vegaslightz Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Three words, tradition, tradition, tradition. Dinner, flowers, and by all means, get down on one knee! Nothing takes the place of really showing her you care about this special moment in both your life times! Good luck and all the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitelord Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Tyler, you are probably going to get a ton of different answers. The only thing I can say is that yours and her personalities will play a part. By that I mean One of my best friends proposed to his (now wife) in the middle of a horse show. That was her passion and he intruded. He asked her in front of hundreds of people. She gave him a hand signal and rode off. They later got married, but he embarrassed her in from of her friends and peers. He and all of us guys agreed it was the right way to do it. She did not think so. She wanted a little more privacy. Something special between the two of them. Some women are okay with the public display. Some aren't. All I'm saying is think about it. Just my humble opinion. Good Luck and Best Wishes...

Rich Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 The best thing to do is NOT to plan anything. Just let it happen during an intimate, private moment between the two of you. Just tell her how she makes you feel and what you want from the life ahead of you with her. Tell her what's in your heart. You don't need anything fancy.

Marylander Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) I agree with Rich, don't overly plan it. Here's how I proposed to my wife: We live about an hour south of Gettysburg, PA. We were both interested in Civil War history, and when we were dating we'd go up there pretty often to see the sights, take in the battlefield, try out the restaurants, etc. So the day I decided to propose I stuck the ring in my pocket and just figured the right moment would present itself. We spent the day doing touristy things, re-tracing paths we'd walked down before, etc. I had a few funny ideas like taking her to Devil's Den, the sight of a lot of bloodshed, and saying something silly like, "this scene of such suffering and horror, such torment, such agony, it seems like an appropriate place to ask you to become my wife" (you'd have to know my dry sense of humor to know that she would have laughed at that). But I knew deep down that wasn't the right way to do it, so I waited. We went to dinner at a nearby B&B, The Cashtown Inn. Lee's army had passed right by there on their way to the battle, and some of Lee's men had spent the night in the inn. It has a lot of history. It also happened to be right around Christmas, and the inn had these nice ceramic ornaments for sale in the lobby. After dinner I asked the waitress to get one of the ornaments and put it on or dinner check. And at the same time I told my then girlfriend "when we get outside on the porch, ask me why I bought that ornament." So we leave the restaurant, and out on the porch she says, "Ok, why did you but that ornament?" And I get down on my knee and say, "So that you have a souvenir from the day that I asked you to marry me." And with that I pulled out the ring and proposed.

Adam Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) propose? Ive been with the GF for over 6 years now and have been thinking of diff ways....... please on real honest sugg no funny business..... (P.S) i only posted this on my two favorite forums;) Well first Tyler, we are honored to be one of your favorite forums! Next, I hope she isn't a detail freak like the rest of us here! (Wouldn't want to let the cat out of the bag.) There have been many replies here all are outstanding. I remember asking her father for permission, and that was nerve racking! We were out the door to Italy, and it was a call that I was putting off for a while. Being alone was important to me, and I knew she wouldn't want the proposal to be a spectacle. On a hike up to some 11th century ruins in Lago di Como, I asked, trying not to be nervous, "Babe, I want you to be mine for life." Then, dropped down on one knee, and asked her to marry me. She took a while to respond, but finally did. I was nervous as heck, but afterwords, like Ken said, you'll remember it as one of your best days ever! Advice: Bring a camera, as we are happy to have photos of that big day! Good luck Tyler, and will you keep us posted??
