Why wait to go on your vacation until after the big day? The new hot trend, engagement vacations! Grooms-to-be are opting to sweep their unknowing brides off their feet by getting down on one knee and proposing in a beautiful destination. You can go over the top like Will did when he popped the question to Kate in Kenya back in 2010 or more subtle like whisking her away to a big city for the weekend. The most important part is choosing a destination that is meaningful to you as a couple.

Here are a few of my tips to help make your Engagmentcation a trip of a lifetime:

1) Keep the Bling Safe!

Since you are traveling outside of your comfort zone you'll definitely want to have the appropriate insurance especially if you plan on doing an adventurous proposal, like while you're skydiving!

2) Plan, Plan, Plan

If you feel like you can't handle this special moment on your own, hire an event coordinator, or see if the hotel you are staying at offers packages. This will help to ensure your proposal runs smoothly!

3) Smile for the Camera

If you're sentimental like I am, hire a videographer and/or photographer to capture the moment. It'll be a great keepsake that you'll have forever!

4) Take a breath!

This is your best friend and the person you are planning to share your life with. Enjoy your vacation, be in the moment, not so focused on the events to come. Stay calm!

Remember you can't plan everything but you can certainly try! So go relax, have a drink (or a few) and plan your next vacation or maybe after reading this an Engagmentcation!

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is valuable and all. But imagine if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this website could undeniably be one of the best in its field. Very nice blog!

Hi folks, – discovered your current blog inadvertently whilst looking around the web this morning, and pleased that I did! I do like the page structure and colors, but I need to point out that I\'m having problems while it loads. I\'m using flock web browser, and the menu will not align well. Seems OK in iCab 4 however.

Thanks for the posting. I have constantly noticed that many people are eager to lose weight because they wish to show up slim plus attractive. However, they do not generally realize that there are more benefits for you to losing weight as well. Doctors declare that over weight people are afflicted by a variety of ailments that can be instantly attributed to their own excess weight. The great thing is that people who are overweight as well as suffering from various diseases can reduce the severity of their own illnesses simply by losing weight. It\'s possible to see a steady but noted improvement in health when even a slight amount of losing weight is reached.

One thing I would really like to reply to is that weightloss system fast may be possible by the suitable diet and exercise. People\'s size not merely affects appearance, but also the general quality of life. Self-esteem, depressive disorder, health risks, plus physical abilities are damaged in fat gain. It is possible to just make everything right but still gain. Should this happen, a condition may be the root cause. While a lot of food instead of enough body exercise are usually accountable, common medical ailments and widely used prescriptions can certainly greatly amplify size. Kudos for your post in this article.

I acquired more new stuff on this fat loss issue. One particular issue is a good nutrition is extremely vital while dieting. A massive reduction in bad foods, sugary ingredients, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and bright flour products may be necessary. Keeping wastes unwanted organisms, and wastes may prevent ambitions for fat-loss. While a number of drugs briefly solve the problem, the horrible side effects are not worth it, and they never provide more than a short-term solution. This can be a known fact that 95% of dietary fads fail. Many thanks for sharing your ideas on this blog.

Thanks for the tips shared using your blog. Something else I would like to state is that fat loss is not about going on a fad diet and trying to lose as much weight as you can in a couple of weeks. The most effective way to burn fat is by getting it bit by bit and following some basic tips which can allow you to make the most from a attempt to shed pounds. You may recognize and already be following many of these tips, although reinforcing knowledge never damages.

I believe  avoiding packaged foods would be the first step in order to lose weight. They will often taste beneficial, but prepared foods include very little vitamins and minerals, making you consume more just to have enough vigor to get with the day. If you\'re constantly consuming these foods, transitioning to cereals and other complex carbohydrates will help you to have more vigor while taking in less. Interesting blog post.

Thank you with regard to this writeup titled Engagementcation. It so happens that today I had been discussing with friends and neighbors regarding this subject and for the most part All of us all agree with what you happen to be discussing.  I happen to be speaking about this issue a whole lot of late together with my friends so with some luck , this will help us make my position.

I would want to make a request and that is that it would be great if you could enter into a bit more detail.  Or perhaps you will be able to point us to a couple of additional sites where we are able to read more about this.

One last thing, Have you heard anything regarding MUFAs (Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acids).  If so then can you please publish a short article about this?
