lol where is the G man these days? good for him!

to the OP. it's up you to you. be creative if you're a creative kind of guy. be original, but don't blow it up. be yourself.

best of luck,

Wow, so much anger at such a simple question. Impressive, but not the good impressive.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with this question, even if it is a "tech" website. If nothing non-tech related could be asked then 75% of the Community section would be gone!

Anyway...

I took my wife-to-be up in to the mountains and had a picnic. Three years prior (before we were dating) we were hanging out at a friends house and mentioned how cool it would be to be proposed to with the ring in a flower. We weren't even dating, but I knew I was going to marry her so I remembered that. :)

The only other thing I would suggest is to ask his/her father/mother/guardian for permission. This seems to be a dying tradition, but I feel it's one of the most respectful things you can do before you become part of his/her family.

You don't just marry the girl/guy, you marry their family as well. :)
 
Have your lawyer call my lawyer about for a copy of the pre-nup and please sign the engagement letter (pertaining to what happens to the ring) so my lawyer can release the engagement ring.

Err... where's the secret handshake or the password? or how many posts do I need to be part of the community?

To op, Maybe a bigger stone will ease some of the pressure? :p

How about you make a list of questions we can and can not ask on here so we all know.

That will prevent such horrible things as this thread from ever happening in the future.

We'll make a sticky out of it, and put it on the Instantly Banned List just in case anyone should happen to be foolish enough not to follow it.
 
Just the fact that you have to ask a bunch of tech geeks how to propose tells me that shell'll say no.

But maybe you'll prove me wrong...

j/k

Just think of something that you and her really like, and think of some way to make it a lot more special than usual. Then ask. Good luck!

Asking the father is the right thing to do. The father doesn't own the daughter, he is her protector. If I had a daughter and the boy failed to ask my permission, he might find himself left sitting on his butt after I knocked him there. If your honorable, ask his permission. That tells him, you will take care of her and lover her.

while only in my dreams would something as wonderful as that happen, i do wish you would read my original post again as my point has clearly gone over your head. it was not about censorship at all.
