When it comes to love, when you know, you know — that’s what they tell you, anyway.
And, while that may very well be true, more often than not, you may not know exactly how to tell someone you love them and want to spend the rest of your life with them.
Whether it’s your initial marriage proposal speech or you’re working on writing your wedding vows, you want the perfect romantic love quotes.
Expressing how you feel can be so tough, especially when the stakes are so high. You’re in love, and this is the story they’ll be telling for years!
The best way to start off a marriage proposal speech is simple: pour your heart out.
Figuring out a proposal idea is hard enough without planning out your whole proposal speech. There’s so much you might include like the little bits and pieces of your love story, all the things you love about your significant other, and your dreams of a shared future.
There is no such thing as a perfect proposal — each marriage proposal speech is special in its own way. However, these five marriage proposal ideas can make expressing your feelings be even more convincing:
1. You should mention your “How I Knew You Were The One” big moment.
2. Communicate what you love about the person you’re proposing to.
3. Talk about how much you’ve changed for the better.
4. Express gratitude.
5. That you’re committed for life.
Here are 50 romantic quotes to inspire you when crafting your marriage proposal speech.
