How should I pop the question?

Popping the Question. Chances are that, since you're visiting this site, you've probably already popped the question. But, if you haven't and need a few pointers on how to propose to your future wife, let us help make it easier for you.

First rule: Now this seems pretty self-explanatory, but you should probably have a good feeling that she'll say yes. Test the waters and make sure you're both looking for the same thing.

Second rule: Determine the perfect location and occasion to ask her the big question. Sure, you've heard stories of the half-time proposal or billboard sign. But most women really just want a sweet, romantic proposal that will get them teary-eyed for years when they tell the story to their friends. And remember, you can never go wrong when you get down on one knee ... women love that.

Here's a few snazzy suggestions on how to do it:

• Plan a surprise dinner at a fancy restaurant. Do it in style ... consider renting a limo and think lots of roses.

• Cook a romantic dinner with candlelight, flowers, soft music and all that mushy stuff that makes girls weepy.

• Plan a perfect picnic for two and bring a tape/CD player with your favorite song.

• Plan a cozy getaway in the mountains, at the beach or in the city. Be imaginative.

• Arrange for a hot air balloon ride and propose over a scenic location.

• Consider special holidays, anniversaries or dates that are important to both of you for special significance.

• Short and sweet ... get down on one knee, hold out the ring and ask her to be your wife.

Rule three: Wait until after she says yes to tell people you're going to get engaged. This will prevent people congratulating her before you actually pop the question. Good luck! Once it's official, keep reading below for more helpful tips on how to prep for the wedding.
