According to statistics, summer is also the period when most people decide to get engaged. If you too are thinking about asking your better half this fateful question, it is important to prepare well for this event. Read on to find out what are the biggest mistakes people make when getting engaged and how you can avoid them.
The biggest mistakes people make when getting engaged:
Engagement as a complete surprise
For some girls, an engagement as a complete surprise is a very good choice. If you decide to take this step, you must be sure that your chosen one wants to get married. For many, however, a surprise with an engagement ring can be a real shock. Before venturing into dangerous waters where the consequences of rejection are dire and painful, feel the ground.
Buying the wrong ring
Before getting engaged, make sure that your chosen one will like the ring. After all, it is quite a big investment, and besides, the (un)lucky person will have to wear it for the rest of her life.

A premature engagement
Although you may already know after the first date that you would like to marry her, it is better to wait a few months before getting engaged. It is crucial that you do not enter this journey with butterflies in your stomach, but with a clear head. Butterflies are unfortunately temporary, but marriage is supposed to last forever.
To forget the ring
What could be more awkward than getting down on one knee and popping the world's most romantic question, only to realize to your horror that you forgot your ring? Before proposing, make sure you have the ring.

Hiding an engagement ring in food
Imagine that you are in a prestigious restaurant. A piece of cake arrives, in which an engagement ring is hidden. Your girlfriend unknowingly swallows a piece of ring cake and almost chokes. Another version of the story is that he finds the ring, but unfortunately it's all sticky and chocolatey.
Engagement in front of a crowd of strangers
Getting engaged at a concert or sports match sounds romantic (and it often looks romantic in the videos). But before you decide on such a plan, consider whether you really want to share one of your most intimate moments with a crowd of strangers who will most likely film the event and post it online without your permission.

Excessive advertising of the engagement on social networks
The last tip is probably the most important of all. When your sweetheart breathes the fatal "yes", take a few moments just for yourself. Posting your wedding ring on Facebook and Instagram can wait.
