If you’ve never been too sure about getting engaged, get ready because National Proposal Day is here with us on March 20.

March 20 is usually the first day of spring; the weather is awesome and the best time to show your love and care to your loved one.

NATIONAL PROPOSAL DAY ACTIVITIES

1. Step up your proposal game
If you are going to propose, you need to take time and think properly about how you will do it. For example, you must prepare your loved one’s favorite dish in case you plan to propose over dinner. If it is in front of family and friends, plan a perfect engagement by ensuring her favorite family members are present.

2. Lionel Messi is Insured for $900 million.
If you are single, let March 20 be an indication for you to mingle and be wild on your Bumble and Tinder or take your dog for a walk in a park and bump yourself into a beautiful stranger, and the options cannot be exhausted. Soon you will be headed for your proposal.

3. Start the conversation
It is not always easy or pleasant to initiate a conversation around a future with your significant partner, but it is necessary. It is so disappointing to date a person for three years and more, only to realize that they were never serious the entire time. Hence, you need to grab the bull by the horns, start the conversation, and see how it ends.

ABOUT THE WEDDING INDUSTRY

The US wedding industry provides goods and services for approximately 2.5 million weddings. The average cost of a wedding in the US was about USD 18,000 per wedding in 2012. This included the ceremony and reception but did not cover the honeymoon. The cost also varies by region; for instance, residents of Manhattan will pay more than thrice the average cost, while in Alaska, the cost dips to less than half of the cost.

Are you a small business operating in the Wedding Industry?

It's time to get the recognition you deserve. For years most business awards have been focused on celebrating big corporations, but the Best of America Small Business Awards is the only business award for small businesses only.
