Asking your beloved for her hand in marriage is likely to be the most important question which you ask in you lifetime and for beaus of any age it can become a situation which involves a considerable amount of nerves and angst.

Many factors should be taken into consideration so that the optimal conditions are set for success. For example, it is important to consider whether your prospective bride-to be will appreciate being asked for her hand in a public place, in front of friends and family, at a favourite restaurant, in the privacy of an intimate moment alone or at a romantic spot which is part of your shared emotional history. Subsequently, the words themselves should be taken into consideration and if you are particularly lyrically gifted as well as possessing the required confidence , the performance of a self-penned poem or personalised paean has the potential to set the heart of your beloved aflame with romantic passion. Furthermore, consider whether a surprise or impromptu proposal is most appropriate or whether it is best to establish at least some prior knowledge as proper mutual preparation.

Finally, consider the fact that diamonds have been a token of romantic love and commitment for many centuries so it is entirely appropriate that you should choose to incorporate them into your engagement band.
