Marriage Proposal Ideas- Propose at Home

• For a simple surprise, after she goes to bed, go to her jewelry box and replace her everyday ring with the engagement ring. She’ll be completely shocked in the morning when she goes to put on her regular ring.
• Draw a bath and place a floating candle or how about a rubber duck in the middle of the tube with a ring tied around its neck. Make a path of roses leading to the tub. (And make sure the drain is well-plugged!)
• After sprinkling  flower peddles on the floor of your favorite room in the house, put a dozen candles side side  along the flower path,  lay one single rose in the middle and a ring inside peddles of the rose. Now, light the candles and turn off all the lights.
• Slip the ring on her finger while she’s sleeping and wake her with champagne and strawberries. At first, the gesture will simply seem romantic – the real surprise comes when she notices her new piece of jewelry.
• Tie a red velvet ribbon from one spot in your home to another. Attach little notes recalling perfect moments in your relationship along the way. You wait at the last stop, ring in hand.
•  Order take out,  light two large candles and put your favorite romantic music on and make it comfy to eat on the floor. After dinner serve his or her favorite dessert and place the ring on top or have the the ring  box on the plate

Maui Wedding Photographer-  Nicole Sanchez owner of Behind The Lens Maui captured these “Wedding cake Photos”. The wedding cake pictures were taken at a local Maui wedding this September.

Why a Wedding Cake?

Beginning in early Roman times, the cake has been a special part of the wedding celebration. A thin loaf was broken over the bride’s head at the close of the ceremony to symbolize fertility.  The wheat from which it was made, symbolized fertility and the guests eagerly picked up the crumbs as good luck charms.  During the Middle Ages, it became traditional for the couple to kiss over a small cluster of cakes.  Later, a clever baker decided to amass all these small cakes together, covering them with frosting.  Thus, the modern tiered cake was born.  Also visit our section on “Choosing your Wedding Cake.”
