Pulling off the perfect romantic proposal is enough to terrify even the coolest, calmest and most collected gentleman. But you have already figured out when to propose, where to propose and how to propose, so now it’s time to pop the big question. Are you destined to fumble through the proposal, just hoping to get the correct words out? Nope! Here is our 4 step process to help you come up with  the perfect marriage proposal speech.

The shortlist to writing the Perfect Marriage Proposal Speech when planning to pop the big question.

1. Brainstorm
2. Put pen to paper
3. Keep it short and decisive
4. Be mindful of the final words

1. Brainstorm

Start with memories of your relationship. Think about how you met, the first time you laid eyes on her, the moment she was no longer a “friend” but someone you wanted to date, what you were doing when you realized you absolutely wanted to marry this girl, why you can’t imagine doing life without her, Trust us, this will definitely help you come up some romantic things to say while delivering your marriage proposal speech.

2. Write it Out

Spend a little time jotting down all your thoughts about your memory (from step 1) on paper.  You and your significant other have a million inside jokes —choose one or two to lighten the mood. Now you can evaluate and organize the reasons you have on paper that mean the most to you (and her). Now you should have a beginning and middle to your marriage proposal speech. You’re getting close!

3. Make it Short and Decisive

How long should a marriage proposal speech be? The answer is about ninety seconds long on average. But a one minute proposal speech is a good goal. This timeframe allows you to organize a meaningful but manageable marriage proposal speech and gives your proposal photographer enough time to capture the moment perfectly. That’s why it’s helpful to consolidate your thoughts (step 2) so you share what matters most and don’t have a million things to remember (even though you have a million good things to say, right? wink, wink.) If you feel like there is too much to say and you don’t want to cut it short, we recommend writing a Love Note.

4. Final words are important

Undoubtedly the question, “Will you marry me?” is your grand finale; but the final words leading up to the question are important. When you first drop down on one knee and she realizes what’s about to happen, she’ll most likely be so surprised, giddy, flustered, excited, emotional, etc. that you’ll want to give her a few seconds to grasp what you’re saying so she actually hears you. This is precisely why you should save your most special comments for the end of your “marriage proposal speech.”

When you’re all through, don’t forget to rehearse it! Although it might sound foolish, rehearse what you plan to say during your proposal speech. You might forget some of the things you wrote down, but even while it won’t seem that way, practice will make it sound more natural. Additionally, you will be less likely to fumble over your words when you’re down on one knee.
