Your Marriage Proposal Story In Your Wedding Ceremony

When I meet with couples I love to hear their proposal stories. You can tell a lot about a relationship and the personalities involved by hearing about how a couple got engaged.

For some, it is quite straight forward, no big event. When my wife and I decided to get married we were holidaying in Provence, France having a wonderful meal in a restaurant when we just got started about spending the rest of our lives together. “Shall we get married, then?” I told my now wife. “Yeah, alright, “ she replied….beaming!” And that was it. We still have the empty of bottle of wine we drank that evening to celebrate our engagement. We use it as a candle holder and is a frequent reminder of that special but completely unplanned moment.

For others, there is lots of planning, big gestures and amazing surprises to be had. I love to re-tell the proposal story in the introduction to my wedding ceremonies if it is appropriate and the couples want me to. They usually do.

Including a couple’s love story: how they met, their dating experience and how the proposal of marriage occurred, is a beautiful and wonderful way to make a wedding ceremony personal, intimate and meaningful. Feel free to get in touch to find out more.
