Congratulations! May she always have the wit of Tracey Ullman and the body of Gisele Bündchen. To make sure this is the last proposal you’ll ever have to deliver, first make the moment all about the two of you. This means you should resist the urge to tell everyone you know before you propose, says Dr Judy Kuriansky, author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide To Dating. Yes, this includes her best friends. The next step is setting up the occasion. You don’t need an audience or to rent a hot-air balloon. Instead, plan a day that demonstrates how well you know her. Pick a place you’ve enjoyed together before or choose a significant date, like the anniversary of the day you met, then pop the question. When she says yes, all that’s left to do is pucker up – and kiss your independence goodbye.
