Popping the Question in Paradise – How to Seal an Engagement in Cabo San Lucas

It’s a moment you’ve dreamed of and anticipated all your life: either as the proposer, kneeling and unveiling the sparkling diamond engagement ring to your true love; or as the proposee, surprised and swept off your feet by the promise of marriage. If you’re the latter, there is no need to prepare for this life-changing moment. It’s meant to come as a surprise. If you’re the former, however, planning is crucial, even if you’re confident you’re going to get the answer you want when you pop the big question. This is a moment that will be remembered and relived throughout your marriage. You want to get it right. You want it to look and feel like a special moment, because it is…every bit as special as the marriage vows to follow. And if you’re not confident of the answer you’ll get when you take that knee, where and how you propose can make all the difference in the world. With that in mind, here are three tips to seal your destination engagement in Cabo San Lucas.

Choose a Setting That’s Equal to the Moment

A golden sand beach bounded by towering rocks and two major bodies of water is a place so special it inspires awe and wonder. The momentous nature of an occasion like a wedding proposal is not elevated–it’s already as big as big can be–but rather confirmed in its overwhelming importance by the spectacular beauty of the backdrop.

This idea of matching big settings to big events is important to remember when planning an engagement in Cabo San Lucas. It is, in fact, the reason many choose the Land’s End city in the first place. Blessed with a temperate year-round climate, miles of gorgeous coastline, and a stunning diversity of picturesque panoramas–rugged mountains, stark desert, windswept beaches with swaying palm trees–Cabo is a sun-splashed tropical paradise, a picture postcard come vividly to life.

Imagine a place filled with magnificent settings that seem to have been custom-crafted by a higher power specifically to host momentous, once-in-a-lifetime events. What could be more appropriate, for example, than popping the question on Lover’s Beach, steps from the 80-million-year-old granite arch that marks the terminus of the 800-mile-long Baja California peninsula? What about taking a knee by the infinity pool of a cliffside luxury villa perched high above crashing Pacific Ocean waves, or on the deck of a gleaming private yacht as whales breach or dolphins frolic in the distance?

The options are nearly limitless, so much so that you might want to speak to a local expert about which breathtaking location works best for your specific vision. Speaking of which…

Get Professional Help from a Proposal Planner

If you really want to seal the deal on an engagement in Cabo, the best decision you can possibly make is enlisting professional help.

For starters, as important as setting is, there are many more things you can do to create a proposal scenario that will wow that special someone, from hiring musicians or having caterers pack your basket with Champagne and truffles for a Lover’s Beach picnic to romantic horseback rides or soaring excursions over Land’s End in a motorized hang glider.

Capture the Moment for Posterity

You’ve found the perfect spot to pop the question, and you’ve engaged Creative Destination Events to make sure your “engagement in Cabo” goes exactly according to plan. What else is left, other than keeping the entire plan a surprise for your soon-to-be-bride?

A moment as special as a destination Cabo engagement needs to be documented, certainly by a photographer and preferably by a videographer as well. Obviously, if you’re being followed by a film crew it’s going to clue your significant other that something out of the ordinary is taking place…only celebrities are regularly stalked by photographers…so CDE will organize the event logistics, keeping photographers and other vendors well offstage until the big moment arrives, but ensuring your surprise proposal is being faithfully and exhaustively captured for posterity.

Essential though it is, however, planning can only take you so far. What’s ultimately most important is that you cared enough about your significant other, and this once-in-a-lifetime moment, to do everything within your power to try to make it perfect. Intentions matter, and so if you stutter a bit as you ask that age-old question–“Will you marry me?”–she (or he) will undoubtedly understand that it’s nervousness rather than a lack of preparation.

Heartfelt conviction and a real commitment to your future together always trump slick perfection.

That’s really the key to sealing the deal on an engagement in Cabo San Lucas. That, of course, and Creative Destination Events.
