How you ask shouldn't be an important deciding factor, but it does make it more fun and memorable!

She will be happy however I ask, just want to make It memorable lol

Recently went to a wedding and the pastor recapped how my friend proposed to his girlfriend and that on top of what my friend was saying made me think I should try to make it extra special but now that I think about It the way I have planned will surprise her and be special =)

Let's just hope the crazy late night beach people aren't out =/ haha!

I proposed to my wife on our 4th anniversary by taking her to a beach on Lake Erie. I made a small note reading "will you marry me" then I burned the edges (to make it look old) and placed it in a small Captain Morgan bottle. When we were walking the beach during a sunset, I distracted her, then threw the bottle into the waves. I then said "hun, what's that" (acting surprised). She picked it up with the excitement of figuring out what it was...In the meantime, I knelt down on one knee and waited for her to turn around. She finally turned around and I had the ring box open...She cried and eventually said yes! Our one year (marriage) anniversary is on july 10th!

I totally hear you though! I was such a nervous wreck the entire time. Best of luck to you!

I still think if you stand any chance with the family you should ask him ahead of time. Old fashioned or not...it makes you look better.

Well I still have time to and that gives me something to be more nervous about anyway lol!

Even if you don't tell anyone else at all, you should still at least let him know you are planning to....even if you don't give him any details...

Good luck!!! I'm sure she'll think its perfect, keep us posted on it :]

If she loves you, any way you do it will be special.

Good Luck!
