Hello everyone!

Welcome to the topic of the month!

This month we are discussing the very exciting and interesting topic of marriage proposals. More specifically, we’ll be looking at what the best marriage proposal ideas could be. Ones that will make your partner say “YES!”.

When it comes to discovering the best proposal ideas or ways to propose to your partner, it always comes down to your partners personal preferences. After all, everyone has their own unique take on the ‘perfect’ marriage proposal. 

Here at Portia Roberts, we’ve come up with a few of the ‘best marriage proposal ideas’ to help you out if you’re in a need of a little inspiration. Creating a uniquely special moment for your significant other is of the utmost importance. So, here are some of our recommendations:

• Written In The Stars

Want one of the most romantic and heart-stopping outdoor proposal ideas around? Look no further than a written proposal in the sky. Hire a small airplane to write out your message with smoke, or pull a sign behind it with your question.

This dramatic, super-visible and highly romantic way to propose lets the entire world around you know that you want to spend the rest of your life with him/her. Tell your partner you want to spend the day relaxing at the beach. Once there and enjoying your day, casually point up to the sky and ask “What do you think about those sky writers?”. There is no doubt that when she reads the message, the answer will be a resounding “Yes!”.

• Destination

One of today’s most popular ways to get engaged is the destination proposal. There’s something so magical and romantic about being away together. Alone and carving a little corner of the world only for the both of you – Whether it’s in a cosy cabin a couple of hours away or a tropical island on the other side of the world.

Also, just the very nature of being on a vacation elevates even the simplest of proposals to a spectacular level. Picture it – Just you and the one you love in a place far removed from home, which will soon be one of the most memorable trips of your lives. There’s something so idyllic and fairytale like about proposing on vacation.

The best part is planning the destination proposal as the list of possible locations is essentially endless. Does the one you love have an affinity for Parisian culture? Propose under the Eiffel Tower! Are you an adventurous couple? Hike to the top of a mountain and get down on one knee! There are so many possibilities and though destination proposals take a lot more planning – we promise the look of surprise on her face will definitely be worth itwhen she says “Yes!”.

• Helicopter

One of the most incredible and more contemporary ways of sweeping the love of your life off their feet… is by literally sweeping them off their feet via proposing on a helicopter ride.

• Photobooth

You can obtain some fun photobooth props and take her on a photobooth date night. Throughout your photo session, try to capture every fun moment and every little detail. Then, right at the very end, give her a wedding veil prop. As you present her with a wedding ring you’ll be able to capture her reaction to your proposal in pictures.

• Sing Your Love Song

One of the best ways to express your strong heartfelt feelings is through a love song. Sing them a song. Maybe this could be a song you’ve written yourself, or maybe a song that is very significant to your relationship. If you manage to get a song which you wrote and recorded professionally – even better!

• Flashback Movie

This is an incredibly personal and intimate way to woo your partner, by created a short movie compromising of personal pictures and videos. This is sure to elicit fond smiles and nostalgic memories. At the end of the video, walk up to her and pop the big question!

• Romantic Dinner/Family & Friends

If you choose to immediately share this deeply personal moment with your close family and friends then you’ll be sharing such joy. Your loved ones would never forget witnessing such a special and happy moment. With this, we advise you to propose a toast to get everyone’s attention and then go for the big question.

• Message In A Bottle

Want to hear yet another one of the most unique proposal ideas around? Then send your proposal to your partner via message in a bottle. Write out your marriage proposal on a piece of paper – be sure to make it look old by crumpling it or burning the edges – roll it up and place it in a bottle.

Then, whilst you’re at the beach, bury it in sand. Be certain to keep it obvious and not too hidden so she’ll be able to find it.  When she is reading it, be ready to break out the ring.

In conclusion, when deciding that it’s time to take that next step in your relationship – the few chosen ideas we have provided are just some of many. What truly matters is choosing the very best way to take your partners breath away, in whatever form that takes.

Until next time!

