Marriage Proposal in Calligraphy ~
Are you ready to make that marriage proposal? This is one of my favorite jobs in calligraphy! And I have never gotten a "no" response from any of the proposals I've written out. Maybe that's because it's such a romantic gesture and women just LOVE romantic men. I'm sure it's sure for gay marriages as well.
Calligraphy really makes your proposal and the event so special, and a great gift. So what could be more romantic than having your happy memories with your girlfriend (or boyfriend) commemorated in calligraphy, and then ask for her (or him) to marry you?
Successful Marriage Proposal
I've been asked to write out marriage proposals at least ten times. It's one of my favorite requests for calligraphy. I can report to you that every proposal has met with a resounding "YES!!". (for the sake pdf privacy, I have removed last names on the examples).
Perfecting The Marriage Proposal with Photography
I just loved this photo of the couple above, but the original background was too busy. So I used photoshop magic and removed the couple from the background and superimposed them on this lovely photo of a beach.
I had a choice of personal photographs of the couple to choose from. Lots of times people have photographs or a photo bomb with a background that is awful. The worst one I had was a woman standing next to her overflowing garbage can in her kitchen. I had to laugh when I saw that! Luckily, photoshop magic enabled me to remove the garbage can!
Taking the Perfect Photo for Calligraphy
Sometimes there's no space to write out the calligraphy whether it's a marriage proposal or a poem. Then I have to extend the background to make room for the poem. All that takes a lot of time. So make sure when you want to use a photograph you are aware of the background. Read more about how to take a great picture.
Your marriage proposal becomes a treasured keepsake. When framed, a perfect place to put it is over your bed. It will remind you every night of those happy memories!
Married Already?
Even if you're married already, I can always write out your original marriage proposal. I can add your wedding photo, names and date of the wedding. Or, think about having your marriage vows written in calligraphy. It's never too late! Calligraphy always makes a romantic gift for any occasion- especially for a marriage proposal!
