Going on a romantic motorcycle adventure with your partner can be the perfect opportunity to propose. Of course, planning it perfectly will show that you have put serious consideration and care into the idea of getting married, rather than doing it on a whim.
So if you want to plan the perfect surprise proposal during your your motorcycle travels, check out our handy guide.
Choosing the ideal romantic destination
When it comes to picking the most romantic destination, you’ll need to consider several factors.
First of all, is there a particular place that holds significant emotional or sentimental value to you as a couple? This could be where you first met, where you first went on holiday together, or another meaningful location that represents you as a couple.
Alternatively, you could choose a place that you both want to visit or a tour you both want to complete. For instance, Scotland’s North Coast 500 can be an epic, memorable adventure dotted with stunning landscapes and serene spots, which are only enhanced by your proposal.
Planning scenic motorcycle routes
When you’ve got a specific location in mind, you’ll need to plan the journey to and from your chosen destination. Will you pick a route that weaves through mountain passes and looks over a gorgeous landscape, or will you opt to travel along the coast, with the fresh sea air filling your lungs?
Ensuring the safety of the engagement ring
Every perfect proposal needs a diamond ring! On a biking journey, however, it can be difficult to keep your ring safe without accidentally giving the game away. Unfortunately, motorbikes aren’t known for their security, so you’ll want to carefully consider the ring’s safe storage.
If your motorbike has lockable hard luggage instead of a soft compartment, you may want to use that. Alternatively, you might find it safer at the bottom of a rucksack and kept on your person.
Capturing the moment
Photos and videos of your magic moment can help these memories last a lifetime. To capture the best memories of your proposal, you can either discreetly set up a camera to record the moment or work with a professional photographer.
Out of the two, we recommend working with a professional photographer letting you focus solely on the moment. Additionally, if you’ve found a secluded spot and want to keep it a private moment, your photographer should be able to accommodate this. Another benefit is that the quality of the photos and videos will be much higher than simply setting up an unmanned phone or camera ahead of time.
Planning post-proposal celebrations
Having your celebrations planned for can enhance the experience even further. You might want to research if any romantic restaurants are in the area, giving you somewhere to relax with your fiance and focus solely on the moment. Alternatively, you could bring a picnic with a little champagne to celebrate the occasion without the publicity.
