Is she pregnant? That's how the best ones start.

I can tell you about mine. I was "goin' to town" one evening and breathlessly blurted out, "Let's….get……married."

Put it up on the scoreboard at Yankee stadium.

She told me no.

Then the mascot threw a beer in her face for rejecting me and dragged me over to a **** sitting alone at the game and forced us to make out in front of everyone.

I married the **** and it has been a beautiful 24 years together.

Wanna know how to do it? Here's how you do it. Take her out to dinner. Go down on one knee. If you are in costume, you did something wrong. If at any point you find yourself tying a ring to a dogs collar, stop, and look at yourself.

don't make a big gay deal about it. You're not the king, she's not a princess.

Ask her dad for permission first. See if he's going to be a real a-hole as a FIL so you can eject if necessary

Agree with what others have said on here. If you're marrying a good one, she won't want a big made for instagram look at me proposal.

1. Ask father. You won't regret doing this, but you might regret not. It's respectful and gets the whole thing started on the right foot.

2. Don't get carried away on the diamond. Again, if she's a good one, she won't be as concerned about the size/clarity/shape of the diamond as much as she is with the man giving it to her.

3. Get on one knee and ask her to marry you. That is a timeless romantic gesture that stands on its own two feet. You're asking her to spend the rest of your lives together. It's deeply meaningful and doesn't need the help of a bunch of frills around it to be a moment she'll never forget. Classic.

Don't ask her dad for permission. Tell him what you're doing. Be a man.

He walks into my apartment, slides a ring box across the kitchen and says "Hey Last Name, want to get married"

20 years later, still living the dream

Be sure to do it early in the game. She might want to leave in the 5th inning and then you're screwed.

We played battleship at a wine bar on our first date. She cheated.

I went back to the same wine bar and bought the same battleship game (they lost it). They held back the game and a nice bottle of wine for us to have. I made the ships look like a question mark.

She was kind enough to say yes and is now carrying our twin boys. Good times!

Once upon a time, a man asked a girl...

"Will you marry me?"

The girl said "NO!"

And the man lived happily ever after, and rode motorcycles, and went fishing, and hunting, and played golf, and dated women half his age, and drank beer, and scotch and had tons of money in the bank, and scratched his balls without criticism and left the toilet seat up!

The end

And if you do get married expect it to last 18 years. That seems to be when she becomes unhappy.

People should get married. They should do it young and much more recklessly. The thought of divorce should not be on the table. You should have lots of babies and raise them to be soldiers in the struggle against anti-human communists who tell other people to die alone.

Did it on our ring day. Talked with the Association months beforehand, and they helped me plan a time when the plaza in front of the giant ring would be cleared out for a couple of minutes. I pulled out boots, and my buddies did a sabre arch in the plaza. She was watching with everyone else, not realizing it was for her, and my buddy who'd been tasked with having her in the right place at the right time took her arm and said, "We need to go." She responded with something like, "Go where? I wanna see this!" He said, "No, we need go up there. This is for you." She was totally shocked because we'd talked about it, but I'd always told her I would do it in boots and she assumed sometime it senior year. All our friends and family were in town for ring day already, and they all knew, but she didn't suspect a thing.

She said yes, and 14 years later we're still married.

I asked last night after I almost burned her house down making dinner. No ring. No plan. I just said "we should get married tomorrow".

She said no.

Very glad I didn't buy a ring or plan some elaborate ordeal.

Guess I'll just have to keep being a bachelor in the prime of my life and career…

Sounds like you came across very serious with your proposal.

You should have stuck with your original plan. You've said many times on this board there was no reason for y'all to get married.

I guess my proposal was during sex. In the heat of the moment I said "I want to do this forever!". And she said "ok".

Not really but it's my trope contribution to the thread.
