Hi I'm 18 years old and I plan on popping the question to my girlfriend when she turns 18 later this year. But I don't plan on getting married until I am 19 to 20 which will be later to next year. But I wanted romantic and memorable ideas to propose to her. The idea I had was take her to her favorite rock band concert and get the lead singer (Chester Bennington) to bring us upon stage and propose to her infront of all those people. What do you guys think?

Well I know you guys think its too young to get married but you don't understand something. I have known this girl for 6 years. I know what she eats/drinks and how she sleeps lol stockerish I know but still. I love this girl to death and being in college I don't want to lose her being so far away. My reason for marrying her though is because I love her sooo much and I know that it's a bit young but I can handle it. By the way Chester Bennington is lead singer of Linkin Park

It's not love, it's fear.
When you both graduate, have full time secure jobs, no bills, then you can think about getting married. Not a moment before.

It's really really hard to imagine the ideal way to propose to someone but to be on the safe side, don't propose in front of an audience of rock music fans. Why? Because SHE may feel uncomfortable and even the slightest hesitation would be embarassing not only to you but to her.
Also, believe it or not, women's romantic fantasies do run more to the proposal at sunset on the terrace after a fabulous meal at a restaurant and a lovely bottle of wine!
Privacy is not a bad thing - it should be between the two of you, not a spectator event.
Maybe the proposal in a romantic setting before the concert and then just enjoy a perfect evening.

I like the idea that you are ready to commit at such a young age. I mean their are people in their 30 and older that are still just shakking up with someone instead of making a commitment. I am sure you really care for her. I would rather do things right instead of living life wrong and regretting it later. I hope the best for you two and that you are able to take upon a home and other things that yall are gonna need as a couple it is a big responsability but if you have the desire to pursue it I am sure you can make it. Just plan ahead and get things in order.

yes it is definaltey memorable but I wouldnt put her on the spot like that in from of so many people. It should be a private moment between the two of you.
Also you may want to hold off a bit, alot can change in your early 20's, if you two are still together when you are 25 give it a go.
Thats great that you love her so much but if your love is strong enough it will wait through college and just be that much stronger.
P.S. if you can get linkin park to allow you on stage during a concert then that will be pretty impressive

In Sociology classes, marriage and the family, I learned that any engagement over 6 months is setting you up for failure. Getting married at 20 is very young because your interests, earning power, beliefs etc will be evolving easily until you are 28. I met my hubby in high school, we dated 6 years. Got married, and are still together now and its been since 1979. We evolved together as a couple, but one break up in 1982 for about a year, was all we needed to make sure that we really wanted to be with each other. Good luck, and dont have any kids til you both are at least 25.

Just pop it. As I have learned over life, marriage is the one day when the woman knows knows knows that the day is all about her. These do not happen often and forgive me for some not ever. When you do pop the question the focus shifts away from you and to her answer. How many grooms have popped the question and the reply was "...let's wait awhile." Countless. She may ask you offhand as my wife did me BUT I STILL HAD TO PROPOSE. I did; ten years ago. THERE IS NOTHING NOTHING like receiving a yes. You have waited your whole life for that yes and a life of love. LIFE. Sacrifices, dreams, heartache, tears, happyness, joy, pain, in fact what makes each of us human.
We are all so lucky to be leading this life. If anyone questions our luck go and enlist, see the world, and know heartache. DO NOT ENLIST. Just go to any Soldier and ask them. Not a Captain or officer but a Soldier. ANY of them can tell you a story how lucky we are if they have been in longer than one year. That's all it takes.

I think that 19 or 20 is way to young to get married, but I have a feeling you don't think so or even care. Never heard of Chester Bennington...go for it if you still plan on proposing.

Honey, you are way too young to be getting married. Are you not going to college? I know my 20 year old is involved with a girl that is a couple of years younger then him and they believe they will eventually get married but both want to establish themselves first. I know 1st hand what can happen when you get married at 19. I have been divorced from him for 16 years now. I believe if you both really care for each other you will still be there for each other when you get yourselves established. How will you be able to take care of her when you have a child and she wants to stay home with the baby? This can and will happen. Take care of yourself first and then it will be much more meaningful when it finally happens.

Ok.....I do think that you both are too young however....Do what your heart tells you listen life is too short you need to live it like it is your last so if you really, really, really love her as much as you say and you want to spend the rest of your life with her then do it. And it would be cool to have Chester do that for you more memories to tell the kids and grandkids! I wish you both well and hope everything goes as planned. Good Luck and stay in love!

Bad idea to propose on stage somewhere...too much peer pressure on her. It should be a privately shared moment. Not in a restaurant -- too many variables and awkwardness.
Someplace special that you both enjoy, just sitting and talking about stuff. Somewhere you've always shared cool moments together. Someplace the two of you will always consider special. That's the place.

Will Linkin Park do that for you, you could alos record all her favourite songs onto a CD and give it to her and half way thru the CD have your proposal on there and that way she has it forever and when you go to college she can listen to it when she is missing you. I think you really do love her and I hope she says Yes Good Luck!!!!!!
