Wondering how to propose to the love of your life? Wonder no more because Dayan Masinde unleashes a couple of fresh ways you can do just that and make your sweetie the happiest lass in the world while you are at it.
1. “The darkness option”
When you’re both together at night, plan the surprise. In a room she is bound to go in, go there before her and get down on one knee so that when she turns on the lights she will find you with a ring proposing to her.
2. “The hot air balloon option”
On a safari, there up in the air. Look into her eyes away from the rest of the world and ask her, “With you I want to go to greater heights, will you marry me?”
3. “The newspaper option”
Buy a full page, half page or quarter page advert space on the leading newspaper; there post an advert which has a photo of you two with your name asking her name “Will you marry me?” But only go this public way if you are sure she will say yes and she doesn’t mind public drama.
4. “The music option”
At a concert or karaoke, get the band to sing a love song ( her favorite love song) or if you think you can sing, sing her a love song then pop the question in the presence of the cheering audience.

7. “The employee in trouble option”
Collaborate with her boss if she is employed.
