17 original marriage proposals to surprise your partner with

Are you planning to propose to the love of your life? Apart from the engagement ring, you obviously need a plan for your marriage proposal. We like to give you inspiration with these 17 original wedding proposals.

Together on an adventure

1. Let your partner go on a treasure hunt. Start with some pointers at home and guide her or him little by little to his favourite spots. End in a romantic location, such as the beach at sunset or your candlelit garden. At that spot, let your partner read your last message leading to... the engagement ring! When your partner has finally found the ring, it's time for your big question.

2. Nothing more romantic than an original marriage proposal on the beach, right? Write a love letter and take the ‘message in a bottle’ quite literally. Bury the bottle in a well-chosen spot and let your loved one dig up the ring themselves.

3. Photobooth nearby? Take the opportunity to plan an original marriage proposal. Take a few fun photos with your loved one and unearth the ring during the very last set of photos. Nice extra: her or his reaction is already in the picture!

Original marriage proposals for at home

4. As an original marriage proposal, you can make a trail of candles through your place of residence with a sweet note at each candle. Place the last few candles in a circle around your self-written love letter and engagement ring.

5. For the more daring: put the ring on your partner's finger while he or she is asleep. Wake your partner up with breakfast in bed and your beloved will think it was a dream... 100% romantic!

6. Is your fiancé-to-be a bookworm? Buy a copy of your loved one's favourite book and hollow out the inside. Hide the ring inside the hollowed-out side and wait for your loved one to start the favourite chapter....

7. Animal lovers beware, for an original marriage proposal you can enlist your own pet. And using animals during the proposal is always a success. Have your dog walk around with a sign saying ‘Will you marry my owner?’.

Romantic and culinary

8. Surprise your partner with a picnic with a basket full of culinary guilty pleasures. Chocolate, cupcakes, a bottle of champagne... disguise the box of the engagement ring as a praline box. Surprise!

9. For dessert lovers: make a romantic dinner at home and serve your partner a dessert where the request to marry you is written on the plate in sauce.

Original wedding proposals during the holidays

10. Play into the Christmas spiritand hang the engagement ring in your Christmas tree. Suggest decorating the tree together some more with Christmas lights... Your partner's eyes will twinkle when they see the ring hanging!

11. Perfect for the holidays are fortune cookies! You can use this overblown trend perfectly for your original marriage proposal. Have your own cookie filled with an engagement ring instead of a paper message.

Get creative

12. Do you like board games? Then make a special board game in which the engagement ring is hidden. Invite your partner to play the game and wait for the right moment for your original marriage proposal.

13. Go paint together in the park. When your painting is finished, turn it over to each other. Your partner will then read the words ‘Will you marry me?’. 100% an original marriage proposal!

14. Use virtual reality technology to create a romantic experience in which your partner takes a virtual journey through several key moments in your relationship. Finally, have your partner arrive at a virtual location where you are on your knee with an engagement ring in your hand.

Can it be a bit more for your original marriage proposal?

15. Hire a mariachi band and ask them to sing the question ‘will you marry me?’ during a romantic dinner at a Mexican restaurant.

16. Hirea street artist to paint a mural of you and your partner with the text ‘Will you marry me?’ attached. Take your partner for a walk and bring him or her to the location of the mural to ask your partner to marry you.

17. Hire a cinema or theatre hall. Make your partner think you are going to see his or her favourite film. Have the room filled with family and friends and play a video of you asking your partner to marry you. Your friends and family can capture this moment on film so you can reminisce about it for a long time. Afterwards, of course, you don't watch a film but celebrate together with your loved ones.
