Press Release Summary = Tips from Wedding Expert & Photographer Jennifer Young



Press Release Body = AMSTERDAM, NY - The holiday season has become the favorite time
of year to "pop the question," and more women than ever are taking on the role as
the one who proposes. But according to Jennifer Young, owner of Forever Young
Photography in Amsterdam, NY, the basics of proposing don't really change.

"What's the best part about proposing to your man? You decide when it happens," says
Young. "But that doesn't mean that there aren't some things you need to think about
before getting down on one knee."

She provides the following tips to those getting ready to pop the question:

1. Is it time to make things official? "Make sure you're honest about your motives
for getting married," says Young. "Be sure you're both ready to commit for the long
haul and not proposing out of desperation."

2. It's not just about you. "Cater your proposal to his personality," she says. "Be
sensitive about his ego. He may not be expecting it."

3. Think memorable. Plan a proposal with your shared history in mind. "You need to
choose something that's meaningful to both of you and be very attentive to the
details. Take the time you need to plan well to show your loved one you take the
idea very seriously," explains Young. "And if you need help you may have to enlist
the aid of a friend, relative, or even a professional, such as a caterer or
photographer who can help you set the right mood."

4. Propose with pizzazz. "Proposals need to be well thought out, sentimental, and
heartfelt," she says. "Remember you are proposing a way of life: your future life
together."

5. Focus on the moment. "Think about what's important: that you want to spend the
rest of your life with this one person," says Young. "If the best plans fall apart,
or you're too nervous to say what's in your heart, it's the sentiment - not the
content - that will win his heart."
