Hello!! I have a friend and he wants to propose for marriage for his long time girlfriend and now he is asking me for help on how he can propose for his girl.Since, I g\haven't been married or have been proposed to, all I can share is just the mere dream of mine of a romatic proposal. For me, the most romantic way of proposing for marriage is a candlelight dinner for two at the middle of the sea, a serenade, a sky full of stars and the sincerity of the person proposing...How about you? What is the most romantic way of proposing for marriage?

Your friend really has to think about his girlfriend; what are her likes, what is she really interested in?? The degree of romance in a proposal really depends on the individual girl. For me, I like animals...so if he got creative and somehow used an animal to help propose, then I would love it! What are some of his girlfriends interests? I might be able to come up with some ideas if I knew some info about her.

How about letting a frog swallow the ring and dissect it in front of you then when he finally get the ring. Hooooray! Will you marry me? hahaha Just joking :D Creativity will be at its best when someone applied that. Maybe I am not creative enough and still puzzled on how will you able to relate animals in a proposal :D

I wasn't able to do it the way I wanted but I tried to propose to my girlfriend of five years in the most romantic way I thought. I had started to buy a red rose for every year of our anniversary and on our fifth I got an extra rose and snuck it into the apartment. If I would have had the money, I was going to have a sapphire engagement ring ready and it to the sixth rose, a white rose. I thought it was quite romantic because it was a sapphire, her birth stone and it was the historic engagement stone before the diamond.

The best way for me is to propose marriage while doing extreme sports likes skydiving, parachuting, sea diving, para sailing or riding in a roller coaster while both feel nervous and propose. It is an exciting way to test if both are willing to be a risk taker same as with marriage because it is like a gambling to me.. You could test if your partner is willing to sacrifices for you even doing extreme sports just to please his partner. You could really feel his warm care in the midst of fear he is their as your mighty knight showering you with all his affection, love, trust and full protection for you

I don't know I'd have to know the people and their relationship, I think proposals should be based off of the relationship and something that makes it unique. Like for example if the person liked Chinese food a lot and their first date was at a Chinese restaurant, go back to that same restaurant and get them to put the wedding ring in the fortune cookie. Or maybe go snorkeling and propose underwater.. that would be soo cool. I also like when the guy is really spontaneous about it and has a good opening line to it..

I met my wife on a dating site and we were in different countries. So I proposed on the phone, not the best marriage proposal. But we've been married for 5 years, so it does not actually matter how you propose. Anyway, I think a romantic dinner is great for proposing.

Hi! I find your topic interesting.And I would like to share what I have in mind too.Like you,I haven't been married nor proposed to but as a girl,I have this dream of getting married too.A proposal for me is a man's way of proposing his love and devotion to his girl and for me there is no other romantic way of doing it in front of their parents.I mean instead of just proposing to your girl or his girl why not include both of your parents right?This in return will show both parties of their willingness and devotion to build their own family with the blessing of their parents plus this will give the guy extra credits too!It's not just because the guy will impress the girl's family but it will show of his clean intentions to their daughter and that their daughter deserved the romantic experience.If I were the guy I will plan everything up why not try first the place they first met.Tell your friend that if he can still remember the place where they first met then tell him to put on the clothes he wore on that day tell him to ask his girlfriend if she can still remember what she wore on that day too and wear them too.If the girl ask why just tell her that he misses her girl seeing them wore those clothes.Invite their parents too.To sum all of it try bringing cooked food for extra sweetness and thoughtfulness to make it easier prepare all their favorite food besides this event was really especial for both of them.If you know a friend who can sing good songs and can play some musical instrument ask for a favor it's not a bad idea after all they are your friends right?Ask them to sing before or after the guy has proposed arrange their favorite song and sing them on that day do it accapella way for extra delight..I guess that's sweet and romantic..

Hi tracy! Welcome to mylot! I was never married too but I guess your idea is great! Many singles are dreaming of having that kind of setting for a proposal in marriage. I would like to suggest some proposal that I've seen in the movies.. What about eating a cake with a ring on it? Or probably eating an ice cream instead? That maybe is simple but is sooo sweet

I think it depends on the person to whom your friend will propose. He must know his girlfriend's likes and dislikes. But the best thing is something that will surprise his girlfriend. Something romantic, unusual, and something she will never forget. For me, I dream that my man will propose in a very romantic place. Somewhere private like in a beach resort in a candlelight dinner for two of course, with a romantic serenade, rose petals all over the dinner place, glass of champagne, one red balloon over the white balloons around us, and my man will give me a ring box, when I open it... there is no ring but a needle, then he would asked me to pop the red balloon, once popped... surprised... another ring box... that's the time he'll kneel on my front asking my hand and put the ring on it.

well, I'm married and I was not able to get my romantic proposal simply because my husband is not that very sweet. ok, but if I will be the one ask, I would want my boyfriend to bring me to a beach after dinner, and I want in the far end of the beach' shore, waiting a candle light path and in the end of that path waits a red carpet, where when we already step in that carpet he will half kneel and propose " my heart will float forever with you in this beach, if you'll marry me" hehe. hope it will inspire your friend

Hey there. Try to do what I think would be really nice. Sky diving :). Try to prepare a landing pad that has the words "Will you marry me?" Or something like that, then invite the one you will propose to and sky dive. Make sure that she will not be afraid of sky diving, but it will be really cool to do that. Even in front of many crowds, try to propose in front of them. It would be really nice to do that to you. It will make the girl really happy. Try cruising. Just a tip, don't make it to obvious.
