* How to Ask for Your Girlfriend's Hand in Marriage *

So, you want to get married? Great! It's a big step, one not to be taken lightly. Here's how to ask your girlfriend's parents (or just her dad) for her hand in marriage.

Steps
Evaluate. Is now a good time for you two to get married? Are there any reasons you shouldn't? Think about it through your girlfriend's parents' eyes: would they want their daughter marrying you? If you have only known one another for a week, you may want to hold off on the wedding, or just elope!
Choose the place. Pick a time for you to go to her parents' house, or ask them out to lunch. Do you want your lady around when you ask or would you rather do it alone?
Know what you're going to say! This helps cut down on your nervousness. Talk to yourself for a while, working out the introduction and any points you'd like to make. It's better than just sitting down with them and then...you go blank. Having a little speech prepared practically guarantees you'll make a good impression.
Look good. What parent wants their beloved daughter marrying a total sleaze? Wash yourself that morning, do your hair, put on some nice clothes. Even clean jeans and a button-up shirt look great. Also, brush your teeth.
Begin the meeting politely. Chances are, if you called and asked them for a meeting, they have already speculated what you want. They may already have an inkling as to what you're about to do. So begin politely.
Explain how much you love their daughter, how she has changed your life. Then take a deep breath and say, "I would like your permission to marry her." They may be utterly shocked, or they may smile knowingly and nod. Tell them, "I know this is a big step, and I'm not expecting an answer right this minute. If you'd like some time to think about it, I understand." Then tell them about how you'd like to propose, or show them the ring if you've bought it already. If they WOULD like a few days to discuss it, be polite and when you're ready to leave say, "Well, I better get going so you guys can talk about this! Let me know what you decide. I'd like to ask her soon."

Tips
Prepare yourself for a NO. In a perfect world they would say yes, welcome you to the family, and give you a stack of cash. In reality, they're people with opinions, fears, and dreams, just like you. If they truly don't want you to marry their daughter, ask them why. If their reasoning is wrong, you can gently try to calm their worries, and hope they change their mind. If they don't, be prepared to make one of two choices: 1: Marry her anyway, or 2: Leave her alone.

Warnings
DON'T bring up how rich you are! If your income is something you think could work in your favor, don't shove it in your future in-laws' face. Instead, subtly say, "I know I can take care of her financially, if anything were to happen. She'll always have what she needs."
DON'T be too nervous! Some dads are annoyed by less-than-manly men, and he may decide he really doesn't want you as part of the family.

Answer 2

Kind of a funny story....my (now husband) boyfriend asked me one day (out of the blue) if I loved him. We were in the middle of watching a movie at home, and had taken a "bathroom break". I told him I did, but that he needed to hurry up so we could finish the movie. He asked me a couple more times...did i love him? was I gonna' let him take care of me (I am fiercely independant) when I need it? I started to get aggrevated and told him that I wasn't going to if he didn't hurry up so we could finish the movie. He asked me one more time....and with an aggrevated huff, I said "Yes, now get your *** back in here so we can watch the movie!" He threw the ring (no box....just the ring) across the room to me and said "Good, put this on!" And that was the end of it. There was no question, no proposition, no down on one knee. We had been friends for a long time. I don't think most guys could get away with something like that....but I liked it, it suited our personalities perfectly. I said all of that to say this....it doesn't have to be traditional if you don't want it to be. If you guys are young and neither of you have been married before, I will say that most girls have this fairytale idea of proposal, so you might want to make it romantic, but I would tailor it to something that the two of you enjoy doing together.

Answer 3

Be creative, and do something that speaks from the heart. I don't want to give you specific examples as only you know what would be most appropriate for your girlfriend and you. Just a couple of ideas: Take her to a special place that the two of you have a connection with. Or find a romantic, intimate setting. Treat her to a weekend out of town, go somewhere the two of you have always wanted to go. Or just do it in the comforts of your own home, with some candlelight, rose petals, and a fabulous dinner. In the end, just think about what you want to say, make sure it is sincere, and do get down on your knee! Many women dream of that part all of their lives!
It's up to you sweetie and best of luck!

I live in Long Beach, CA, one evening while walking along the canals, a group of people unfurled a banner over the side of a bridge. The guy had his girl on a gondola and arranged for his family to unfurl the proposal on a banner as they rode under it. He even had arranged for a videographer to record the event.

My husband proposed on our second date. We spent a long day site seeing and were sitting under a large tree by Olvera Street just enjoying the afternoon when he asked me to marry him. He asked me 3 times that day. By the evening I knew he was Mr. right. We have been together 31 years.

Answer 5

I saw a proposal at a corn maze once (so if you want to use this idea, you’ll have to wait for the fall). A guy had set up pumpkins at the end of the corn maze. Each one had a letter and it spelled out “will you marry me?” (and there was even a pumpkin with the question mark) and he had them set up on bales of hay with the candles and even a couple of pumpkins with hearts on them. He must have had help because he was in the maze with her and I saw them come out at the end and she was just shocked and he got down on one knee. It was the best proposal I’ve ever seen.
Also, at my college graduation, someone had a huge banner hanging from one of the buildings, so when we were walking out of the graduation, the girl saw the banner that said “Amy, will you marry me?” and he was waiting there with the ring.

Answer 6

Dont do what my partner did to me,
We were sat in a restaurant in Greece,i went the toilet.
When i came back he'd ordered a bottle of red wine and just plonked a box on the table and said
'here,since you have been a good girl'
I could not believe that that was supposed to be a proposal.
Hes not the most romantic person but my god it was pitiful.
Make sure you plan it,take her for a meal,be romantic,ask her father first(the parents will always remember your decency of asking their permission).
Make sure you know she will say yes.
good luck

Answer 10

It dismays me that you haven't thought of a creative idea yourself. How important is this girl to you? Your mind should be flowing with creativity - and really - who on this site is going to know what your girlfriend likes better then you? Start thinking for yourself!!!
