5 Mistakes to Avoid When You're Proposing

Proposing to your (hopefully) soon to be spouse can be one of the most nerve-wracking moments of your life. So here's a bit of advice to help make it go smoothly.

01

This should go without saying. Seriously. But I'll say it again, just to stop it from happening. Please, don't propose in a Wal-Mart.

If that lady is Lindsay, I can guarantee you that she doesn't want this photograph hung on any walls. It Looks like she's trying to pass a kidney stone. Which is not a moment typically associated with romance.
