play out, however, now you want to make it a reality.
At GoldeNet we want to help you create perfect moments with the person you love. So, we created
the Ultimate Marriage Proposal Checklist for both men and women to make sure one of the biggest
milestones in your relationship is a memory that lasts a lifetime.
This is the first step that sets the stage for the rest of the steps that will follow. To plan and execute
the perfect proposal you need to know how to keep this one a secret to maximise the surprise!
When an engagement proposal is unexpected, the other person will be shocked, happy and excited!
So it would be in your best interest to keep your planning and activities as inconspicuous as possible.
If your partner becomes suspicious, do what you must to maintain the surprise. If they continue
pursuing it, let them know truthfully that it is a ‘surprise’. The last thing you would want is to create
friction and an argument that stems from one of the most important events in your life.
Although it does sound rather traditional and old-fashioned, these people spent their whole lives
raising and nurturing your spouse-to-be into the wonderful person that they are today. It really is a
kind sentiment to let their parents in on the exciting news. The best time to ask for a blessing is
before your proposal.
The best way to break the news to them would be in person, or if they live too far away and
travelling to them seems suspicious, then a phone call is good enough. Share as much or as little
about your proposal plans and remember to remind them to keep it a secret! News like this is very
exciting and the last thing you want is for it to be accidentally spoiled.
The engagement ring is the centrepiece of your proposal. It is a powerful statement that symbolises
to your significant other that you’re committed to living the rest of your lives together. A silent vow,
an eternal promise and a clear message that whispers ‘I Love You’ to the person who wears it, and a
message to the world that that person is loved.
Here are some quick things to consider when looking for the perfect engagement ring.

Understanding the diamond is just scratching the surface. To find the perfect engagement ring for
your partner there a few more things you need to know, mainly about your partner’s preferences
and what to look out for when purchasing your ring.
At GoldeNet to help you out with this issue, here are some blogs to help you understand and decide
which ring is the best for you:

You’ve spent all this time researching, looking for and then finally buying the ring. One of the hardest
steps is over. Now your proposal is no longer just a fantasy or idea… it is becoming a reality.
After picking up the ring, your jeweller might’ve given you a beautiful looking box. Just 1 problem… It
is bulky and too obvious! You can’t just hide the box in just any location. If you’re thinking of the
sock drawer or show box, then think again. There will always be a chance that your partner will find
it accidentally.
Here are some things you can do to hide your box:
Chillisauce conducted a survey which asked 10,000 people, ‘When is the best time to propose?’
According to their results, 33% of men feel that during the Christmas season of giving and joy is the
best time to propose. Whereas 23% of women think that Valentines day’s the best time. It might
explain why on social media, you find a lot of your friends and family posting photos of their
engagement rings and proposals around December – February season.
The survey above gives you an outline of the general idea of what other people are thinking. In
reality, you and your partner have had many fond memories and milestones in your relationship,
many of which happened on different days. So, we recommend you choose a day that holds
sentimental value and is of significance to the relationship. Which day that is is entirely up to you.
You can be more liberal when choosing your perfect location.
Here are some ideas for choosing a location:
Be sure that the location you choose suits the mood of the proposal. It is best that you visit the place
at least once to rehearse and play things out in your mind. And remember, get creative!
