Why Is Christmas Time the Best Time to Propose Marriage?
Without a doubt, Christmas is one of the most magical times of the year. With the twinkling lights, the family warmth and holiday cheer in the air, it is a perfect time to steal a moment of love and joy.
There’s no better time to ask for your partner’s hand in marriage then during the holidays! Not only is the holiday season the most popular time of year to get engaged, it is also the perfect season for making unforgettable memories.
Since this is the prime season to pop the question, we are sharing some out of the box ideas to make your moment memorable, along with a few pointers that will help ensure your proposal is magical.
A Magical Time of Year
Everything in the world is affected by Christmas. One whiff of pine or jingle of music, or glimpse of twinkling lights recalls the magic of the season. Combine this with the undeniable romance of winter – soft falling snowflakes, fires crackling in the backgrounds – and you have a recipe for an unforgettable proposal.
The Holidays are About Family, Love & New Beginnings
But Christmas isn’t all about gifts or fancy decorations. It’s a time to embrace family, soften our hearts and embrace beloved traditions, both familiar and novel.
Now is the ideal time to take a life altering plunge and engage in new traditions, as well as honoring old ones, with the person you love the most.
A Sentimental Time of Tradition
Christmas is a time for sentiment. From the promise of presents to the food to traditions, there’s a sense of togetherness and nostalgia that the season brings. Utilizing some of these older traditions as part of your proposal can create a romantic moment.
Good examples would be decorating the tree together, a romantic Christmas Eve dinner by candlelight and Christmas lights, or baking cookies together.
By proposing during this period you are linking your romance to family traditions, and helping ensure that your engagement will become part of your life’s great story.
Family Gatherings & Celebrations
Christmas is, for many, a family reunion.
If you and your partner tend to be close with your families, proposing during a family get-together or holiday celebration can be especially meaningful. Envision how you would feel to have friends and family present to witness the proposal and soak in all the joy.
Your proposal will be one that is not only unforgettable to the two of you, but one that will be unforgettable for the two of you and everyone involved.
Cozy & Whimsical Atmosphere
There is a warm and whimsical feeling associated with winter that gives everything a bit of magic. Crackling fires, blankets, hot cocoa, twinkling lights—Christmas is by design romantic.
Sharing a moment on the couch, you’re enjoying time watching the stars or a enjoying short walk underneath them, the coziness of the season often lends itself to suggesting the season’s proposals are more personal.
