How do I marry my girlfriend? like what do I need to do 1st? My girlfriend wants to get married. She told me "Let's get married." I feel the same way. Do I talk to her parents 1st? What exactly do I tell her parents? Do i tell this this? "I've been with your daughter for 7 years now. I'm seriously in love with your daughter and I wouldn't want to cheat on her. I would stay loyal and faithful and will take care of her for the rest of my life. she means so much to me. Can I marry your daughter?". even if the parents does accept, how do I propose to her? Any ideas on the proposing idea?

Answer 1

Ok...here goes.
1. Respectfully and out of tradition, you could ask her parents. And since you don't necessarily have to ask, you could tell them all the things you stated, but at the end of the statement, don't say, "Can I marry your daughter?" Instead, say, "I'm in love with her and am ready to marrry her. I would like to have your blessing on our marrital arrangement. Could you do that for me?"
This way you seem more concrete in your decision, and more mature as well.

2. Propose the way you want! If there is a park you two like to visit, pop the question there with a bottle of wine or a romantic picnic. Or maybe she loves being around family. Pop the question surrounded by her loved ones. Love will definetely be in the air! ♥

3. Hope this helped ya, and hope all goes well with you both! ♥

Hi, there! Ooh, boy, the big question. I don't know how old you both are, but definitely if you want to win over the parents, talk to them about it first. My hubby did this before he asked me, and just about everyone knew and was great with it by the time he proposed. He also purchased my ring and showed it to my family, which would be a great confirmation to them of your intentions. What you want to do is set up a time to meet with them alone, maybe take them out to lunch, and say, "You know ---- and I have been together now for 7 years, and I'm very in love with your daughter and am prepared to take the next step and to spend the rest of my life with her. We've talked, and she's expressed that this is the way she feels as well. I wanted you to be the first to know that I'm planning to ask her to marry me." I would strongly advise against saying anything about not cheating on her or remaining loyal and faithful. These are considered part of the vows you take when you marry someone, and you don't want to put it in her parents heads that you may be the cheating type but you're promising that you won't cheat on her, which is the way some parents would hear that. Instead, just tell them how much you love her, what a beautiful daughter they have raised, and how excited you are to share this news with them. I asked earlier about your ages because, in the event that you are both really young, I would stress to them how prepared you both feel to take this next step. I would also start preparing a game plan now for exactly what you want and what your goals are going to be in the next few years. Where are you getting married? How are you planning to pay for the wedding? Are you guys living together now or are you planning to buy a house to start out as husband and wife together? Have answers to these questions already thought out and decided on when you go talk to her family.

Additionally, before you propose, I would definitely meet with your own family and share the news with them. Everyone likes to know a big surprise like that before the intended recipient knows, so I'm sure they would be appreciative that you shared it with them first. In terms of proposing, is there a place that means alot to both of you or even one of you? My hubby proposed to me where he grew up (which meant alot to him, so meant alot to me). He woke me up early in the am to watch the sunrise and then popped the question. We actually started a tradition that every year on our anniversary, we set the alarm a little early and go out to watch the sunrise. It's a great reflection time for us too on what has changed or happened in our lives every year; we've watched the sunrise in 3 different states, sometimes while I was pregnant with one of our children, etc. If you/your girlfriend is not a morning person, you can take this concept and go out in the evening and watch the sunset, too. Good luck with everything; you'll do great!
