Thou shalt not go viral. Advice from DO

the Do ask the parents, or the father, for their daughter’s hand. It’s a nice gesture of maturity that, I believe, the bride-to-be will appreciate.

fairer Do propose in a location with low noise volume. There’s nothing less romantic than screaming as you’re exchanging romantic, heartfelt words. Also, you want to be able to hear the answer.

sex Do be a gentleman—ask for permission, have a ring and propose on one knee. We asked an expert panel of women who have received proposals for advice, Do cater your proposal to the woman. It’ll show. If she’s thoughts and general lifesaving (or at spontaneous/untraditional, have the ring on you and propose at least proposal-saving) dos and don’ts. To some ridiculous, perfect moment. If she likes things manicured, our surprise, they answered... then plan it out.

Do make eye contact. Sounds simple, but you’d be surprised how many guys start looking at the floor, or worse, a table of women next to them.

Do be in the moment. If the proposal makes her emotional (or, for that matter, makes you emotional), just go with it. If the proposal makes you both laugh, then go with that, too.

Do genuinely and specifically compliment her the moment you see her on the day of the proposal, not just during it. She’ll remember it and it’ll mean more in hindsight.

Do have a camera with you. (A smartphone will come through in a clutch.) Ask a bystander to take your picture together after the proposal—you don’t have to explain what it’s for if you’re keeping the proposal low-key. Some years down the road, you’ll want to have that visual memory.

Do your homework on the ring and what she likes—find someone you can trust and talk to, and go with quality.

Do prepare yourself for wedding planning to possibly start 30 seconds into being engaged (depending on the girl, of course)...

Do remember that this story will be told over and over and over for the rest of your life—make it personal... and epic. Advice from the fairer DON’T sex Continued... Don’t propose on a Jumbotron at a sports event. (But you knew that already.)

Don’t put the ring in food or drink. It’s gross to pull a ring out of a chocolate lava cake and stick it on your finger. Or to awkwardly slurp down your champagne to get to the ring on the bottom like it’s some kind of liquid Cracker Jack box. Also... there’s the possibility of actually putting the thing in your mouth accidentally. That’s not fun for anyone.

Don’t overthink it. Those YouTube videos with marching bands, flamethrowers and Cirque du Soleil acrobats flash-mobbing a girl who’s about to be proposed to? That’s just crazy. And kind of embarrassing and impersonal.

Don’t be afraid to get a little emotional. You’re putting yourself out there, so it should feel like it. It’s not the moment to come off confident that she’ll say yes.

Don’t do it unless you’re 1,000% sure it’s the right move for both of you.

Don’t do it too late in the day—she’ll want to call people afterward.

Don’t tell all her friends or sisters about it in advance. No one can keep that secret. The Rules #3

Get ready for a future that involves you caring about throw pillows. THE

Putting the ring inside of a dessert is precisely 7% as enticing as it sounds. Where to Propose

The Traditional Route

If you plan on proposing sometime in the next 12 months (and if you don’t, you wouldn’t be reading this), these are the best places in the country to do it. We’re pulling for you... The Essentials

One if by Land, Two if by Sea 17 Barrow St, New York, NY, 212-228-0822 Flowers: everywhere. Fireplaces: two of them. A house pianist: of course. This place might as well provide you with a single kneepad with your menu.

Nobu Malibu 22706 Pacific Coast Hwy, Malibu, CA, 310-317-9140 As you gaze out onto the Pacific Ocean, partaking The in man’s highest sushi-based achievement, you start thinking about ocean analogies and her eyes. You’ll do Tradi- fine. tional The Frank Sinatra Table at Pump Room 1301 N State Pkwy, Chicago, IL, 312-787-3700 What you’ve got going for you here: a hemisphere- Route sized pocket of privacy amidst a Gold Coast hotel party crowd. It’ll make it easier to picture everything in slow-mo.

THE EYE CANDY

Table 13 at Madera 2825 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park, CA, 650-561-1540 You’ve got panoramic views of the Santa Cruz mountains and an extremely short walk to a hotel room, should things take that turn. Here’s to hoping.

Table 99 at Vesper 1801 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, FL, 305-341-1500 When you think of romance, only one name comes to mind: LeBron. He popped the question over some fried Oreos at this alfresco paradise. Do as the King does.

Bar Stella 3932 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 323-666-0265 This covert little candlelit French gem has plenty of seating-for-two-type plush leather options for the inevitable after-the-fact lap sitting.

The Stone Room at the Hawthorne 500A Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA, 617-532-9150 It starts with the leather throne. Actually, it starts with you and just a nip of a house blend of whiskey. Then the throne. She’s in it. You’re charming. She says yes. The The secluded spots

Tradi- The Wine Room at Nosh 4216 Oak Lawn Ave, Dallas, TX, 214-528-9400 Well, it’s a room... filled with wine. It’s also the kind tional of truth-in-advertising and braised-Colorado-lamb- shank situation that creates a together-forever-type Route atmosphere.

