Dear Men, Things to Remember When Proposing to Your (Hopefully) Bride to Be
1. Make it as memorable as possible. When I proposed to my wife I wanted it to be memorable in more than one way. I wanted it to be in a beautiful, familiar setting, so that my future wife would be comfortable, yet delighted at the same time. I also recorded the whole thing, so that we could watch the whole thing over and over again years later.

The Fear of Putting a Ring on It
I've been with my boyfriend for almost six years now. While we have had our ups and downs in the beginning stages of the relationship, I like to think we are far stronger than ever before. Most people who have met us usually say the same thing. They also, after finding out how long we have been together, are shocked that we have not tied the knot already. Usually, I bypass this comment by mentioning how young we are, how we have a lot on our plate with moving, and how it just isn't the right time for us.

How My Wedding Came a Lot Sooner Than Expected
It was Labor Day weekend of 2016 when I had met my husband for the first time. I had went to meet a friend of his who had never been to New York City before and my husband was there to give him the tour. I had met the friend through an online dating site and thought it was good to meet. Now the friend had mentioned to me that my now husband was going to tag along since it was his first time in New York City and he just wanted to see around Manhattan so I said that it was ok and we had met that Saturday before Labor Day.
