Why proposals?
I love love. I didn’t even get into it because of events. I don’t even consider myself an event planner—it’s the love that does it for me.
So what exactly does a proposal planner do?
It’s kind of the same thing as having a wedding planner or a personal assistant. It doesn’t mean that the men can’t do it themselves, it’s that they really want to do a great job.
