Will You Marry Me?
“I guess I should just come right and say it. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I know this may not be the proper time or place, but I couldn’t wait another moment. That’s how important it is for me to have your hand in marriage. So what do you say? Will you marry me?”
(snaps out of dream)
Okay, so that probably wasn’t the smoothest way to propose to someone, but at least the message was sincere. In fact, I can’t even hate on the approach, because it’s hard enough to build up the nerve to even utter those words. You see, marriage proposals can create an anxiety within men that is only surpassed by the butterflies we feel before our first time doing “it.” (Yeah I said “it)
Surprisingly, both instances have more in common than you may think.
-We want things to be perfect.
-We hope to get a positive response from the woman.
-We hope they tell their friends just how great it was.
But those similarities aside, the marriage proposal carries a lot more weight, so your approach should indicate as much. I dug up this old video of Martin proposing to Gina just to provide an example of someone going above and beyond the call of duty just to say, “Will You Marry Me?”
But I’d also like to hear from you though. Share with me your own proposal fantasies. How would you do it… or better yet, how would you like to be proposed to?

Just a Thought
My perfect proposal… hmmm, I don’t think I’ve really put that much thought into it. I think it’s more important what he says and that it’s sincere. That, and he chooses circumstances that are compatible with my tastes and our relationships. I’d like something intimate, and not overly cliche. And he better have consulted my friends on what kind of ring I like (cut, clarity, and color matter more than carat weight). A flawless .97 carat diamond beats a huge cloudy rock anyday.

Lol Fly Guy you should have put up the clip from Martin’s first proposal so men know what not to do.

i think it would have to be @ the most random time so i wouldn’t expect it. like when we’re watching television…
o yea & it’d be nice for ‘finding forever’ by common just happened to be playing in the background. that song or ‘the light’ also by common

These proably going to sound weird but F it,it’s me.
I would likeit to be at a place where i would never think. like we rolling thru Mickey D’s drive thru and I go to get my fries and I get handed a ring instead. Or he tell me to open the glove dept. and it’s in there, or with the eggs . Something so outside the box, so I wasn’t ready for it like that. I don’t want the soft music, or candlelight. let me not see it coming

My ex-fiance was very predictable, and I knew when it was happening. However, he did manage to throw me for a loop when we get home and there’s balloons all over the place and our best friends come tumbling out of the bathroom with video camera in hand. Not exactly romantic, if you ask me. It was more of a spectacle.
I agree with Nikki P - I want to be completely caught off-guard. And I think it’s a private moment; all our friends and family don’t need to be involved. Strangers (like at a restaurant or something) can be in on the surprise, but I don’t want to feel like I have to give the right answer because my mom’s watching.

One of my most favorite engagement stories was from a friend of mine who was living with her boyfriend. They planned to go out of state to visit his family for Christmas, so they never decorated the house or put up a tree- they were leaving X-mas morning. So X-mas eve, they go to bed, and he sneaks out of bed while she’s asleep to put up a tree, decorate it, and put a present underneath - a big box with her ring inside. He went back to bed and woke her up and said she needs to see something in the living room… and she found the tree, all lit up, and he gave her the box and dropped to his knees to propose as she opened it.
