Planning To Propose Your Partner on Valentine’s Day 2025? 5 Creative Ways To Pop the Question to Your Loved One This Love Week

Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to create a truly memorable moment with the love of your life. If you’re ready to pop the question, here are five thoughtful and romantic ways to plan a proposal that will sweep them off their feet. Propose Day 2025: From Heart-Shaped Pizza to Red Velvet Cupcakes, 5 Recipes That Can Add Flavour to Your Valentine Week Celebrations (Watch Videos).

1. Romantic getaway proposal

Why not combine your Valentine’s Day celebrations with a getaway to a special location? Whether it’s a cozy cabin in the mountains, a beachside resort, or a charming bed and breakfast, the change of scenery adds to the romance. Plan a surprise proposal during a scenic sunset, a candle-lit dinner, or even a quiet moment in front of a roaring fire. The setting will make the moment unforgettable.

2. Personalized scavenger hunt

Take your partner on a journey to reflect on your relationship. Start with a personalized scavenger hunt that leads them to places significant to your love story, where you first met, had your first date, or shared meaningful moments. Each clue can include sweet notes, photos, and memories. The final stop? You, ready to ask the big question! This type of proposal is heartfelt and creative, making it extra special.

3. Intimate home proposal

If you’re looking for a more private and intimate moment, consider proposing in the comfort of your home. Create a romantic atmosphere with candles, flowers, and soft music. You could even cook a special dinner or order from your partner’s favorite restaurant. This cozy, personal approach can be just as magical as an extravagant event. Plus, it allows you to focus entirely on each other without distractions.

4. Surprise flash mob

For those who want to go all out and make a bold statement, why not stage a flash mob proposal? Get your closest friends and family involved in a surprise performance in a public space, whether it’s a park, a mall, or a special location in the city. As the music plays and the dance unfolds, you can step forward to ask for their hand in marriage. It’s fun, exciting, and guaranteed to leave them speechless.

5. Under the stars

If your partner is a fan of stargazing, why not plan a proposal under the night sky? Set up a cozy blanket, perhaps with a bottle of wine or champagne, and bring some snacks. Whether you’re in a secluded countryside area or at a rooftop with a clear view, the stars will create a magical backdrop for this romantic moment. As you gaze at the constellations, ask for their hand, and share a kiss under the stars.

Taylor Swift heard Philadelphia Eagles fans loud and clear on Sunday during Super Bowl LIX.

A chorus of boos was directed toward the pop star at the Caesars Superdome as the Eagles took on, and eventually defeated, the Kansas City Chiefs. Swift appeared to be stunned by the boos birds, according to multiple social media videos.

Swift did find a defender during the game – in Serena Williams. The tennis legend directed a post toward Swift.

“I love you @taylorswift13 dont listen to those booo!!” she wrote.

Unfortunately for Swift, she sat and watched the Chiefs get their doors blown off in a 40-22 rout from the Eagles. Her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, had four catches for 39 yards. It was far from enough to stymie the intense Eagles defense that plagued Kansas City all night long.

Williams, at least, was able to make a guest appearance in Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show.

Swift faced more ridicule after the loss from President Donald Trump, who attended the game, becoming the first sitting president to do so.

“The only one that had a tougher night than the Kansas City Chiefs was Taylor Swift. She got BOOED out of the Stadium. MAGA is very unforgiving!” Trump wrote.

WWE is ‘driving pop culture,’ pro wrestling legend Paul Heyman says

WWE had a stranglehold on the pro wrestling world for more than 12 months, as Paul “Triple” Levesque, the company’s chief content officer, introduced a new era into the company.

Cody Rhodes finished his story and opened up a new path as Undisputed WWE champion; Roman Reigns lost his title and had to deal with an insurgency in his Bloodline; Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan began a monthslong feud that saw the Women’s World Championship change hands a few times; Tiffany Stratton injected a youth movement into the women’s division with her Money in the Bank win and subsequent cash-in all the while the company welcomed a whole host of new faces to the main and development rosters.

Those were just the achievements in the ring. WWE debuted on Netflix and partnered with multiple brands, including Hulk Hogan’s Real American Beer, NBA, NHL and Cosm, as well as a multi-year partnership with TNA Wrestling to showcase talent on each other’s brands.

It is only scratching the surface as WWE begins WrestleMania season – akin to the Super Bowl – over the next few days. It will begin with the Royal Rumble on Saturday to determine the next superstars who will get shots at the men’s and women’s championships respectively.

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman acknowledged the hot streak the company has been on as of late, suggesting to Variety it has transcended pop culture.

“We’re no longer a boutique industry,” he told the outlet. “We’re not on the fringe. We’re driving pop culture now, and with the fact that Roman Reigns is the undisputed top box office attraction, the number one star in the entire industry, and his Wiseman, are driving these cultural phenomenon, I would suggest the youth of this world is in very good hands right now.”

To underscore that point, WWE has seen celebrities from all corners flock to WWE events.

Matthew McConaughey, Kai Cenat, Gabriel Iglesias, Danielle Fishel, Vanessa Hudgens, Quavo and others have been seen in the stands. Not to mention, Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson appeared at WrestleMania 40, and NBA stars Jalen Brunson and Tyrese Haliburton mocked their on-court rivalry in the ring after the playoffs last year.

Hudgens explained to Fox News Digital her fandom goes above and beyond. She never misses a “Monday Night Raw” and plans to watch on Netflix every week.

Saturday kicks off the road to WrestleMania with the Royal Rumble, which is followed by the Elimination Chamber in March. Fans should have a decent idea about what the WrestleMania 41 main events will look like by spring.
