Suggestions for marriage proposal, Durban

[cerebus]

Are you afraid that she'll turn you down if you do anything less than an elaborate overblown proposal?

And don't forget to tell her that you are so mature and ready for marriage, that you went onto a public forum to ask how to propose.

Nobody knows how to ask, since it's hopefully something you only have to do once in your life. Cut him a break.

I know that I am mature enough to know when to ask for help for a subject that I have no prior experience with.

No. I am quite confident that she will say yes. It does not need to be elaborate or cost alot. I just want her to know that I put a lot of thought into it because I have been thinking about this for quite a while and even though I have no idea what I am doing, and will probably not get the way she has probably been picturing it, she will know that I put in time, effort and thought into it even if it's something simple. I would also like it to be something she can brag to her friends about.

My suggestion cost me R80 to setup and R360 for dinner and dessert for 2. And it impressed enough to be bragged about and it got me laid. Soooooooo.... yea.... for some reason that **** worked and I didn't have to pay through the nose.

If you have the money, awesome, make it like the biggest thing ever, if not. Keep it simple and intimate. It's her birthday, so she won't expect it, the dinner is going to be romantic and all but she will just think it's part of the spa day anyway. Then BAM, if she doesn't cry then you marrying a rock or something....

Since you're not that confident, has she been hinting at all? Just curious

I am completely confident that she will say yes and she knows that it's coming just not when.

By saying you put a lot of thought into it, do you mean you asked strangers on a public forum? Just think about it for one second: what would she think if she knew that you did not come up with the proposal idea, but rather a stranger on a public forum did? I can just hear her bragging to her friends at the Hen's Night, about how a stranger came up with this romantic proposal and that her fiancee then took al the credit for it.

I don't have alot of money, so I planned to keep it simple all along. Your response has been the most helpful so far in this thread. I was thinking dinner, and then walk on the beach. Or we could do it the other way around. Nothing fancy, but it's the finer details I need to work on. We're on leave for a week, so I was actually thinking spa and dinner on different days, more of a marathon than a sprint.

Please don't ask him how his relationship ended up...

You are entitled to your opinion, but you are just trolling. I am not looking for someone to plan it for me, this is just research and I will take ideas that I think will fit, and ignore the lame comments from the bitter people out there. Move along if you have nothing to contribute.

All I was trying to do was show appreciation to someone that was actually trying to help as opposed the losers tha have nothing positive to contribute. The responses here are starting to make me lose faith in the the myBB forum.

No proposal is going to be absolutely unique. Get off his back, at least he's making an effort.

Walk on the beach would be good, just make sure it's a safe area. A variation on this (if you have good friends/family) would be to take her to dinner and have someone setup a picnic with dessert on the beach, with candles, a picnic blanket/mat and her favourite dessert.

Fwiw, I just got engaged two weeks ago, good luck with yours

Keep telling yourself that. Having to "research" this on a public forum is lame. I feel sorry for her already. Good luck, Mrs Sideways. You're gonna need it.

I believe the traditional place to propose in Durban is the Point. At Sunset.

Or a nice romantic stroll at Lagoon Drive.

Congrats on your engagement. Thank you for your input.

Not sure if you're serious or being sarcastic. Durban central after dark is not my idea of romantic or even safe.

He's not always sarcastic, he has to sleep some time...
