KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Once a couple
is engaged, the first questions family and friends ask include,
"Let me see your ring," and "How did he propose?" With Valentine's Day on the horizon, the pressure is
on for future grooms to create the most unique idea to "pop the
question." No pressure, right? But let's face it…proposing IS high
pressure and grooms have to get it right from selecting the perfect
ring to the actual proposal event.
For more than 100 years, Helzberg Diamonds has helped millions
of grooms with their special proposals. In the case of one
unsuspecting bachelor, Helzberg offered to create a proposal of a
lifetime for the love of his life…with one catch. Helzberg
would provide the ring for FREE, if he could propose within 48
hours. The #WeProposeYouPropose video series
(Helzberg.com/WePropose) captures the story of the bachelor Kyle
from the moment he is asked if he's willing to propose, to deciding
how he'll pop the question, to getting down on one knee and all the
suspense in-between. How did he do it? Consumers can go behind the
scenes and follow Kyle's proposal all the way (spoiler alert) to
the moment of "YES!!" with the hashtag #WeProposeYouPropose.
"Our lucky bachelor thought he was in a documentary about ring
shopping. Little did he realize his trip to Helzberg would put his
special proposal into high gear. Consumers can watch how our
couple's love story unfolds, plus future grooms can get tips about
how to create their own special proposal moment," said Beryl Raff, Chairman and CEO of Helzberg
Diamonds.
No one knows more about engagement rings and proposals than
Helzberg Diamonds. "Celebrating all of life's special moments and
making people feel loved has been a part of our company since we
began more than 100 years ago. We love to share in the celebrations
of life's happiest moments," Raff continued.

Tips for a One-of-a-Kind Proposal Experience (and a Sneaky
Way to Ensure Her Ring Fits!)
"Once a future bride puts on the ring, she'll want to show it
off. Grooms have to make sure the ring doesn't fall off. If
family or friends don't know her ring size, grooms can secretly
'borrow' a ring from her and quickly size it by placing it on the
Helzberg's Proposal Pro mobile app," Raff continued. Helzberg.com
and our mobile app educates future grooms on ring styles, the four
"C's" of diamond selection (color, cut, clarity and carat weight)
and metal types. Plus, the company provides a proposal checklist to
ensure grooms have all their bases covered, including asking the
parents.
Helzberg's lucky groom was provided a proposal/wedding event
planner that suggested ideas for his perfect proposal. Nellie Sparkman, owner and creative director of
Events by Nellie, shares six valuable proposal tips:
- Ask for her parent(s) blessing. This is one
of the most important decisions in their daughter's life, so it's
equally important to have the parent(s) blessing.
- Do your homework. A proposal planner is a great idea for
those who need help to flawlessly coordinate all the details. If
you don't have a planner, check out your future bride's Pinterest
page. Chances are likely she will have pinned her favorite ring
styles, flowers and other wedding ideas.
- Make the proposal as unique as your love story itself.
Whether it is a romantic dinner at your first date
location, at the end of an adventurous bike ride or in the middle
of your alma mater's football game, the proposal should hold
special meaning for both people. Consider incorporating her
favorite flowers, a special song, and include people in your lives
that support you both.
- Keep it simple. You should speak from the heart and tell
her why she is loved and when you knew she was THE ONE. When
it feels natural, get down on one knee and 'pop the question.'
- Think of her. How will she want to remember this
moment? Find a way to make sure she is looking and
feeling her best. She will want to look "proposal
ready!"
- Capture the moment. Getting engaged is one of the
most exciting times in a couple's life. Document the moment by
hiring a professional photographer or videographer to ensure you
are getting the best images that will last a lifetime.
