Congratulations to my sweet friends, Chrissy and Seth, who got engaged last night! I'm so happy for you both. I'm sure you can't wait for the planning, dress appointments, cake tastings and of course the big day.
Decide on the who, what, when, where and why of how you will ask her to marry you. A public place or a private setting? First thing in the morning or late at night? Think about what suits your personalities and relationship. Keep in mind, this is a story she will be telling for the rest of her life and you want her to be proud to tell it. But at the same time, the more complex a plan you concoct, the more difficult to pull off.
Day 9: The Ring
Youve got two options here: pick the ring you know shell love or go with something basic and let her choose the setting and band once shes said yes. If you go with the latter, remember that this is not an insult to your jewelry selection capabilities. You want to make sure its the ring she wants.
Day 8: To Ask or Not to Ask - Permission from Her Dad
Individual circumstances determine whether you should ask permission from her father, either alone or with your intended, or if you should simply announce your plans together. Be respectful of the culture and traditions of your future wifes family. This will help you decide the most appropriate course of action.
Day 7: Schedule Her In
Dont forget to make plans with her for the big day. It would be pretty embarrassing to go through all this effort and then have her tell you Im not available that night, I have yoga class till 8:30 p.m.
Day 6: Dress
Figure out what youre going to wear. Make sure its clean and pressed. Shoes polished. Hole-free socks. Get a haircut. Shave. You want to look and feel your best.
Day 5: Flowers
Theres only one choice: red roses. Lots and lots of red roses. And remember, even if you think flowers dont matter, they do.
Day 4: Food
To cook or go out? Dont cook. Think about it. You want to focus on her, not on cooking. Make a reservation at the nicest restaurant you can afford. Try not to be a nervous wreck, hopefully youll enjoy the meal. If youre planning to pop the question there, ask the maitre d' for a quiet table.
Day 3: Wine
This is clearly a champagne occasion. Pop the question early and then order a bottle to celebrate. You can even call ahead and arrange to have the sommelier bring the champagne out once youve proposed.
Day 2: Practice
Think about what you are going to say and how you are going to say it. Decide if youre a down-on-one-knee kind of guy. Visualize whats going to happen. Youve established a plan for the dinner, now think about how youre going to actually pull this off. Make sure you know how to get to where you are going. Remember these could be some of the most important words she hears from you, so make them memorable.
Day 1: Just Do It!
Give yourself time to get ready. Dont forget the ring. Do plan on having a night the two of you will always remember. Look her in the eye and speak from the heart.Enjoy the moment!

Here's a highlights edit of Linda and Darioush's wedding. The ceremony took place at The Ritz Carlton in Marina Del Rey and the reception followed on the FantaSea One Cruise Ship. There was no lack of energy at this wedding and just about everyone spent the night on the dance floor getting their groove on in celebration of the bride and groom. If you find yourself reading this blog and are considering hosting an event or reception on one of the many Cruise Line Yachts in Southern California, Newport Beach, Marina Del Rey, Redondo Beach or San Diego, you may want to ask what the ships policy is regarding how loud the DJ or live band can play music. While I was shooting the reception, I overheard the cruise ship's event coordinator asking the dj to lower the volume several times and it wasn't even that loud! Low music volume can be a real drag when a crowd is trying to get their groove on;)
