How to Ask Her to Marry Me

I'm getting ready to make the big decision and ask my girlfriend to marry me. Are there any tips you can give me so that I don't botch this up?

What a nice problem to have! When deciding on the place and time to propose, think romantic, or if your bride is spontaneous and likes unusual things, think creative. You might give her the ring inside another gift or tied to a bouquet of flowers. You might present it at the table at a dinner by candlelight.

If she likes surprises, you can do many creative things. You could hire a singing telegram to make the proposal, or ask a favorite radio personality to announce the proposal on the radio. You could propose at half time at a sporting event, or in some other creative way.

Also check out links on other proposal ideas submitted by our readers. http://www.foreverwed1.com/articles/wedding_proposals/

Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure it will be special for both of you.
