Dante311 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 how would you do it? My brother and I have been brainstorming how he should propose to his bride to be... and we know she wants a romantic, unprecedented, unique, breathtaking proposal... any ideas?
anne1707 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 and we know she wants a romantic, unprecedented, unique, breathtaking proposal... If she truly loves your brother and wants to marry him then she would not care what the proposal was like - however it happened would work for her.
threebyfate Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I agree with anne that it shouldn't matter if she really loves him. But....if your brother is determined to sweep her off her feet, we're going to need a budget to stay within for suggestions unless being transported on a 400 foot yacht to a private island in the South Pacific, where upon arrival there's a silk gazebo set up on a white sandy beach with huge, beautifully embroidered silk pillows to sit on, is all within budget. Dinner then is promptly served where cabana boys wave fronds to ensure that there's a consistent breeze. Dinner is comprised of finger foods so he can feed her each delicacy. At the end of dinner, a cabana boy will run up quietly with a beautiful box on a black velvet pillow. I can finish this story if it's within budget. Let me know!
Eeyore79 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I agree - I'd be so overjoyed if my bf proposed that I wouldn't really care how he did it. Maybe if he did it in a romantic setting, somewhere scenic, with champagne and a nice ring?
alexlakeman Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 Unless you've been married you don't realize the significance of the proposal years down the line. It's a beautiful memory... When I got married, I was even less sharp than now, lol.. I was 22-23.. I proposed to her in bed after we had sex, lol... not romantic in the sense that you are able to tell your friends and family about it.. it wasn't even in a romantic destination.. in my bed.. You do NOT need to spend a fortune to make it memorable.. Like some said, anything (within reason) he does she will remember and love...Nowadays, I'd probably go on a weekend getaway to nearby spot (you do NOT need to spend a lot of bucks) on the beach, have some roses waiting for her in the room, take her to dinner, take a walk on the beach, and propose to her under the moonlight..
miracle252 Posted November 26, 2010 Posted November 26, 2010 I agree with this Unless you've been married you don't realize the significance of the proposal years down the line. It's a beautiful memory... And disagree with this If she truly loves your brother and wants to marry him then she would not care what the proposal was like.It is really beautiful memory and not only for the girls. It’s your common memory which you’ll remember hundreds times. Moreover, you’ll be asked about this hundreds time and maybe even by your children. Proposal implies romantic. And be sure that for women it is really matter how and when man makes proposal. In other case, she’ll remind your unsuccessful proposal all your life even if she marries you. Remember, women always want to be a princes.

What mattered to me was being with my man
LittleTiger Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 I agree with anne1707. It's the meaning that's important - nothing else really matters. My man proposed to me in a very wild and beautiful place on a mountain in the Swiss Alps. I know that he was very nervous about it and he agonised for a long time about how and where to do it. He chose the perfect spot, it was incredibly romantic, he did it beautifully and neither of us will ever forget it. However, I knew the proposal was coming at some point because he had told me quite a while beforehand that it was going to happen. We were in the chocolate isle at the local supermarket, just shopping for food (chocolate obviously ) and enjoying being together and he suddenly announced how wonderful he thought I was and that at some point in the near future he was going to ask me to marry him. Don't get me wrong here, 'the real proposal' was perfect and I love him for doing what he did but the 'chocolate isle proposal' will be the one I'm still telling people about when I'm old and wrinkly and my memory is starting to fail.
threebyfate Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 In all seriousness, one size doesn't fit all. Each couple needs to decide what works for them. If she's expecting a romantic proposal, it doesn't hurt to give her one. If she's not, then don't. Same goes for the guy. If he's reasonably comfortable with providing a romantic proposal, then do it. If he feels really uncomfortable and would feel like an idiot, then don't.

I think the proposal that happens for the couple needs to be special and unique to the couple, something she would like and something he would enjoy doing, not something plucked out of thin air as a generically romantic idea. Ya know?

Ya know? I agree. It has to be meaningful in some way to the coule concerned otherwise it can be a bit cliche. My man and I are both outdoor 'mountain people' and the way he chose was perfect. If he'd paid for an expensive dinner been lovely I'm sure, but it just wouldn't have been 'us'.

That it happened on Valentine's Day infused that prior "no big deal" day into something really special, always remembered. Also, the prior Valentine's Day for me was the ultimate joke which I won't get into, so the contrast made it even more special.

Exactly, it was meaningful for you two and I think that's all that matters. Even the chocolate isle was meaningful for us - we're both chocaholics!
LittleTiger Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 This thread makes me depressed. Am I missing something here CE? Care to enlighten us? Well me anyway.
Esmailsaha Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 me also confused !!! i can't think how can i do this .............................
miracle252 Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 In this case I can say just one thing. The most important is to feel your partner. Does she like romantic? Then, make it romantically:love:! I’m sure she told hundred stories how she’d like it to be or at least she told about her friends’ stories or film's scene, and etc. She likes extreme - make a parachute jump together and make proposal in the sky! She likes theater - go and ask manager of this theatre to allow you to make a proposal from the stage! All depends on you and your self-confidence. Maybe it is even better to consult with her best friend or her mother and ask how to do this in the best way.
