Quarantine Giveaway: Win A Placeholder Engagement Ring

A funny home proposal idea in this quarantine would be to tell your significant other that you need to go to the store for “essentials”. Get toilet paper, hand sanitizer, and Clorox wipes! When you get home put the items on the counter with the ring box in the middle! As they notice what is in the middle of the items… PROPOSE with the line- “You are essential in my life and I want to be with you forever, will you marry me?”

I had originally planned on proposing in March on a trip to Scotland that was cancelled. With that out a new idea is this. Our 2 year is coming up end of April. So I’ll recreate places & countries that have special meanings for us. The front porch will be the coffee shop we had our first date at, the dining room the restaurant we started at the night of our first kiss. The breakfast bar will be our favorite pub in Switzerland. I’m getting lots of plants & fake tree’s to make a ‘trail’ to a ‘water fall’ for where we first hiked. One corner of the yard will have different “mountains” we’ve skied, another corner will have the ones we’ve hiked. Another corner, a kids lemonade stand transformed into a European Christmas market. The middle of our yard has a huge tree in which I’ll hang lights & pictures of all our adventures from. She loves her hammock so I’ll have that up & the fire pit ready to go. Place some cows around the yard to represent the highlands of Scotland. We planned on a picnic at the fairy pools on Isle of Skye. So putting up a little wading pool with stones in it. She’s obsessed with finding pretty stones. So the stones will have the words “Will you Marry Me” on them. I’ll be behind her with our dog (can’t leave her out of course) who is getting a bandanna that’ll say “can we keep him?”

Home proposal.
I’d unroll the toilet paper and place the ring inside and mark the tissues before it with “Will you marry me?” I’ll wait in the living room watching TV until I hear a bunch of screaming.

My at home proposal would be, a fun little homemade scavenger hunt, throughout the house and yard. With a journey through our love map, each find would be a special memory that we both love! Next I would call local police department and ask them for a police escort for the dramatic ending! A parade of all our loved ones driving their cars slowly down the street with balloons attached to their cars and confetti out the windows as they pass our front yard, with posters reading. WILL YOU MARRY ME? With each passing car. For her to then turn around and see him on one knee. So all the families could still be apart of the special moment <3

My home proposal would be decorating the inside of the living room full of white and gold balloons on the floor. ( ordered by Amazon for home delivery) with since we can’t leave to go shopping for decorations. I would place our white Christmas lights along with the he balloons on the floor to guide a path way. We have two boys below toddler age I would have them with written signs asking WILL YOU- MARRY US and I’ll have the ? Sign. My girlfriend is the one that does all the shopping for the family so we would set up when she is at the store. That would be my home proposal
