How did you ask your partner to marry you? Did you do anything special?
- blindpilot0
i didn't do anything special, when i wanted to ask, i asked - i think it's better that way, you can't engineer the moment to be right, wait, and when the moment is right, do it.
when i asked her father if it was alright, he made sit in the chair in the lounge for 25 minutes while he finished the program he was watching. i was almost shaking, i thought i had asked the unthinkable while i was stewing for that 25 mins.
after the credits had rolled [panorama] he asked me 'what did you say' - i told him i wanted to marry his daughter, and he said...
caveat emptor - [ let the buyer beware] that was it.
now i have a wife and 3 kids - fantastic
don't wait, well just long enough to be sure she's the one

I proposed at the British High Commission in Singapore. It wasn't engineered that way it just kinda happened.

I guess she was really keen to get that passport.

Yikes! I can't believe you think like that!
As it happens she doesn't have a british passport...
BTW, we've been married for 5 years.

i got down on thy bent knee in front of 30 other women and asked my bird to marry me
top bollocks to me!
- nicko0
Top bollocks indeed. Was thy bird inclined to accept thy offer?

of course! I'm a good catch and she's a top filly :)

There's old fashioned ways, and more personalable ones. I'd go for something less cliché and more imaginative, but remember that all her friends will want to know how you did it. If you want to earn some brownie points with her friends, this is the way to go. btw nothing wrong with a good old 48 sheet poster campaign.

Ha ha - I love the fact you have a user name like DonkeyPunch yet want to know how people made their proposals special... class.
You could try this approach.

i sent my lady on a little journey, little shops downtown, each with a little gift and a note leading her to the next location. She eventually made it to the rooftop of a building where I was waiting. I had scattered flower petals all over the roof and got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.
we were married in june.

that's a great story, blindpilot.

I had no idea you were all so religious.
- gruntt0
who said anything about religion?
we were married by a close friend who was "ordained" on the interweb.
=P

Nothing special when I poped the question it was on her 21st out side the mens bogs,
I though if she said yeah it would be for all the right reasons and not for just spending money and taking her somewhere special
and guess what it worked and I know have a lot more money to show for it as well

Getting married is the biggest act of hypocrisy that most people will commit. Even the devorce rate pisses on it's meaning.
I like the idea of getting everyone together to announce a coming together of two peeps - followed by a shin-dig - but beyond that..
ergh..

Well, I went to this website and ordered it online. My Computadora!