This month at Portia Roberts we will be discussing how we, as individuals, can create landmark, memorable moments or special intimate moments with our loved ones – Particularly during our romantic relationships.

There are certain things that make us feel happy. We cherish those memorable moments, holding on to them in our heart as they become tender memories. Much like how you feel good when you achieve something – these are the moments in our life journey that mould us and forever stay with us. The same applies to special moments with our partners. When everything is going well, we tend to capture every moment of our relationships with fondness. Creating many and varied special moments in the process.

When we put all of our best and genuine efforts into a loving relationship we cultivate so many wonderful, irreplaceable moments. They leave a mark on our soul, our hearts and stay with us forever.

But when can we find opportunities to create those landmark moments?

Always remember, aim to exceed your partner’s expectations – From doing the smallest random act of kindness, to continuing to honour your loving traditions that you have built in your relationship. The following events offer a chance to create such opportunities;

• Birthdays and Anniversaries
• Date Nights
• Valentine’s Day
• Travelling / Holidays Together
• Moving In/Living Together
• Proposals and Engagement
• Wedding Day
• Pregnancy and Child Birth

In conclusion, always remember that each day that God has given to us is a blessing. It’s open-ended opportunity for you to once again create special moments, memorable events and a continued commitment to love. It’s worth it and it will last forever.

Thank you for taking the time to read our blog. We would love to hear your thoughts on the topic.  As always, connect with us, share, like and comment.

Until next time!

Welcome to the monthly Portia Roberts article blogs/news section where we discuss a myriad of topics and issues pertaining to love and relationships.

This month, we are all about celebrating the single life. When it comes to the subject of being single, vast amounts of us recognise that our societies, particularly Western ones, typically view a lack of relationship in negative ways – let alone celebrating the potential being single can harbour. However, this month we will not only discuss this subject but we are going to embrace it, expressing how we can learn to be proud and content in leading life without a partner.  So, when God does provide us with our future partners, we will have the ability to learn and express love within our newfound relationships with maturity and appreciation. With this overall attitude in place as a framework, introspective insights will begin to occur that will allow us to truly celebrate every stage of our lives – especially the segments whilst we are single. Remember, the Bible has salient words to say on appreciation and patience:
“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens” Ecclesiastes 3:3

What is it exactly that we should learn, appreciate and celebrate about being single?
Most of us should really look at ourselves and start asking pertinent questions such as, how do I grow from this? How can I enjoy this part of my life? Can I be productive in unique ways whilst being single? When we truly begin to embrace and have fun with our lives whilst single, these four things will start to take place.

1. Self-reflection

Once you start to treasure this freedom with earnest, you will realise that taking time and effort for yourself will unveil what is important to you. You will start to see what you want from life with greater clarity, in turn, revealing what areas in your life you should build upon. For most Christians this is a great opportunity to spend more time in prayer with God and His Word. Ultimately, through this, it will enable you to gain an understanding on how He wants to guide you in your life, including in your love life.

2. New interests/hobbies

When enjoying your time being single, you will naturally have more time to consider and pursue new hobbies and interests. Why not travel the world perhaps? Or aim to start a successful business venture? Instead of endlessly repeating the same dating structure, you can instead freely explore activities that ignite your passion in life.

3. Family and friends

You will learn to enjoy your freedom as a single person; this could very well include reconnecting with family members and friends – Particularly those whom you may have neglected whilst in a long term relationship. You now have the chance to rekindle old bonds that may have faded.

4. Goals and expectations

Above all, this experience will allow you to go on the path of having a better idea about yourself as a person. Enabling you to understand what relationships will truly work for you and not settling for anything other than what’s best for your life. You will be better suited in discovering your ideal match. Your time immersing yourself in being single fosters experimentation, leading to greater observations on what works for you and what doesn’t. This is the basis on forming a healthy and well balanced relationship in the future.

Until next time, thank you for taking the time to read our article. We’d love to hear your thoughts. Stay connected with us and make sure to like, comment and share.
