Here are a few of my best wedding proposals! I hope you gain some inspiration for your big moment!

The main thing to remember is that you should not copy an idea word for word as the best wedding proposals are always unique to the couple involved! This should be easy as you know her better than anybody else!

1. Go digging for sea shells at the beach. Suddenly you “stumble” upon an old bottle which contains a love poem inside! It should begin quite vague and then gradually appear to be about the two of you. She will love it! You can propose after you’ve read it to her!

2. For the mature relationship and you’re extra certain of a yes answer, why not have an instant wedding? The laws in Hawaii are quite lenient and will allow for this! Of course you’ll need her friends and family involved. After you’ve proposed, hold the wedding on the spot!

3. Get 3 red roses for her! One for the past, one for the present, and the final rose, with the ring attached to it is the future!

4. Organize a spa day and then get a limo ride to a fancy city photo shoot! During the shoot, get down on one knee and propose, you’ll have the photos forever! After take the limo to a nice restaurant followed by a 5 star hotel.

5. Arrange to meet her in the park at lunch. Arrive late riding a horse and wearing a suit of armour. Swing down from the horse and offer to be her prince! A friend lurking in some nearby bushes could be on standby to play Holsts “Jupiter” for when you arrive!

6. Pick her up from work in a limousine! Give her some flowers and have her favourite outfit ready for her! Take her to the best restaurant in town and have them serve you in the limo. Make sure the privacy window is up and have romantic music playing. Propose over champagne.

7. Take a trip down memory lane! Walk past the spot where you first met! Have your first ever meal at the spot you had your first ever picnic! Listen to your special music then watch your first ever movie together! Then propose! She will love the fact you remembered all the little things!

Life is really full of stress for most of us right now. Financial worries and uncertainties fill our daily lifes. The media makes it worse with continuously depressing reporting.

It is normal for people to avoid pain and stress is painful. If something hurts or scares us, we immediately try to get away from it. We usually look for the quick fix; a pill or a cocktail. Sometimes we try to escape by taking a vacation.

Vacations have long been a solution for stress. There is this misconception that a vacation will help us deal with the problems at home. While it’s true that while on vacation we relax a little more, does a typical gay vacation really make a difference?

The first couple days of the vacation we spend just arriving and settling into vacation mode. Then we get to spend a few days doing whatever we do on our vacations. Even during these days, our thoughts frequently return to the worries from which we are trying to escape. Then a couple days before we are to return home, we begin to move back into stressed out mode. We start thinking of all things waiting to be done when we get back home; we wonder if we will still have our job when we return; we wonder if these times of stress will ever get better.

When the vacation is over, we have to go back to all the stresses we left at home. We likely did not learn anything while on vacation to help us deal with the stresses of daily life. A typical gay vacation is only a quick and very temporary fix, like a drug. This is why Spirit Journeys is more important now in these stressful times.

Spirit Journeys gay weekend getaways event can change a person’s life. Learning new ways to think and learning practices can help to keep the stresses of life at bay. These are things that are not temporary or quick fixes. They can be used in people’s everyday life.

The deep connections made to other people at Spirit Journeys’ event simply don’t happen on ordinary gay travel. Honest and heartfelt conversations take place; people really listen to what we say and we return the favor. This kind of connection does take effort. We need be willing be honest and we need to participate. We can’t just go hide somewhere.

However, this effort is highly rewarding. People know in their hearts that gay retreats can change their very being; they know that this effort can change their overall way of viewing life and that this can help make everyday a vacation.

Have you ever tried to pick up girls online? There is a golden opportunity there for anybody and it is easier than you probably think!

You should use Facebook or Myspace if you’re not already registered! Facebook is better however Myspace has superior filtering capabilities.

So to have an advantage over most other guys at picking up girls online, follow the advice below.

1. Hot girls get messages from random guys everyday on Facebook. If your primary photo is of you stood next to a really hot female friend and she is enjoying your company, then this is proof that you’re not a lonely weirdo trying his luck!

2. Next, any new girl in your profile will progress straight to your photos! So make sure you have plenty where you’re in the presence of hot girls! This will create instant attraction, comfort and trust!

3. Never delete photos of your ex! Let girls see that you’ve been in relationships because they will see that women are attracted to you and that you are good with women! Half the battle is over!

