Proposals and Vows

If you are in the military, work on different Coasts, go to school in different countries or for any other reason you are geographically separated from your future fiancée and are ready to propose, you may be a little hesitant to ask him/her to marry you do to the fear of rejection. You may feel that it is necessary to look into his/her eyes, hold his/her hand, or execute your orchestrated production that you have been planning to do for months, but in reality, sometimes that can’t happen.

If you truly want to ask that special person to marry you, go for it! Chances are you are going to get a yes with about the same probability over the telephone as if you are sitting on the couch in the same room. If he/she really wants you, it is the offer that counts, not how it is done! Trust me, my husband is in the military and getting married was suggested over an email (by me, of course) while he was out to sea. Four years later, we are still going strong. However, if you are looking for some creative ways to ask that other person to marry you and you can’t be there, be sure to check out tomorrow’s posting for some creative ideas on long-distance proposals.
