I went one day to meet her for lunch. I had jotted down a couple thoughts from the top of the dome...but in POEM form. I actually asked her while we were in the car. The poem led up to the BIG QUESTION, and I had already bought the ring with some money I had gotten from my motorcycle accident 3-4 weeks prior.
Funny thing is in light of the proposal...she was still mad because I pretty much ignored the ring that she wanted and just bought her something with the $1200 I had left over after buying myself a brand new motorcycle.
Needless to say, I have bought her 2 new rings since we got married 3 years ago today.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!!

I did it old school.
I asked her dad for her hand in marriage and I got his blessing first.
Then on Christmas eve at Papadauxs (sp?) I very nervously got down on a knee and asked her If she wanted to spend the rest of her life with me. I asked her to grow old with me and experience our life together with children. I told her, no matter what the situation was we would work together to overcome the many challenges of life.
She imediantly replied: (crying) Are you sure...?! WTF!
I had to think quick because that totally threw me off, so I said: take the ring if you want to be together FORVER.
She took it.
Everyone clapped and whistled.
I was so nervous leading up to the question, I was sweating, her conversation was going in one ear and out the other because I was so distracted with deciding when the right moment was.
Still strong after 7.5 years. and two children but it's not easy.
To many children having children these days...take your time. If she loves you she will wait WITH you.
Good luck

It's going to depend on her. Is she the type of person that likes big crowds and all of the attention on her ? Or would this be a turn off for her ? I found a really nice restaurant, got in contact with the manager and asked what type of arrangements we could make for a proposal. We decided on hiding the ring inside a specially prepared chocolate box-type dessert.
Is your potential fiance a big fan of sporting events ? Or is she there mainly because of you ? If she's a fan and really into sports, than it would probably be a great place to propose, if not, you may try to limit yourself to places or events she would like. Remember, this is all about her, not you !
Hope this gives you a little food for thought.

I've been proposed to twice at home and I liked it that way, it was very quiet and I didn't feel pressured to say yes by people staring at me LOL!
I ended up never getting married either time but it was a memorable moment anyway.

I took my wife to see her favorite tx country artist on new years eve { KEVIN FOWLER} I had already been in contact with his stage manager and told him my plan . When we arrived she had no idea , his manager came out and asked us to follow him. She thought we were getting kicked out but he took us back to the bus to meet Kevin. When we got inside and met the whole band Kevin told her i had a question for her I got down on 1 knee in front of the whole band and asked her , she said yes ofcourse, We then all went out on stage and he announced it to the crowd it was a very nice night that was 12-31-05 been happy every since.........

Did it with the classic donkey punch first and after she stopped crying she said yes. All kidding aside, I called and talked with her pop's first. Once he said OK I just waited for the perfect time under our own roof. Had everything planned for the perfect sunset dinner at the lake but she got off work too late. Unfortunately for her, she said yes. Almost 2 years into the death contract now.
honestly, she's lived with me for 2 years, I have never understood the asking the father thing, it is none of his business really. I know I'm not a father and I probably don't understand like some of your guys that are, however, I just have never got that. I don't think it would offend him either way though, he's a good guy and he likes me.
if he doesn't give you his blessing, and is opposed to the marriage, then any further attempts at showing him respect can then be disregarded, and you just tell him, "i'm in love with your daughter and intend to spend the rest of my life with her, and if you don't like it, that's your problem", then proceed to propose to her as swiftly as possible so he can't ruin the surprise for you.
so you may want to have a plan set in motion before you ask his blessing. if he does give his blessing, and you're not ready to propose just yet, those plans can simply be rescheduled.....but it's much harder to get that element of surprise back once it's ruined, so be ready beforehand.

My proposal went like this. We had a really nice landscaped yard with waterfalls, courtyards, candles etc. I had a bowl filled with rose pedals where we were sitting and told her that there were some chocolates in the bottom. Then we got in an argument because she said she didnt want any. I said get the damn chocolates bitch!!!! After she reached her hand in she was speechless when she pulled out that rock. We still laugh about it today. Was suttle and personal. Every woman is different, she didnt like big crowds.

Damn.....here's to hoping you have a daughter and her boyfriend feels the same way one day.....screw your father, what's he got to do with this? It's none of his business really.
Come on, show some respect and ask the right way, the proper way. This isn't The Simpsons, it's real life. You catch more flys with honey than vinegar. If you took my daughter off and married her without bothering to ask me first, I would make damn sure you'd rue the day....no wedding financial assistance, no weekend BBQ's at my place, no ballgames at The Juicebox, I'd leave all my Hot Rods to charity and certainly no money in the will when I go.
And that is a father’s train of thought I’m sure, however, what your daughter wants to do is her business, ultimately you have no say over who she does or doesn’t marry, it is her choice, for you to be selfish enough to not help her when she needs it (wedding money, being a good person, etc) is trash and selfish. This isn’t 1783, I have the ability to make clear and conscious decisions, as does she, why should her father have anything to do with it? If my daughter was proposed to by a boy and she loved him and wanted to spend her life with him, that’s fine. I respect her father, we are “close” we hang out, etc, but it is not his choice who marries her.
^ There is no right or wrong way to do this. Asking her dad is a simple sign of respect. It's a classy move, totally worth the bonus points you get in the long run. You are geting advise from some guys who have a bit of experience with this.
You however will have to do it your own way.
