Good morning! My dad sent me this proposal yesterday (thanks dad!) and thought I would share it with you. I like that this gentleman was thinking outside the box when he asked Tim Tebow and ESPN760.com to assist him in his marriage proposal; however, I think if you plan to use a celebrity (which in some cases could be very cool for your gal) it needs to be done in an overly thoughtful way to keep it personal. Check out the proposal video below.
First, I want to say how cool it was of Tim Tebow to participate in a marriage proposal. When I watched the proposal, I feared this guy was such a big fan of Tim Tebow so HE wanted to propose to his girlfriend using this pro-athlete and the idea just stopped at that. No personal touches, no details, making the proposal more about Tebow than his fiancée. I guess I am wondering if it’s what SHE would have dreamed up for her perfect proposal scenario. Maybe it was. I just believe adding a few more details, like her favorite flowers and or giving a proposal speech rather than just popping the question, would make it more personal. This way she would have more time to let the moment sink in. Again, I applaud this guy’s creativity. I just want to encourage gentlemen to not only consider or get stuck at the big picture when proposing because many times it’s all the details that make a proposal story go from cute to incredible! Just some food for thought.
See you tomorrow for Kendall’s “We Say Yes Wednesdays.”
Love,
