How To Propose Like A Royal

How To Propose Like A Royal

You call your significant other “the queen of your heart,” and you’ve never been happier than when treating her every wish as your command. You may already have wooed your honey into returning your affections, but now you’re about to take a much bigger step: asking her to marry you.

How do you lure your sweet thing into occupying the throne next to you until death do you part? Arm yourself with a gold engagement ring and our tips, and remember: all’s fair in love and war.

Give Her The Helen Treatment

Helen of Troy was the Queen of Laconia, and her beauty earned her the moniker of “the face that launched a thousand ships.” Show your sweetie that you think she’s just as stunning by telling her to put on her nautical dress, then take her to the shore. Hire local fishermen ahead of time to float “Will you marry me” signs in the water so that all you have to do is drop to one knee and pull out the ring.

Let Her Eat Cake

Marie Antoinette is one of the most famous royals in French history, notorious for her extravagant lifestyle and fabulous outfits. Though she eventually met a sad end at the guillotine, you can promise your stylin’ sweetheart a much brighter future with the ring in your pocket. Propose to her in a suit while on a trip to Versailles to really sweep her off her feet—then take her to a bakery to celebrate by eating (what else?) cake.

Be Her Prince William

Ok, so you may not be second-in-line for the throne, but that doesn’t mean you can’t romance your girl just like William did Kate. So go ahead: book a romantic getaway in Kenya, tell her to wear her McQueen dress and get down on one knee just as the orange sun begins its descent toward the horizon. Even a duchess couldn’t ask for any better.

With a gold engagement ring this beautiful and a proposal this regal, you won’t need the crown jewels to convince her to say yes.
