Embrace the rain
It’s autumn! And with autumn comes unpredictable weather. If you just can’t wait for that rare day of sunshine, then it’s time to embrace the splish-splashy beauty of the season. Even drizzle can be beautiful, as long as you’re proposing to your partner.

Carve your initials into a tree
Robyn and Katie created a proposal time capsule in their favorite park. A year after carving their initials into a heart on a tree, Robyn carved “Will you marry me?” above their heart. Fall was the perfect season to enjoy the golden foliage. And now they have the most romantic spot to celebrate their love for years to come.

Throw a surprise “photoshoot”
Keep it intimate and personal. Propose at home! Do as Christopher did: plan an at-home date night. While you’re waiting for the food to cook, start “goofing around” and taking pictures. You’ll capture the exact moment your partner realizes this isn’t a normal date night!

Embrace the bluster!
If you both love the beach, then a choppy fall ocean is a breathtaking backdrop to your engagement. Bring along your friends. As they’re distracting your partner by “taking selfies,” pull out the ring. As you catch your partner off-guard with your proposal, they’ll redirect their cameras to capture your special moment!
