Proposals, ring in pocket
A proposal idea that tells your story first, then asks
Here's a proposal idea for couples who basically live in WhatsApp: make a Wrapped of your whole chat, from the very first message to your I love you count, and end it on the question. They scratch the last card and it says 'Will you marry me?'

Proposals go wrong when the build up is too long or too public. A Wrapped keeps it short and private. They tap through your numbers and photos for a minute or two, laughing at the stats, and the last slide is the question.
Show it to them on your phone, or send the link while you're in the same room, so you're there when they get to the end. Have the ring ready before they reach the scratch card.

How to make one
It takes about five minutes. Your draft saves as you go, so you can stop and come back later.
- 1
Export your chat
In WhatsApp, open your chat, tap their name and choose Export Chat. Turn on the first message slide so the story starts at the beginning.
- 2
Build up to the question
Add your top 5 memories, polaroids and your song. Put the question under the final scratch card or in the letter.
- 3
Be in the room
Add a passcode, then hand them your phone or send the link while you're beside them. Ring ready.
inside the story
What goes in
Your very first message
Optional, and usually the funniest slide in the story.
The whole relationship, counted
Every message, every I love you, your longest streak.
A scratch card ending
They scratch away the foil and the question is underneath, in your words.
A space to answer
The story ends with a reply box. Their written answer lands on your responses page.
Ways to build the proposal
- 01
Start with your first message and the date it was sent.
- 02
Use the together for counter from the day you met.
- 03
Make a top 5 of the moments you knew, ending with the one that decided it.
- 04
Quiz them on your story, with the last question being 'What happens next?'
- 05
Make the scratch card the very last slide, with the question underneath.
- 06
Or write it in the sealed letter, so the question is in your words.
- 07
Play the song you'd want at the wedding.
- 08
Add a passcode that's your first date, so nobody else stumbles on it.
- 09
Ask a friend to film their face while they read. You'll want it later.
Lines to put before the question
Copy one into the letter slide, or send it with the link.
It started with 'hey'. I'd like it to keep going for the rest of our lives.
Every message in this chat is one more reason I'm sure.
I've asked you a lot of questions over the years. This one matters most.
You're the person I want to text 'on my way home' to forever.
I don't want a day of my life that you're not in.
Look up from the phone. I'm the one holding the ring.
Will you marry me?
Your chat stays on your phone.
Your browser counts the export on the spot. We only receive the totals, and the page is hidden from search engines, with an optional 4 digit passcode.

Questions
Is this a good proposal idea if we met online or over text?
It's built for that. Your chat is where the relationship happened, so the story shows them the first message, how much you've talked since and how many times you've said I love you, then asks.
How do they answer?
In person, ideally. The story also ends with a reply box, so they can write their answer, and you see it on your private responses page.
Can I stop them finding it early?
Yes. The page is hidden from search engines, the link has a random part and a 4 digit passcode keeps out anyone who sees the link on your screen.
Should I send it or show it?
Be with them for the last slide either way. Hand them your phone, or send the link when you're sitting together and watch them tap through.
Does it cost anything?
No, it's free while we're in beta. Save your money for the ring.
