Over The Top Marriage Proposals

Do women really want/like, over the top marriage proposals?

Is a dude a chump if he just pops the question after dinner at home? Or, does he need to hire a band and fireworks display.

I Apologize if this has been discussed before.

 

There's a fine line between being over the top and making something meaningful. It's always about what can be done to turn that moment magical for that special somebody. If you have the creative means to go over the bounds in that proposal, and if you have the connections and money, then by all means, make it happen.

But, if your loved one seems low-maintenance...well...putting a ring inside a Papa John's pizza would suffice.

 

It all depends on the individual man.
As long as it is genuine and coming from the heart,matching his actual personality,any way of proposing can be beautiful.
A proposal that is very different from his actual personality comes off weird and fake,which I don't like.

 

Was it Just Go With It where Adam Sandler has a mariachi band set up for when he pops the question, but she says no and they play anyways? I always thought that was hilarious. Anyways I think I would do it kinda small... as a matter of factly just in case she says no, I would be like, "thats cool" and change the channel and get another beer. So I guess at home during the Bears game while the frozen pizza is in the oven.

That way I can kinda shield being absolutely shattered with a cloak of indifference.

Feel me.

"babe, I know you said no to the marriage thing, but do you think you can get the pizza from the oven and another Budweiser out the fridge? Thanks. Didnt wanna miss this play. Luh ya boo!"

 

Exactly! Over-the-top proposals, to me, always seems artificial.

I tell my girl if she wants to get married she's gotta propose to me. I was ready after our third date she's the one who has to catch up lol

 

LOL..you are kidding right

 

Nope told her she better sweep me off my feet too. I want it very public and very romantic lol

 

If I were that lucky and in love with this woman, I'd do it in either one of two ways;

1. A club with a live band(I would ask the musicians if they could play a specific song and I will sing it to her. After that, get on one knee and propose.

2. A trip. New York City, London, England or Tokyo, Japan(there are two place I could propose there. Tokyo Tower and(I forgot the name of the place)where the Godzilla/Gojira statue is.

I would also make damned sure the ring fits and is insured. Lastly, I'd make sure that my love for her is complete and that she feels as I do.

 

mot of these guys do this over the top BS is to get their 15 minutes of fame. hell, just asking in front of her fam at dinner on sunday is too much for me. fuck all that other shit like a plane flying over and shit

 

Lol @ TDK I think this is very sweet, I hope she catches up with you and you can tell us all about her proposal, play by play.

For me, I believe over the top proposals are nice, but honestly, over-rated. I just want it to be special, personal, and meaningful. I want him to really make an effort to show me he really knows me, and it will be something I will remember for the rest of my life.

I agree, hope she catches up, and we get the play by play! :smt003


When my ex proposed, he took a photo album, and filled it with pictures we've taken throughout our relationship to that point (and apart, pictures we sent each other during the long distance periods). He decorated it kinda like a scrapbook, wrote down memories, why the pictures were special. The very last page of the (half filled) album had a sticker saying, "will you marry me?".

It was simple, he flew to DC, stayed overnight then spend a week in Guatemala for a missionary trip, then flew straight to me in Canada. He brought the album with him on the trip, but didn't want to risk losing the ring. So, he asked me when he arrived at my house (in the middle of the night, everyone was asleep). Then, when we were back on campus and he actually had the ring with him, he asked me again (when it was him and I alone in the room).

When I told my parents, my dad said, "HEY! Not till the photo album's full!". I told that to my favorite cousin, and she's like, "well, we're gonna have to take a lot of pictures of you guys this summer". 3 days later, the album's full and my dad accuses me of being a cheater

I like relationship things kept private for the most part. Even though my ex and I have been broken up for ages, people at school still ask me how he's doing, they still don't realize we're not together anymore.
