The coronavirus lockdown has forced many couples into being in constant close-quarters, but thankfully, the doom-laden predictions that divorce rates will go through the roof have been unfounded, and some couples have gone even further by choosing to cement their relationships with a lockdown proposal.

For those planning to pop the question and figuring out how to make it special, then it’s the little things that count. You can get deliveries from florists, order your favourite meal from your local restaurant, and set the scene with a beautifully laid out table. All you have to do is choose the ring, whether it’s a huge diamond or a sweet-inspired design for your sweetheart.

The element of surprise is always a vital piece of the puzzle, so why not encourage your significant other to go out and get their daily exercise, while you prepare to surprise them on their return.

You can’t go far wrong with the classic down-on-one-knee approach, but you can also get creative with banners and balloons that spell out those four magic words, maybe hide a note in the flowers you picked or ordered, or a scavenger hunt around the home while you prepare the food. It’s a personal choice, so whatever you think works best for you.

And don’t forget to organise a surprise video call with friends and family afterwards (assuming he or she said yes!), so you can share your exciting news.

With the easing of some of the lockdown measures, you can go for a picnic in your favourite beauty spot, smuggle a bottle of champagne in your backpack, and you’re all set. And while social distancing measures are still in effect, you’re unlikely to be intruded upon by strangers!
