"Do you want to marry me?"
These are simple words that in the life of a couple represents a turning point, the evolution and start of a life-long journey together.
Dear future husbands, don't underestimate the importance of how you propose, because, be it over-the-top or banally romantic, it can become the object of stories that get passed on to your children and grandchildren. You shouldn't only think carefully about the words to use and the ring but also the setting for this wedding prelude. There is often a lot of talk about where to host a wedding but little about the place of proposal which in reality, remains in the hearts and minds of the couple for a long, long time.
The most important aspect to consider is the context. It should make the 'petitioner' feel at ease and relaxed. In the end, even the most exhibitionist of people feel a little tense in such moments.
A dinner, a stroll or simply a sunset can be more than enough to make this act a great and unforgettable moment.
A hint: the lovers oak tree in the Villa Acquaviva garden. It's said that even a young marchioness capitulated here.