4. Turn off your relationship status! Never let them see that you’re single because you’re making it too easy for them, not to mention obvious about why you’re messaging! Let them ask you! This way you know they are interested!

5. Check through your profile for any silly spelling and grammar errors. Show that you’re educated and don’t use annoying text language!

6. Check through for any silly gangster or zombie applications etc. You should not have the time for this!

7. Delete anything on your wall that betrays the fact that you’re not a fun and exciting person! There should be nothing on your wall from mates inviting you over to play Xbox!

8. To pick up girls online, this is an awesome tip! Get wall posts from your existing hot female friends! The best wall posts are ones where they are inviting you out for a drink etc!

Proposing to your girlfriend is something that hopefully you’re only going to do once! Hopefully!!! Before you propose to your girlfriend, read these tips to give yourself a little advantage!

1. Only ask the question if you know the answer, just like a good lawyer! If you think she might say no, then you really haven’t been seeing her long enough!

2. If you’re considering a public proposal ie in front of her family or at a ball game then you need to be extra sure she’ll say “yes!” You don’t want her to accept only to change her mind when you’re alone!

3. You must surprise her! Don’t let her see any of your plans, if you need to let others in on it to help plan things, make sure you can trust them to keep quiet!

4. Always personalize your engagement proposal! You know her better than anybody else so this should be easy. Never carbon copy an idea you read on the web or in a magazine!

5. Always take a knee! Yes I know it’s corny and old but she always imagined her marriage proposal would be like this so don’t let her down!

6. Guard the ring! Don’t risk losing it in some elaborate engagement scheme by burying it in sand or giving it to the Dog to deliver to her! It’s not worth it!

7. Keep heavy eye contact! You will show confidence and she will know that you mean it!

8. Ambiance is important to a successful proposal she’ll always remember! Most girls would rather have candles, moonlight, good food and music over a public proposal in front of people she doesn’t know!

9. Consider your timing! If you propose in the winter, then it’s just a few months before you could have a spring wedding! For a long engagement, go for a spring proposal! It could be a whole year before you would have to go through with it!

10. Relax! This is a huge moment for you both! As long as you planned everything then it’ll go fine! Enjoy it!

So you want to get the most out of a gay romantic destination and you’re stuck between booking through an agency and going independently. There are benefits to either side of the coin, but deciding your sweet spot might come down to what you want to get from the time away.

Planning a gay romance getaway for two can either be inspired by the desire to fulfill a wish like surprising your partner with that special trip they’ve always wanted, or it can be about spending time together. When it’s about spending time away from home and responsibilities, going through a structured getaway for gay travel can be a great idea. It simply gives you more freedom and it gives you options.

If you’re inspired by the desire to fulfill a wish, you have to put a lot more research into your destination. There are still countries that mandate the arrest of anyone expressing gay behavior. Unless you’re sure of your destination’s laws you would do yourself a good deed by checking everything thoroughly before booking an independent trip.

What is it that you are looking to gain from this little getaway? What does romance actually mean to the two of you? Are you up for fun, adventure, and daring new events? Or do you prefer room service and a hotel room that doesn’t force you to see the light of day unless you choose to? Maybe you’re looking for a little of both?

Structured packages give you a chance to find some of the most impressive destinations. You can not only find incredibly fun things to do but you will most likely experience the freedom that you just can’t find anywhere else. There is no need to steal glances, remain a respectable distance apart, or refer to each other as “friends.” You get to be completely and totally yourself. You can even explore the different sides of who you are and you can do it without fear. That type of freedom is something very few of us get to live with.

Most people are well aware that you can book a gay cruise as one of your destination choices. This is true and quite frankly it is something that all of us should experience. You’ll never have another vacation like a gay cruise. These are not the only destinations available, and many couples are surprised to realize just how many different vacations they can design that caters to them.

You can take a safari or you can end up on a romantic island. You can go off exploring other countries and you can find themed vacation for your and your partner. Sometimes making a gay romantic getaway turns into nothing more than the ability to be romantic. Yet you have to admit the scenery can add quite a bit to the romantic ambiance.

When you’re trying to plan out a very nice gay romantic vacation you can have some trouble finding the same type of freedom and privacy that you are looking for. While we all can pin up in a hotel room, there really shouldn’t be a reason why we can’t be romantic when we’re outside of the hotel room.
