It's finally ready! After many weeks of hard work, the Ultimate Engagement Guide is live and ready for purchase at only $4.99! It has 250 proposal ideas - over half of which you won't find anywhere on the site. With over 85 pages, I discuss everything from marriage proposal etiquette to how to pick the perfect ring. This very detailed book is the ultimate wingman but, if that's not enough, I'm also throwing in my personal help to anyone who purchases the book. I can't wait to hear the … [Read More...]



The Ultimate Scuba Diving Marriage Proposal
In May 2015 I received the loveliest request from Christian to help him plan an underwater proposal in Roatan, Honduras. Having been a scuba diving instructor there previously, I could not have been more excited to get involved with this scuba diving proposal. There are a few things you need to get in order to have a perfect scuba diving proposal. The first is a dive shop that's willing to help. In this case, both Coconut Tree Divers (my home shop) in West End and Infinity Divers in West Bay … [Read More...]

Slammin’ Valentine’s Day Gifts Under $75
If you’re saving for a ring (or you just bought one!), you won’t exactly have ample cash floating around the house. With Valentine’s Day approaching, you only have a few options. You can tell her you’re saving and spoil the surprise, tell her you’re literally spent after forking out for her ring (a little mean) or just give her something that is so beautiful and high-quality she’ll just assume you splurged. My fave option is the third one, but I admit it can be hard to find goods that fit … [Read More...]

Comic Book Marriage Proposals – When Superheroes Meet Their Ultimate Sidekicks
I've seen a lot of unique proposal ideas in my time but, when Russel Geyushev of Your Comic Story popped up in my inbox asking if I'd ever seen a comic book marriage proposal, I was stunned! What a strange and wonderful idea. After looking at his creations, I knew these beautiful stories wouldn't just appeal to comic book geeks so I spent some time with Russell to figure out just how these gorgeous books come to be. I'm doing this post in a question and answer format and, alongside the … [Read More...]

Valentine’s Day Proposals with Rings Under $1,500
Valentine’s Day is the second most popular day for marriage proposals (behind St. Nick and that whole Christmas brigade). While I am personally a fan of more obscure days (like proposing to her on YOUR birthday which most women would never expect), Valentine’s Day is, for some women, the Holy Grail of proposals. If this is your case, embrace it with gusto and indulge her with this one teensy weensy romantic ideal… Keeping your ring to under $1,500 doesn’t have to be tough. Look, that’s a … [Read More...]

Considering a winter wonderland proposal? Think Canada!
Yeah, I know...the title threw you off! Being a Canadian girl now (since I moved here from South Africa at seven) I've always been a bit blind to the beauty of the Canadian winter. I say blind but I think "freezing my ass off so badly I can't think straight enough to enjoy the snow" is a better description of the past 23 or so years (give or take a few ;) I'm being serious - check out the photo of the giant-ass icicle outside my front door ---> In any case, when my future … [Read More...]
