So you’re going to pop the question and you feel a little nervous, don’t you? You’re worried that she won’t say yes, the something will go wrong that day, that it won’t be her “dream proposal!” The fact that you have butterflies in your stomach even THINKING about the proposal signifies the importance of the moment in your life. You KNOW that once you pop the question, your life will never be the same- and in the best way! Think of all the other times you had jitters before things: your first date with her, the first time you held her hand, the first time you kissed her, the first time you uttered “I Love You”. You still went ahead with those things because you knew in your heart how much they meant. The outcome of taking the leap of faith was your very own love story, and this is just another chapter. Your proposal is a moment for you and her to bond, heart to heart and soul to soul. You are asking her to take your hand and make the ultimate promise. This is a true expression of your love. Your relationship is already so strong, beautiful, and solid. You just must remember that, even though the proposal feels scary and nerve-wracking now, it will forever be on your list of happy memories next to the first kiss and the first time you said “I love you.”. So until it’s a distant memory, take a deep breath, soak in the moment, remember the terrifying yet exhilarating moment when you start to get on one knee, and take snapshots of the look on her face as she says, “YES!” After all, these moments will be part of your Happily Ever After!
