(29) Why more is (sometimes) just more…
Picture this: Two weeks after you just broke the bank to finance a $15K diamond ring and popped that ever important question, your new fiancé storms in upset and asks you why you can’t be as “creative” as her co-worker’s fiancé. She tells you some story about how thoughtful, intimate, and well-planned the proposal was and when you hear it, you know that he didn’t spend 1/10th of what you spent on just the ring.
This can actually happen to you, if you let it. Don’t be misled into believing that the more that you spend, the better the event will be. The perceived success of your proposal will have a lot less to do with the amount of money spent on a ring or the event as it will with the three characteristics of the before mentioned story: Thoughtfulness, Intimacy, and Planning (T.I.P.).
You can spend the world, but if it is perceived a just spending money and not putting thought behind your actions, your efforts will be fruitless. She knows the difference between a thoughtful expression of love and an artificial attempt to buy your way into her heart. Trust me, it is in your best benefit to put your best foot forward in developing a proposal plan that will come more from your heart than your pocket. If the results of your plan include expenses, that is fine, but their costs should be incidental not a prerequisite for your thoughts of how successful it will be to your mate.
Your financial expenses will in no way have a larger bearing than the ability that you have to touch your mate in a way that no one else is able. When you are able to make this intimate connection, the expense factor melts away, even from the most materialistic person. We all have a need to make an intimate connection and money is not the way to the heart.
So, whether your plan takes a personal loan or a personal gesture, the results are truly going to be measured not by the expense, but by reaction of your mate. To get the best reaction, my suggestion is to put in more time than expense. Let the cost be a consequential effect of you putting your plan into action for creating an unforgettable marriage proposal to start your lives together.
