March marks the beginning of spring and all things bright and colorful. Sure, there are some of us still drudging around in the snow, but the month most notably heralds the return of warm weather across the country. Being that it’s the season to spend more hours outdoors AND the perfect time of the year for families to travel, March is the perfect time to celebrate the start of something new. For those looking to take the next step in their relationship, it’s the ideal month for a spring proposal.
So, why is March the best month to propose? In addition to being the start of one of the best seasons for tying the knot, the change in weather makes it fantastic for an outdoor proposal or a romantic getaway. Numerous holidays make the month special by capitalizing on old customs to start the first of your own traditions. If you’re still not convinced, we’ve put together some of the best reasons to get engaged in March.
The Spring Proposal
When you think about spring, you probably imagine weddings before you do engagements. But spring isn’t just for weddings. It’s a season steeped in symbolism that reflects renewal and a fresh new beginning. The shifting weather conditions mean more people head outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and a stroll through the gardens.
This overall feeling of delight generates an idyllic atmosphere for a romantic marriage proposal. It also gives you many more options to choose from when planning an outdoor proposal. If you were looking forward to an engagement on the beach, in the gardens, or other outdoor locations, March is the earliest time of the year to maximize your experiences.
The Spring Break Proposal
Spring is also one of the times of the year when families with children break away from the cold in search of sunnier locales. While most use the winter holidays to visit family, spring break is all about adventure and relaxation.
If you or your significant other has children, then this may be the best time to visit a faraway destination with the people you love most in the world. Especially if you want to include your children in the proposal, it’s one of the best weeks to do so. Our proposal packages cover numerous exotic vacation destinations that are perfect for a memorable engagement wrapped in a family trip, including Maui, Miami, and Cancun.
The Unexpected Proposal
March is also the best time of year to get in those surprise wedding proposals. With so many engagements occurring at the end of the year, during Valentine’s Day, and toward the end of summer, it leaves March wide open for an unexpected opportunity to get down on one knee.
Not only does it prevent your partner from expecting a grand gesture during a particularly busy season, but it also makes the proposal that much more unique. You won’t have to share your engagement date with thousands of other people or spend the anniversary of the moment he or she said “yes” with another holiday.
The Holiday Proposal
So maybe holiday proposals are right up your alley. After all, it’s easier to remember an anniversary when it occurred during a pivotal time of the year. One way to make your spring proposal stand out from the rest, while still holding it on a memorable date, is to pop the question on a not-so-popular holiday for engagements.
The most well-known celebration during the month of March is undoubtedly St. Patrick’s Day. Especially if you or your partner are Irish, it’s a wonderful way to incorporate ties to your heritage with some traditional proposal customs.
Another lesser-known holiday is considerably more appropriate for the task. National Proposal Day happens every year on the 20th of March, usually coinciding with the spring equinox. It’s a time to celebrate proposals both past and present. It also proves the power of spring to bring about hopeful new changes.
