You do not need a "very expensive" anything! First of all RELAX :-) Everything will be great.
Now, buy a ton of candles, dozen red roses and rose petals, a cd of love songs, a bottle of wine (if you drink it), and some nice bubble bath.
Leave one rose on the doorstep with a note asking her to come in and attach a spool of string to it (kite string or thread will work). Run the string throught house and into the living room, back porch (pick a a comfortable room of your house) Tie the string to the ring and oout the ring in its box. Put the ring and the box on a table surrounded by the remaining roses, and candles.
Sprinkle the rose petals along her "path" to the ring. Also place lots of candles along the path and leave the lights off. Wait for her with the ring and when she gets there have her sit down. Get down on one knee and say, "________, I love you. No one in the world makes me as happy as I am when I am with you. I know there will be times when life pushes us to the ledge and all we have to hang onto is a thread (hence the string), but I promise you that no matter how hard life gets, I will never let the bond that holds us together break. Will you marry me?"
Then after she says "YES!", move some of the candles into the bathroom and enjoy the wine and bubble bath ;-)
Good luck and Congrats!
p.s. This is not how my husband proposed. I just think it would be very romantic.

Saw it on 'Ed' - thought it fantastic! He had a list of all her favourite things and then took her out one night and tried to make it all happen for her. Can't remember what they all were now and probably worked for him since it was fiction and in a studio and probably had about 99 takes!!
Forget the expensive ring business - if she truely loves you then it doesn't matter. We chose my ring together after the proposal so I got what I liked rather than having to be polite! And is wasn't the most expensive!
Where did you first meet?Could you go back there and tell her all the things you can remember that first drew you to her?
So long as you can be relaxed and not so worked up that you manage to say the actual words, then you'll be fine. You will, in the end, know what's best.
Good luck!!

Obviously you have been with her long enough to know you love her and know what she likes. Plan a special day/night and take her to do what SHE likes and then pop the question. It's not about how much you spent on the ring or restaurant, it's all in how you present it. Be a gentleman and remember we like to be romanced every once in awhile. Trust me, she will remember this day for the rest of her life. Go to a place she loves or a special place you two went, etc. IT WILL WORK!! Good luck!

My partner took me on a day trip yesterday to a town i had never visited before. I've being to most of Australia's major cities before and yesterday he took me to Mildura, Victoria on the Murray River. If we were going to get engaged, any location in that town would've being ideal as it's such a beautiful place!
You don't even have to take her out for tea to make the proposal, you can have a romantic picnic at a place that's popular with you both.
Have you chosen a ring yet? You should choose one for her designed by you. It'll be extra romantic and she'll love it so much!

A base ball game would be great, watching the big signs lite up and it saying marry me. Or another way is to propose on a cruise boat with lites all around and the moon with your song playing in the back ground. You know anywhere she likes to be is a great place too, you can show up with her parents and you in a suit carrying roses. Think of her and what she likes and do it there.

Have you ever gotten a clue from her? Everyone is different. My daughter wanted all her friends and family there for the "big question" so her boyfriend called everyone over. Took her out to dinner and blindfolded her before she got home. When she took off the blindfold we were all there and he got down on one knee and proposed. It was just what she had dreamed of.
Me, I wanted private....so my now husband, made a wonderful dinner at home with flowers and music, and then after dessert, he got down on his knees and asked me. I'm glad it was just us because I was crying like crazy (it would have been embarrassing in public).
My son is taking his girlfriend to the classic expensive resturant to pop the question (we'll see how that goes - he's doing it tonight).
My other daughters boyfriend took her to where they went on thier first date, had dinner then to Centennial Park and in front of the fountains, he got down on one knee and popped the question.
You need to know what kind of girl she is, private, romantic, family type.....make it special.
If you go to a resturant, have the waiter bring it on a covered plate for dessert. Think of something clever that she will never forget.
Good Luck!!

You need to do it somewhere truly memorable like the top of the Eiffel Tower or a really swanky 5* hotel, one where it costs a fortune for lunch that celebs use all the time, make her feel truly special and go that extra romantic mile and spend the night in the hotel too

If you made her a scrapbook of pictures and momentos from your dating history with the last page as part of the proposal that would be super romantic. If she's kind of suspecting the engagment and you want to throw her off just having it sitting on your coffee table for her to find at any random time might throw her off if you want it to be a surprise.

Ask her parents first!! Make it a nigh t about her favorites. Then take her by the hand and tell her she's your all and you want to spend the rest of your life loving her as your wife. That you love her for who she is and that one can take her place. Tell her that you want to fall asleep in each other are arms and wake up in them for life. Will She Do You The Honor of Becoming Your WIFE?
if this is how you feel god bless
Be encouraged
Gods Love

Buy a really pretty ring, take her to a quiet, classy restaurant, and just when they serve the coffee, go down on one knee, and do the deed, offering the ring at the same time- if she leaves suddenly, it means NO. Good luck!!!
