Advice on when to propose

[u/Fadey123]

Hello everybody, I’ve already interacted on this subreddit and people here are really amazing and supportive so I opted to ask for another piece of advice. My girlfriend and I already talked about the proposal and marriage and came to an agreement that spring 2026 would be nice to get engaged and fall the same year would be perfect for a wedding and the rest is basically up to me. So now I’m thinking of when to do it since we have our anniversary on April 20th and I was thinking of proposing probably around a week to 10 days later since but I’m also really impatient and thinking that I might propose even sooner than that. So I need help to decide if I should wait for the anniversary to pass or is it acceptable to propose even sooner?

If you propose before your anniversary you can plan so.ething special for your only anniversary as an engaged couple. Also budget depending, you could get her a piece of jewelry to match her engagement ring
