Asking someone to marry you

[[A]]

Egypt, the Pyramids.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Just been there and her freind had organised a gala evening in the middle of the desert in front of the pyramids just for the invitees. I am not going to copy cat.

Well some girls love hockey... that could have been the girls dream proposal

If my team were to win, yeah I could go for a Hockey Game proposal.

I really think a public proposal puts an inordinate amount of pressure on the girl. For me the moment itself should be private.

I agree

Well, you're pretty much guaranteed a yes in public. Unless she just snaps and starts murdering people.

 

[Timstuff]

Good, people who do that are jackasses.

It's jerkish to do it intentionally, but pretty much anywhere public is going to attract a crowd whether you want it to or not. When my brother proposed to my sister-in-law, he did it in the park and it only took seconds for a small audience to amass around him and his bride-to-be, even though that wasn't his plan. If you do not want a crowd, then I say take the girl somewhere secluded. A nature trail hike would be a great place to do it, if you can get her to somewhere that's got a great view.

 

[AndThePickles]

Some women enjoy a bit of a crowd, though.

I hope your GF doesn't read this forum

 

[Ahura Mazda]

Haha - not a chance; she does not even know my user name.

 

[BlackLantern]

Hire ninjas to attack the both of you, kick all their ninja asses and then propose

 

[XSpidercideX]

Get a boat and go out on a lake with her. Ask her and if she says no push her in and drive off.

I like it.

Have friends dress up like ninjas, and then fight them off when they try to steal the ring.

That sounds like the proposal of my dreams! t:

And two things:
1. Don't talk about it too much; I had a friend who was always talking about how he was going to propose to his girlfriend in Disney World and kept raving about it to all of his friends and family...and she said no. Woops.
2. Don't bring her into a situation where she'd feel pressured to say yes, which is why I think doing it in a place that's somewhat private would be a good idea. If she says yes and then later says no when you're alone, well, that would just suck.

Anyway, just my two cents. And remember, be creative!

My friend took his girl out to this expensive suite and gave her the most romantic date she ever had. Then in the morning before she awoke, he scented the room, placed dozens of white roses around her, and played some ambient music. He then put the ring on her finger and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

So basically she woke up from having the best night of her life, to a heavenly environment with a ring on her finger. He didn't have to do the asking. But she thought it was the most romantic thing he ever did.

Just a thought.

Pretend to fall off a bridge while proposing. Then fall off the bridge for real.

In all seriousness, stage a cheating session with a female friend or hired actress. Make your girlfriend come home and catch you in the act with another woman (except it's hilariously faked). Then propose to her. The combination of heartbreaking disappointment and triumphant joy when she realizes what's actually going on will make for an amazing moment. There's nothing like combining a wonderful surprise with prior disappointment to make the surprise that much more effective.

In all seriousness seriousness, though, it really doesn't matter what you do and where, as long as it's special for both of you. If you try to stage something, it will forever have been just that: staged. More to the point, if you do anything out of the ordinary, you broadcast what you're about to do. I can't count how many girls I've known who go "So and so is taking me to X place, I think he's going to propose".

BORING!

ANTICLIMACTIC!

But ultimately, if you ask others for advice on something like this, it will forever be someone else's idea. Find something that touches you two, and do it.

Myself, one night after we decided we couldn't be apart much longer, I drove an hour and a half to my girlfriend's home at 3 AM and climbed up to her window to propose to her with a cheap plastic ring I'd purchased from Meier. She was awestruck. Not planned, but very, very special.

I think it would be very romantic if you asked her on a beautiful private garden rooftop with a gorgeous table for two. Everything catered... soft music, starlight and the setting is set. You take care of the rest. (Don't forget her favorite flower).

I asked my wife on Christmas Eve after we opened presents in our pajamas.

 

[Hotwire]

I asked my wife on the side of a foot path in The Garden of the Gods outside Colorado Springs.

Ao does anyone have any interesting and feasible ideas on how to ask a girl to marry them.

Here's a thought: perhaps you could spend an entire day with your girlfriend and plan out some fun activities for you both to do. When I say, entire day, it means inviting her over to your house to eat a homemade breakfast that you made yourself. Then, go do something that you normally don't do on an everyday basis. What does your girlfriend like to do? Do several things like this in order to make it a full day of being with this person and preferably having some extremely intimate conversations with her. At the end, take her to a nice restaurant, eat with her, and tell her how you feel. After you leave, as you're on your way back to your place or hers, ask her to spend the rest of her life with you because the day you just experienced was one of the best you have ever had, and you want to enjoy many more with her.

It's just a thought, but make sure that you're ready before you ask. If love is blind, marriage is an eye-opener.

I'm not married yet, but I've so many friends who are. Most are happy. Some wish that they had not made the commitment. I hope you're successful with your situation though.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

The best idea is to do exactly what you thought of in the first place. It's 100% your idea, from your heart. It's all about your thought, and it's going to be as romantic as it possibly can be if you two truly love each other, no matter how it goes down.

Best of luck, dude. Just go with the gut.

I want to be one of the ninjas you fight off when you get married.

 

[Ahura Mazda]

I see you are dressed for the occassion *looks at Avvy*

In any case, thanks for all the ideas. I am going to take her to Lake Como and propose to her there. I will let you know how it turned out. So the next episode will be in July, as I am not getting the ring until end of May and in June we are both busy.

In addition, to the person suggesting I spend the whole day with her by inviting her to my place, I already live with her and have been for a year.

 

[Star]

I don't know. Most of he time these scenarios happen in my Sims 2 game and they are 100% successful.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Good sound advice

 

[DBella]

I was looking at the shores of lake como where there are famous gardens.

But I was thinking more to ask her in the room on the terrace, rather then in the garden but that could be an idea.

I think that's very romantic, AM. Proposing to her, on the terrace that's overlooking the shores of Lake Como. I think that sounds absolutely lovely.

I really think a public proposal puts an inordinate amount of pressure on the girl. For me the moment itself should be private.

You've been with her for a while now so I am sure you can make a good guess of what you think will sweep her off her feet. I am sure the proposal itself will make her very happy and I bet she'll say "YES!". Congratulations!
