Ever consider writing your proposal in the snow?

Brrr! It’s getting chilly out here as January fast approaches. Take advantage of this cooler weather and propose in a way that’ll warm her from the inside out.

1. By the Fire

Nothing is quite as romantic as cuddling in front of the fire. Spend a romantic even cuddled up on the couch in front of the fire. Don’t have a fireplace? Never fear! You can either buy a DVD of a fireplace  or even use your xBox or Wii to access youtube on your TV and use the below link as a faux fireplace. Break out the hot cocoa, popcorn, or maybe even a romantic dinner for two. It’s a simple way to set the mood before asking the question of a lifetime.

For those with fake fireplaces….

2. On the Ice

Ice skating is one of those dates that brings back the simpler times that even modern day people crave. Whether she knows how to ice skate like a pro or not, surprise her with a date of hand holding (and maybe wobbling and falling) on the ice. You’ll laugh the whole time, definitely making memories you’ll never forget. Then, out there on the rink, get down on one knee (if you can!) and pop the question. It’ll be the perfect ending to the perfect day.

3. Give her your coat

Chivalry isn’t dead yet. Go on a romantic walk, or even a casual stroll, and regardless of whether or not she seems chilly, take off your coat and wrap it around her. Don’t even ask. If she puts up a fight or even if she simply says “thank you,” tell her to check the pocket. She’ll pull out the ring box and to her surprise, find a gorgeous diamond sparkling back at her. By the time she looks at you, you’ll already be on your knee.

4. The traditional horse and carriage ride

While some may argue it’s cliche, we still think it’s one of the cutest ways to propose that a lot of girls will be heads over heels for– especially when the weather is nippy outside. Cuddle under the blanket as your old-timey carriage takes you through beautifully lit downtowns and parks. Going at night also adds a special touch as you’ll have to cuddle even closer due to the cold and you have the beautiful stars overhead. If that doesn’t set the scene for romance, we don’t know what does.

5. Playing in the snow

Do more than walk in your Winter Wonderland this December and January. Bring out your inner child and work a snow ball fight or even snow man building into your proposal. Not only will she love seeing this carefree side of you, but she’ll be completely caught off guard. So make that snow angel like you’re 6 years old again, and ask your own personal angel to be your wife.
