The largest majority of engagements occur between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day. 
Surrounded by family and friends, couples choose to share this moment with their nearest and dearest. For others, the close of the calendar year, marks the perfect time to start your life together, so-to-speak. And of course, there’s Valentine’s Day, a day for sweethearts.
For you traditionalists, you’ve called the parents. You have the ring. What else can you do to make your proposal memorable and put your own mark on this Valentine’s Day? Here are a couple ideas.
For the sentimental couple, how about a customized jewelry box in blue. And then you’ve got your “something blue” taken care of as well.
For the culinary couple, how about homemade fortune cookies with a “Will you marry me?” fortune? Celebrity chef Joanne Chang shares her recipe for Green Tea Fortune Cookies.
For you school yard sweethearts, you remember exchanging Valentine’s Day cards and candy. Customize this year’s candy with your bride-to-be’s new initials.
