Why Is New Years Eve a Great Day to Propose Marriage?
Proposing on New Year’s Eve creates a celebratory, hopeful and nostalgic vibe. The fireworks in the sky and twinkling decor can provide a fairy-tale setting you’ve always wanted as the new year dawns and becomes a metaphor for the new life you are beginning together.
A Celebration of New Beginnings
New Year’s Eve stands as a holiday common to all, worldwide, the moment when old meets new.
The past, because New Year’s Eve is cyclical, returning every year, and is a reflective time. Possibilities, including beginning a life together; the new, for each year promises something completely different.
New Year’s Eve represents new beginnings, resolutions, and new stories; this can be paralleled with the couple leaving their individual lives behind and attempting to forge a new future together.
Traditions, such as the practice of making resolutions, can be similar to the signing of marriage agreements or marriage licenses, where you make couple intentions to unite two people’s lives in a way that inspires a strong launching pad for a life together.
And just think of the added benefit that proposing on New Year’s means you have a beautiful and special reason to celebrate New Year’s every year—the engagement anniversary! It’s a romantic sentiment for moving on and moving forward together in kindness and grace.
A Naturally Romantic Setting
Indulgently cozy and intimate, a picturesque winter setting can create an ideal atmosphere for popping the question to your sweetheart. Nothing but the warm glow from a candlelight dinner, a cabin in the woods with snow- dusted trees or twinkling party lights in the wintery air can really set the stage for a proposal.
There is evidence that people are happier in natural settings. If you and your partner spend every free moment hiking, camping, or sailing, you’ll want your proposal and wedding to reflect that.
