Why Is Christmas Time the Best Time to Propose Marriage?
Without a doubt, Christmas is one of the most magical times of year.
The twinkling lights, the coziness of family, that “holiday air” and cheer – it all makes for the perfect setting for loving, joyful, intimate moments.
Is there a better time to pop the question than during the holiday season? Not only does the Holiday Season hold the highest rate of engagements, it is simply the best time of year for making magical memories.
The Christmas season is ripe for popping the question and we’re about to help you with creative ideas to make that moment stand out from the rest and advice to guarantee that your proposal is a magical experience.
A Magical Time of Year
Everything is made new at Christmas. Whether it is the twinkly lights, the smell of the pine, the music – something about it just feels special. Factor in the romance of winter, with its soft snowflakes and crackling fires, and you have a scene destined for an unforgettable proposal.
The Holidays are About Family, Love & New Beginnings
Christmas is about much more than giving presents and putting up lights and pretty decorations. It’s a time to be with those we love, to be more open hearted, to embrace and lean into old traditions and new ones. What better time to join in a life-changing commitment than now, to introduce new traditions and to carry on existing ones with the person you love the most?
A Sentimental Time of Tradition
Christmas is a sentimental holiday.
From opening presents to enjoying holiday meals to reminiscing about traditions, many aspects of the season invoke connection and nostalgia. Including some of the old traditions in your proposal can create a romantic moment out of it.
Imagine such activities as putting up the tree together, a romantic Christmas Eve candlelight dinner by twinkling Christmas lights, or baking cookies together. Proposing at this time would link your romantic narrative with the beautiful narrative tradition of family and your engagement would be a part of the bigger story of your life.
Family Gatherings & Celebrations
For most families Christmas is also a time of gathering. If you and your partner are both very close with your families, proposing at a family gathering or during the holidays can offer a little something more special.
How wonderful it would be to have all of your closest family and friends around you to see the moment of your proposal and happiness!
It won’t just be the two of you who will never forget the proposal; an experience will be created for all those involved.
Cozy & Whimsical Atmosphere
The winter months have a magical, cozy feeling; it is a time when everything “feels” magical.
Crackling fires, blankets, hot cocoa, twinkling lights… Christmas just lends itself to romance. Cozying up on the couch or taking a stroll among the stars, there’s no doubt that the closeness of the season can lend an intimate touch to your proposal as well.
