"You have lots of control over how you look on your wedding day, but if your proposal is a surprise (as so many are), you may not be fashionably or cosmetically prepared. I sure wasn&amp;amp;#8217;t!I had thought we&amp;amp;#8217;d get engaged the winter before, so I pictured myself on my proposal day wearing my dark-gray pea coat, my lavender, plum, and gray striped scarf, gray mittens, and a gray knit hat. I thought there&amp;amp;#8217;d be snowflakes in my eyelashes and I&amp;amp;#8217;d have a rosy glow on my cheeks from the nippy New York weather. No such luck. It was the last day of our vacation in Paris. I was wearing what I like to call &amp;amp;#8220;plane clothes,&amp;amp;#8221; which is basically sweatpants and a hoodie. I was also a little chilly on this early May day, so I threw on a too-tight jacket from high school over my sweatshirt. I hadn&amp;amp;#8217;t showered that morning because our checkout was so early, I would&amp;#x27;ve had to wake at the crack of dawn to stand in the too-tiny space the hotel called a shower. I hadn&amp;amp;#8217;t washed my hair in a couple days, so I threw my greasy tresses into a ponytail. And forget about makeup. We had also just spent a couple of bleary-eyed hours dragging our luggage over cobblestone streets to pick up souvenirs for our families before we headed to the airport (where souvenirs would cost more Euros than we had). And though I looked like utter crap, I insisted that we take a picture in the pretty park where Paul popped the question so we&amp;amp;#8217;d forever have a visual of this moment. Paul must really love me to have proposed to me looking like that. Have you thought about how you want to look during your proposal? Would you mind if you didn&amp;amp;#8217;t look your best?
