You have found the one person you want to share your life with and grow old with, CONGRATULATIONS! Making it official can be a little nerve wracking. Whether your proposal is: walking along the beach, a scenic helicopter flight to a private beach, “Marry me” written in the sand, a champagne picnic, a sunrise/sunset meal for two. The ideas are endless. Here I have some ideas to consider and things to watch out for when planning your proposal on the beach.
Organising your proposal on the beach.
Get a planner on board! Having someone that can help you plan and coordinate little details behind the scenes will take an enormous amount of stress off your plate. A planner can help you create your perfect proposal.
Hire a photographer – your photographer will be there to save all the moments, the nerves, tears, joy and love. Your kids and grandkids will love reliving how you two started your life together.
Travelling interstate or abroad to the perfect beach, keep the ring as close to you as possible – this means in your carry on bags! Even if you have a good record of not losing bags through airports, this is not the time to be losing bags. Keep the ring close to you at all times.
Checking the weather, sun & tide times and pre planned events in the week leading up to the big question. You will be a weather expert by the time the ring is on the finger!
Pros and Cons for having your proposal on the beach.
There are pros and cons when it comes to proposing on the beach, not that these should deter you, but incase you hadn’t thought of it.
- If you’re not hiring someone to help with coordination be sure to check out the beach rules and what licence you’ll need.
- Most beaches are public and that means you will have people cheering for you!
- Tide times are important, particularly if you want to be close to the water’s edge – some low tides go a far way out.
