Planning a proposal in Bali is already a dream come true, but the perfect speech to ask her the most important question is, what seals the memory forever. At Forever Promises, we specialize in creating unforgettable marriage proposals in Bali, and from our experience as being part of the most emotional moments daily, here is a step-by-step guide on how you can craft the ideal words that speak directly to your partner’s heart. 

1. Speak From the Heart

Your proposal speech should reflect your genuine feelings. Begin by expressing why you love your partner and why she is the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. Talk about the qualities that made you fall in love, the journey you’ve already managed together, even when it wasn’t always easy, and how much they mean to you. Honesty and authenticity are key — Don’t overthink!

Example:
"From the moment we met, I knew you were so special to me. Every day with you has been an adventure, and I can’t imagine my life without your laughter, your love, and your kindness. Even if there were hard times, I am more than grateful every day to have you by my side.“

2. Recall Special as well as Simple Moments

Take a trip down memory lane by mentioning significant moments in your relationship since you have met. Try to remember your first date, how you felt, and what was your first thought when you saw her? Think about an unforgettable trip you experienced together or a simple moment that brought you closer. Recalling these moments makes your proposal speech personal and emotional. Let her know about these special moments. But sometimes, it’s the simple things: the kiss she gives you every morning, her laughter about her own jokes, or the smell when she cooks your favorite meal after a long day at work.

Example:
"Remember that sunset in Bali when we talked about our future? It was then that I realized I wanted you by my side for all the sunsets to come."

3. Speak About the Future

This is the perfect opportunity to paint a picture of your life together. Mention your hopes and dreams as a couple. As a result, this creates a vision of your shared future and makes your partner feel even more connected to the moment.

Example:
"I can’t wait to build a life with you, to travel the world, laugh together, and support each other through everything life brings our way."

4. Keep It Simple and Short

Keep the speech concise, of course, it is important to share your feelings, but it should not be too long. You want the moment to feel heartfelt but not rehearsed. Aim for sincerity over a long, drawn-out monologue.

5. Practice (But Don’t Overdo It)

If you want your speech to be perfect, you can practice a few times before the big moment. From our experience, if you want a more natural flow, we would recommend just thinking about the points we mentioned before. Don’t memorize it word-for-word. The key is to be present in the moment, allowing your emotions to guide you the way.

6. End with the Big Question

Now if the moment, everyone is waiting for, after pouring your heart out, it’s time to pop the question! Keep this part simple, direct, and filled with your love.

Example:
"So, here we are… Will you marry me?"