Table 133 at Marquee Grill 33 Highland Park Village, Dallas, TX, 214-522-6035 A private little nook beneath the staircase of a cocktails-and-dinner spot above an old theater: romantic. Popping that question out on the patio: magic.

Table 21 at Portofino 3199 Paces Ferry Pl, Atlanta, GA, 404-231-1136 You’re flanked by racks of chianti, nestled into an idyllic little corner. The seafood risotto: superb. The wine: job well done. Just get that bended-knee form perfected.

Table 121 at Trade 540 Atlantic Ave, Boston, MA, 617-451-1234 You’ve got a PDA-safe little two-top with Greenway views right here. And once you’ve taken in some Taza chocolate budino—or perhaps before—you’ll also have a fiancée. The The Wild Cards

Tradi- Night Spa at the Four Seasons 2800 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC, tional 202-944-2022 When night falls, you two will private-spa into the wee hours. You’ll have an army of servants and an Route 80-minute rubdown. Although it’s hard to hide a ring in a towel.

Tables 40 and 41 at Acqua Al 2 212 7th St SE, Washington, DC, 202-525-4375 Pull off the proposal here, and you two will have an autographed plate on the wall here forever. It’s hard to turn down marriage-proposal immortality.

Alden Castle 20 Chapel St, Boston, MA, 617-731-4800 She doesn’t need you to buy her a castle. Only to rent one... So here’s the one Babe Ruth used to live in, open for any big question-poppings that may arise.

The Window Seat at Eduardo’s Enoteca 1212 N Dearborn St, Chicago, IL, 312-337-4490 A simple pizza-and-chianti dinner. A spare two-top looking out at Dearborn. It’s the romantic, understated dinner version of the phrase “It’s the little things...” The Rules #5

Nothing you say to her in the 60 seconds after presenting the ring will be heard. Where to Propose

The... Less Traditional Route

Of course, anyone can make a phone call and book a table or a room. And if you think she’ll find that a bit too... predictable, here are a few more creative options. (To be clear: creative should not entail Googling for area skywriters.) FOR HER PLACE...

Booze Carriage Available in New York City, boozecarriage.com This service delivers the celebratory libations of your choice almost anywhere in Manhattan within one hour, along with necessary accoutrements like ice and ping-pong balls—in case your celebration turns competitive.

Caviar The... Available in San Francisco, trycaviar.com Don’t let the name fool you. These guys will bring less you all the beluga and sturgeon you could ask for (otherwise known as “a lot”), but they’ll also bring otherwise un-deliverable chow. Steak, sushi, the like. Tradi- That said, she’d probably appreciate the caviar.

The Culinistas tional Available in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, theculinistas.com Route What this is: an army of former chefs to Hollywood stars. What they do: shop according to your wants and desires, then assemble the romantic tasting menu of your dreams. They’ll handle the cleaning, too, so you and your new bride-to-be can focus on celebrating.

FOR MARILYN MONROE’S PLACE...

Eventup Available in six cities nationwide, 888-963-7726, eventup.com These guys specialize in renting out former celebrity crash pads for a night of revelry. Think Jimi Hendrix’s old flat or Marilyn and DiMaggio’s love nest. Anything called a “love nest” seems like a good place to do this.

For The Park...

Bella Cucina’s Sandwich Scooter Available in Atlanta, 404-347-6476, bellacucina.com Let’s talk picnic baskets. For starters, you don’t have one. This is not a problem. Because you do have a picnic-ready blanket. And you have these guys, ready to hop on a scooter at a moment’s notice and bring you sandwiches. Proposing has a way of working up an appetite. The Rules #6

Anything involving the word “Jumbotron”: don’t. What To

WearOn The Big Day Proposing naked: well, that’s one way of doing things. But probably not the ideal way of doing things. Allow us to make a few situational suggestions on what to wear. After all, there’s a strong to very strong chance that this moment will be Instagrammed for all eternity to see... 1

The Formal Route

We imagine if 007 2 finally found the right Bond girl and was ready to settle down, this is how he’d do it: mid-gala, in full black tie, with a waiter somewhere ready to pop a champagne cork the moment the word “yes” was uttered.

The Traditional Route

The excitement: tangible. The ice: icy. The “We just won the Super Bowl”–style champagne goggles: probably not necessary, but fun to think about. As for what bottle to pop open after she says yes, we have some suggestions. Here’s to you...

Crying is perfectly natural. Laughing maniacally is not. WHAT TO SAY

“Will you marry me?”: simple but effective. “Will you make me the happiest man on earth?”: a time-tested, solid play. But you only get to do this (ideally) once. So you’ve got to make it count.

We consulted a few of our most articulate friends—Johnny Cash, Rhett Butler, Mr. Darcy—and a few of our less articulate ones (Rocky Balboa) on what they said during their big moment. May their words be your guide... From When Harry Met Sally

I love that you get cold when it’s 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you’re looking at me like I’m nuts. I love that after I The Classics spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

—Harry (Billy Crystal)
