Remember that when you are planning to propose to someone, the event is going to be remembered for the rest of both of your lives. It’s something that everyone in your circle of friends and family is going to ask about. Your kids and grandkids will ask, even some complete strangers will ask.

Choose a location you want to remember. It would be great if you can incorporate a location that is a memory of one of your favorite dates with your significant other. Otherwise, beautiful scenery can create a lovely and memorable back drop. Just don’t propose with the ring on a bridge. Trust me, I know a guy who dropped a very expensive ring. Not a good memory.

I may be romantically challenged, emotionally insensitive and a quart short of doggy doo doo, but in the words of Forest Gump, "I know what love is". Therefore, in no particular order, I have listed the best of my insights and babblings on proposals and such things
