Our favorite time of the year is Christmas. The dazzle, charm, and nostalgia of the season mesmerize people of all ages. Every year, some families put up Christmas trees as early as Halloween. This signals that people are celebrating this holiday earlier. It also means that the excitement surrounding Christmas is growing. Does your significant other adore the Christmas season? If so, maybe a Christmas proposal is the best way to pop the question.
At Smokey Mountain Sounds, we have been honored to provide entertainment and officiant services for Christmas-themed weddings in the Smoky Mountains. Because the holidays are such a magical time of year, getting married at Christmas is a dream for some couples. Likewise, proposing at Christmas is a wonderful way to celebrate your love.
Decorating, throwing parties, exchanging gifts, and spending time with loved ones are ways we celebrate Christmas, but the reason is Love. The birth of Jesus, who is Love, is the real reason for the season. What better time to celebrate love than the season of Love?
3 Places for a Memorable Christmas Proposal
At the Family Gathering
The holiday season is a time for getting together with family and friends, and it’s the perfect time for a Christmas proposal. The key to this scenario is to know the dynamics of the group. For some families, it may be best to sneak away and propose in private. An example of this is a special spot at your girlfriend’s childhood home. Or, propose in front of the Christmas tree while everyone else is preoccupied with the meal.
It is much more romantic when you can enjoy the moment together privately. This way, you are showing your partner that you love them and that the engagement is special on its own. The point here is that you ultimately want to be respectful of family traditions and dynamics. If you pop the question privately, then make the fun announcement at the right time and enjoy the celebration that is sure to erupt.
On the other hand, we all love seeing engagement videos of an unsuspecting woman realizing her boyfriend is bowing down on one knee. The excitement surrounding a proposal will be welcomed and joyously celebrated by many families. If this sounds like the atmosphere of your upcoming Christmas celebration, then start planning to surprise the entire group with your holiday proposal.
At a Christmas Event
The Christmas season is a busy time of year, and your calendar will soon be packed with office parties, family gatherings, and other holiday events. Now is the time to carve out time for a Christmas proposal. To plan the perfect proposal, start with the place. Perhaps you and your significant other have a favorite local restaurant or place to go? Plan a memorable date night and surprise her with an unforgettable proposal.
Check your town’s special events calendar, and buy tickets to an upcoming Christmas symphony, or attend a tree-lighting event. These are magical times to propose!
An affordable and thoughtful option is to pack a holiday-themed picnic and drive through nearby neighborhoods to view Christmas lights. Include snackable charcuterie, hot cocoa, and Christmas cookies for a sweet meal on the go. At the right moment, propose as the Christmas magic radiates around you.
During a Trip to the Smoky Mountains
For the most spectacular Christmas magic, plan a trip to the Smoky Mountains! Start by finding a romantic place to stay in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge, or Gatlinburg. A secluded cabin in the Smoky Mountains is always a romantic choice!
Fill your trip with fun activities like winery tours, Christmas shows at local theaters, and delicious meals. Bundle up and hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and then make a spa reservation for a couples massage. Additionally, drive through Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville to see the holiday lights displayed as part of Sevier County’s Winterfest Celebration.
Many special events and promotions happen during Christmas in the Smoky Mountains. As you plan your trip, decide the right time and place to pop the question. After she says, “Yes,” start planning a Smoky Mountain wedding and a lifetime of happiness together!
Tips for the Best Christmas Proposal
To go the extra mile, here are three tips to sweeten the experience:
- Hire a photographer and/or videographer to capture the proposal. The footage will be a priceless souvenir of the special occasion.
- If proposing at a business, inform the manager of your plans. Many businesses love being a part of such a big moment, and the team will often help make the proposal extra special.
- Don’t make the engagement ring the only gift you give your girlfriend at Christmas. The proposal is one of the defining moments of your lives, and it should be a celebration of its own that just so happens to occur during the holidays.
We hope these ideas help you plan the perfect Christmas proposal. Congratulations on finding the love of your life! As you and your fiance plan a wedding, consider a Smoky Mountain wedding! A destination wedding in the Smoky Mountains is super romantic, and we would be honored to be a part of your special day.
