It’s been called the most wonderful time of year, but are holiday engagements the way to go? According to most Hallmark movies, it seems so. But this is your moment. It’s pretty big. If you’ve been thinking of proposing during the holiday season, here are some reasons why it may be right for you, and a few tidbits to consider along the way.
So why do so many people get engaged over the holidays?
Built in Holiday Audience
With friends and family around, your engagement may be a moment you want to share with everyone. Or if you’re out at a public holiday event such as the Rotary Lights in La Crosse, the element of onlookers under the twinkling lights sure can be appealing. But take into consideration if your significant other wants that kind of attention. Maybe she’s the type who wants it to be more of a moment between the two of you, and then of course followed by joyfully spreading the news.
More Time Together
Your engagement certainly is worthy of celebration. By proposing over the holidays, you more than likely have more time off work to enjoy each other in your monumental moment. It also means more time to spend with your loved ones as you begin to make plans for your big day.
The Perfect Backdrop
Midwest winters are most certainly beautiful. That being said, they can also take a turn for the worse. If you’re planning an outdoor proposal, be prepared with a back up plan in the event of some freak storm or subzero temps. Another thing to consider is if you’re planning on proposing in front of family or friends who may be traveling to town, delays happen. We’ll keep our fingers crossed you have the perfect backdrop of snow lightly falling from the sky as you pull out that small burgundy box.
It Makes the Holidays Memorable
Any proposal is most certainly memorable, no matter what time of year it happens to be. The holidays are known for celebrating. You may want to add your engagement to those reasons. The more the merrier. But there is something to be said about looking back on the moment you proposed as an event all its own without the jingling bells of the holidays. No matter when you plan on proposing, make sure you’re prepared and enjoy the moment.
