So, I've almost come to the point where I can afford a rock for the future wife, yet I'm totally clueless as to how to propose. I need some help here guys.....The actual proposal will have to be mostly my ideas or else I'll just feel like a loser, but I could really use a few suggestions to get the ball rolling...

I recently got engaged on July 4th of this year. My fiancee and I met at college and every year we have been together we went back to campus to watch the fireworks put on by the school. This year we went back as usual and I proposed to her outside the building we both lived at when we met. I figured it would be more memorable this way. It sounded kind of cheesey, but she thought is was great idea. It was a break from the normal proposal stories we had both heard of. Anyway, good luck with everything.

Heres an idea. Plan a night out, a classy, fancy night out. While she is getting ready in the bathroom, go in, get down on one knee and propose.

I was doing a 'survey' with people (women) IRL and they mostly said it should be a private event. Meaning don't do it while at a public place like a restaurant or sports arena. It'd be cool, but the romance is simply not there and she will always remember it. Make it special... just for the 2 of you. Try a place where you first met.
I took my opportunity while we were cruising in the middle of the Caribbean. Brought her to the front of the ship at dusk and got down on a knee. I felt like such a dork while giving the line... because it's so thoughtless (you know what I mean - give me a better word).
It was nothing special, but the location was. It's something we'll both remember forever. Well... also memorable because she had been bickering at me for dragging her outside then while we were practically late for dinner reservations that night.

When she sees the rock, I really don't think she will care what you say.Originally posted by: DarkManXY2G

YOU BEST BE JOKIN.......
Seriously......
I really like the idea of getting to go out for a nice night and then doing it while she is getting ready.
also, you may wanna tease her tons before you actaully do it...but saying.. "honey...would you do me the honor...or passing me the salt... stuff like that. that way, when you really do it, she will be happy and surprised! I wouldnt do it at a big event like a resteraunt or anything..to typical. Go away one weekend but dont tell her your going... just pack both yours and hers bags and make it a grand weekend.
Whatever you do...it will be fine if you say it from the heart! GOOD LUCK!
well im kinda old fashioned. In our culture the two families arrange the engagement. There's a little ceremony and well thats it i guess. Its not a big deal to hide the engagement from the girlfriend. I guess thats why most marriages in my country work out better than say.. umm here.. Not the typical american get on 1 knee and propse with a diamond routine. Diamonds are worthless to me anyhow. I prefer silver and my wife probably will get a lot of gold :Q

i think the proper way is to go to the girl's father and ask him for permission to marry the daughter. but that is only if it is like your first wife, and she's like 25 and younger. i think.
i'm a stickler for tradition.

Find that other thread about the guy who proposed. He had his friends take her places like for a massage and some other stuff and had the friend give her letters on hand made paper at each place telling what to do next or something. At the end, in some kind of romantic place, she went through a path like in a forest, and maybe they had dinner there, but he proposed there and his friends video taped and took pictures of everything.

I will be asking for the old man's permission.....her family is pretty traditional. She's 25 & my first wife, but I won't be asking his permission in front of her...that's just creepy.
