Make Your Proposal Personal

By Michele,

When people come to The Heart Bandits and ask us how to propose, the number one piece of advice we give is to make the proposal personal.  No matter what your marriage proposal idea is, it needs to be made up of personal memories, private moments, and be representative of your relationship.  Check out this proposal we created for a Singapore couple visiting Beverly Hills.

Years ago, Lim and his girlfriend were separated by distance so he gave her a wooden airplane and said that if she ever wanted to see him he would always fly to see her.  We built the proposal concept on that.  When the couple went for an unassuming walk in a park, they came upon a tree that had similar wooden planes hanging from the branches.  Lim stopped under the tree to talk about the time he gave her the plane years ago.  They continued to walk and next they saw a tree with pictures from their relationship and love letters from Lim.  The last tree had a violinist waiting for their arrival and she began playing the couples song.  The branches were adorned with huge engagement rings and Lim took his girlfriend under the branches and proposed.  They celebrated with “She Said Yes” cupcakes.  Photo’s are courtesy of Pap the Question.
