Go skydiving. Ask her in the plane. Tell her that you packed two chutes for her and you will hand her one or the other depending upon her answer.

This is how we did it...Lil Precious said "when we get married are we gonna live in a house or an apartment?" And I said "House"

That was it..Nothing else was said,,From then on it was understood that we'd get married..

Do people still do that? It seemed to work well for me.

I told my husband he should only ask my dad if he wanted to marry my dad - I made it clear I was in no way, shape, or form anyone else's property or that my dad could give "permission" for me. It's since become a running joke in our 11 year marriage that I'm my husband's property now

- he pulls that out when he's losing an argument!

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

When you are with the right person it does not matter what you do, they know if you mean it. Being the easy soul that i am I think a picnic in the mountains in a very "private" spot would do it for me. I would not want to have something done in front of a bunch of people. Private has some huge advantages.

Like I said..It should just come up inthe normal course of conversation..It should never be planned

That's my other pet peeve - doing the big public show. If you ask on the Jumbo-tron at the Broncos game, don't expect that she'll say Yes just to keep from embarrassing you!

Yes, it should. Planning can make it even better than it would've been.

Eww. My husband did this. I read him the riot act.

The perfect proposal will be different for everyone. Preferably it will be in a place and time when you are sharing something you both love. A shy person will not appreciate being put on the jumbotron. Mine was on a beach at sunset. I do remember spending half an hour helping a couple at A Basin dig an engagement ring out of the snow after he dropped it. rofllol

So did your Dad "give you away" at the wedding then??? I don't understand why you would read him the riot act. Depending on your relationship with your dad at least. If you hated your dad, I'm sure you wouldn't want, or care about his blessing.

Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
