While nice, you can think a little bigger this summer. Do something more original and thoughtful. <\/p>\n<p>Think about her hobbies or anything that she\u2019s been meaning to do. Take advantage of the beautiful weather. Has she always wanted to go sailing? Is she a laid back girl that loves spending a day hiking? Think about what she loves and work your summer proposal around an activity outdoors. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Day at the Beach <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Think of the day at the beach proposal as a new classic summer proposal. A day to just relax at the beach seems like a luxury in this day and age. Plan a beach day where you will present her with that beautiful diamond engagement ring. Since you don\u2019t need to make any dinner reservations for this type of proposal, you can do this fairly spur of the moment. It\u2019s also a fun twist for you both to take a surprise day off of work to hit the shore! <\/p>\n<p>Pack a picnic lunch and some cool drinks. You can have fun with the picnic and pack nice linens, dishes, and tasty foods. Bring some reading material for your lady. Better yet, just take some time to relax and talk to each other! You can also plan your beach time in the evening for a memorable sunset proposal. After spending a relaxing few hours together, take her for a walk along the beach. <\/p>\n<p>Once you are alone along the ocean, take her hand and tell her that there\u2019s no one else you can picture being with. Then present her with that stunning diamond engagement ring. She\u2019ll be so floored, that there\u2019s no way she could say no. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Ring Ideas<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>A special summer proposal deserves a ring that she will be proud to wear. Forget about gold. Pick platinum, which will forever remind her of the sun glinting off of the waves on that special day. For the diamond, a princess cut stone is always a beautiful choice. If you\u2019re looking for a little more wow factor, consider a three stone engagement ring. With a thoughtful summer proposal, you\u2019ll be happily engaged before you know it! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re planning on presenting her with that perfect diamond engagement ring, so you want your proposal to be out of this world.
