My partner and I had been together only a few months before we both knew that this was it. We were absolutely, completely sure this was our next stage of life - together in marriage.

This was still early in the relationship, so we both waited and "played it cool" for a few more months. After that though, we were open with each other about the fact that we were both in it for the duration. He and I both knew we were meant to get married and start a family together. Frankly, I knew he would be my husband after like 2 months of being together.

We had conversations about what we wanted in a wedding, and even what our marriage and family would be like in the future. Getting clarity on these things was very important, and I definitely recommend all couples having some kind of conversation like this together. However, even though these conversations felt good, I knew I wanted more. I wanted more than just a conversation that led right into wedding planning. I wanted a proposal - an actual, real life proposal

I knew I had to figure out and get clear about what I actually wanted. From all of my experience with Law of Attraction, I knew that it's much easier for the universe to give you what you want when you are clear about it. This same principle applies to boyfriends / partners.

I knew I'd need to get clear in order for him to give me what I wanted. This was all very new to me, I had spent 30+ years of my life thinking I’d never get married. So now I had to do some real opening up and day-dreaming about what kind of experience I wanted in a proposal.

I knew I wanted it to be a surprise. Obviously telling someone you want to be surprised isn’t super helpful, but I still wanted to communicate that. If I wanted a surprise, that meant I didn't want to give him too many "must haves." So I created a short list of must-haves. Enough that I would still get what I wanted and still be surprised.

This is almost word-for-word what I said to him:

"I know we both know we're going to get married, but I still want to be proposed to. It doesn't have to be over the top, but I do want someone there taking pictures. Even if it's just a friend with a smart-phone."

That was it.

My only “must-have” was that there be someone there taking photos.

Time went on, and I knew he was planning something. I trusted that he heard me when I asked for what I wanted and I never micro-managed the planning or asked questions about it.

This was something I learned through my work with Law of Attraction this far. I learned that my manifesting worked better with a “Set it and Forget it” kind of attitude. Ask for what you want clearly, then move on. When I micro-managed the universe’s manifesting, things didn’t feel good and they didn’t turn out the way I wanted them to. So I knew, going into this proposal, that I would ask clearly for what I wanted and move on. 

After a little time, he asked to take me on a surprise date.

Would you believe it? He proposed! In the best, most magical romantic way I could have imagined. He hired a professional photographer and we got the most glorious photos of him proposing to me on top of a mountain overlooking a beautiful lake. Followed by a beautiful dinner at a new restaurant.

So by getting clear and asking for what I wanted, I was able to receive what I wanted.

If you're trying to manifest the proposal you want, the first step for you is to make a list of what's important to you in your proposal. The next step is to communicate it clearly to your partner. After that, you get to continue living your life as usual. Trust that your partner’s got you, and the Universe has got you too.
