What to Say When You Propose
💍 What to Say When You Propose
Simple, heartfelt words that feel like you
You don’t need to memorize a speech. You don’t need to quote a movie.
You just need to say what’s in your heart.
Here’s a simple structure to help—and a few real, personal examples to make it easier.
We’re Midwesterners. We understand it’s not always easy to get the words out. Let us help you to express those feelings when it counts the most.
1. Say what you love about them.
Examples:
“I love the way you light up when you talk about the things you care about.”
“I love how you treat everyone with kindness—even on the hard days.”
“I love how we laugh at the same weird things. No one gets me like you do.”
“You’re my calm. You’re my spark. You’re everything.”
2. Say how they’ve changed your life.
Examples:
“You’ve made me more patient, more hopeful, more me.”
“Since you came into my life, I’ve never felt alone.”
“You make the ordinary feel like magic.”
“You’ve taught me what real love feels like.”
3. Say what you want.
Examples:
“I want to build a life with you—side by side, no matter what.”
“I want your bad days, your good days, your in-between days. All of them.”
“I want to be the one who makes you feel safe and loved, every day.”
“I want forever with you—and I know I’m ready.”
4. Ask the question.
Examples:
“Will you marry me?”
“Will you be my forever?”
“Will you make this official and say yes to forever?”
“Can we keep doing life together—married?”
You don’t need the perfect words.
You just need your words.
Because when it comes from your heart, it’s already perfect.
And of course, a beautiful engagement ring speaks 1,000 words.
Let us guide you—whether it’s:
💍 Picking out the perfect ring
💳 Exploring financing options
💎 Protecting your ring so it shines forever
📝 Or even helping you find the right words to express your feelings
We’re here for every step of your forever. 💖
