How do I propose?

Question

So I have a 2/3 carat heart shaped diamond set in white gold and I'm going to meet her parents in person when I'm at her graduation. She has already agreed to marry me but how do I ask in the best way?

Answer 1

No one can answer this question for you. Proposing to your future wife is extremely personal and intimate. You want it to be personal and something she'll never forget. You know her better than anyone else. You know what she likes, what she thinks is romantic, what makes her melt. Asking a bunch of strangers on how to achieve what you already know is mildly futile. Though I can relate to wanting basic suggestion for this. I suggest doing a web search on wedding proposals. You'll find tons of people willing to share how they went about it with their significant others. Hopefully something will catch your eye or spark your own imagination. My only advice is to make it honest and heartfelt. You'll know how to go about this when the time is right for you.

Answer 2

Nice choice in a ring! I have a one carat heart shaped diamond and I get at least two to three compliments on it a week, how unique it is and how cute a heart shaped diamond is.

You know your wife to be better than anyone. The best advice I can give you is to make it memorable, do something creative or special when you propose. If you use your imagination, and speak from your heart, you will make it a very special day that you will both remember for the rest of your lives.

Good luck!!!

Answer 3

Your marriage is between you and her. So it's nothing you HAVE to do in public. If you want to propose to her in front of her parents, be a sport and have your parents there too.

What I recommend is think of romantic and very personal spots you two have shared over the time you have been together. Somewhere you may have shared your love for each other, or had serious discussions, or had the best time of your life with her. (The only hard part is when it's winter...)

You gotta have a plan going in... but once you begin the proposal, don't plan on making sense of the situation... but don't forget to ask her to marry you after you get on a knee and pull out the ring. I almost did. I thought it was all implied by that point....

Answer 4

All of the suggestions are good. This is something you need to decide. Think about what she likes, maybe where you met for first time, where you went on your first date. Something romantic like that. Just have a evening out. I think that proposing in a restaurant is kinda tacky, so go out, then ask her after. If weather is nice, go for a walk, find a quiet intimate place you can be alone.

When it comes down to it there is no best way. When people find out, they will ask how you asked her. Think about what her dream answer would be.

Answer 5

Depends on how traditional you are, how romantic you want to be or if you want to surprise her.

Traditional - Ask her father for her hand in marriage first.
But seeing as you are going to meet them in person, tells me that this is your first time meeting them. You might want to wait a bit before asking her father for his daughter. Dad's don't like letting go of their girls.

Romantic - Take her out for a night on the town (dinner, dancing, romantic walk), then get down on one knee and pop the question. Ex...the beach is also a romantic place.

Surprise - Go out and do something fun, where she would least suspect anything, then pop the question. Ex...an arcade, amusement park.

Do what you heart tells you is the best way. You will know when the time is right.

I don't know your personalities, so I really don't know what would be the best way.

My friend got proposed to while she was on the toilet, and their wedding is set for this May. Funny how things work.

Good Luck to you.

I would suggest in this new world of reality you make one more observation before you make that choice of asking her to marry you.
I warn you if you ignore it ,
will be at your own peril.
A young girl who was worried if she was making the right decision about marriage,
asked her Grandmother how could she be guaranteed of having as good a marriage .
Grandma's answer was simple.
see how he or she treats her parents or her siblings,
without any dough they will treat you exactly the same , just as soon as they get accustomed to you. good or bad.
the ring and what you feel is love ,
could be your downfall.
if she screams at her parents and says the most terrible things about how stupid and retarded they are,
your next.
but if she is kind and loving to them ,
your in for a great life.
my only other suggestion is, if you or she is a jealous person run away as soon as you read this.
jealousy is a incurable disease,
that will kill you faster than Cancer.

Answer 7

Getting down on one knee and saying "Will you marry me?" never goes out of style! Throw in some mushy stuff about how much you love her, and you'll be all set.

Answer 8

I assume you already know her interests. Propose in a way that most interests her. Is she interested in sports? In recreational activities. Since you are the one who knows her very well, I think you are in the most suitable position to know what the best way to propose to her.

Answer 9

My husband just asked me when I was over at his apartment watching a movie - it was the BEST!
