This got me thinking about how crazy some proposals are. I've heard many stories and seen all kinds of pictures/videos of weird and wonderful ways to propose. Personally I am very old fashioned in many of my lifestyles, as such my proposal would be a very Romantic evening out sort of thing. Maybe on a Holiday to somewhere scenic and beautiful.
So Ladies and Gentlemen of Team Liquid. How would you propose to your partner? Also if anyone has already proposed or been proposed to, share the stories!
Lastly, Congratulations to Geoff and Anna. I hope you have an amazing Wedding and Life together.
Wouldn't want to get a no or force someone to give a no in a public place. Also, I don't feel you need to have strangers be present at such a private moment.
So most likely I would take her out, then go home. Then I would have asked a friend to make my house cliché romantic whilst we were eating, and then ask her there.
proposed to my GF last June, we're getting married this June. We've been together for 11 years now (i'm 32) and the time " felt right "
Sank to the knees while we were on a holiday trip to turkey. Was on a pier at the beach after we had dinner in the evening. There was no one around since it was late so the setting was quite nice.
she did not see it comming at all , neither did her parents when i went asking for her hand , old fashioned style.
Was a good day and i'm very much looking forward to it.

Awesome. A quiet place with a naturally beautiful setting. Sea-side and a Sunset. Very nicely done, congratulations.
Le GF was bugging me about proposing forever, but I wanted to do it on my own time so I had to keep fending her off which would only serve to piss her off every time we talked about it. I made up some elaborate lie about fighting with my mom one weekend when we were supposed to go up to the cottage alone so she wouldn't suspect (I know that doesn't make a lot of sense but the full story takes too long). She got really pissed at me.
Spent all night making scrapbook w/poetry and other such romantic things.
Took her out on the dock at the cottage where we spent a lot of our first summer together (and one of my favourite pics of her was taken), gave her scrapbook/poetry thing, last page was pic of me on one knee with ring, she looks up, sees me on one knee with ring.

GG.
Nicely done. Got to admit I don't think I'd want to propose if my GF was asking me to. Lol.
The dude in the background to the left is like "Whatever, man." while the girl behind Geoff is throwing an uppercut to her own chin and the guy behind her knows what "'s up, son".
I don't know how I'd propose, actually. Gotta think about that. Maybe she'd propose to me first. :o
I proposed to my girlfriend last spring. We were in Korea together with my parents (so they could meet her parents, she's korean), at the moment we were in a hotel in Sokcho. It was the day after my parents anniversery and we went to Seoraksan. After going there and eating dinner nearby, my parents wanted to relax at the hotel, so me and my girlfriend went by outselves in her car to look at some temples and such in the area. After looking at a really nice temple by the ocean, sitting on a hill looking at the sun setting over Seoraksan, I randomly decided to propose. I really had no intention of doing so before hand, so I unfortunately had nothing prepared, including a ring, but the situation was just too perfect to pass up.
I would definitely be more traditional. I would also never do it in a public forum because, as someone mentioned before, I wouldn't want to add any extra pressure to the situation.
I proposed at the end of last year, it was at home after my gf finished work so she would not suspect, there was a trial of rose petals from the front door to where I was, with the ring, flowers, champagne and chocolates. It was quite simple, but romantic and was successful thankfully.
Great picture of Geoff and Anna, they both look really happy. Congrats.
By the time I'm going to propose, I should know exactly what my woman likes, in which case I will do something revolving around those ideas. Great night -> Romantic setting -> proposal.
Couldn't do it in public, for one, it seems unnecessary to put her under so much pressure for a very important decision, not my kind of stuff., I don't want to force her to marry me, or get turned down in front of people like Mr. NBA.

Oh my God, that guy has got to be scarred for life.
I don't understand the appeal or reasoning for guys to ask in public. Personally I'd do it in private, even if I knew the answer would be a yes. Although everyone who's mentioning trails of petals etc etc, doesn't that just come across as really cheesy?

I think it depends upon the girl. My gf had been wanting to get married for quite some time before I asked her, and we spoke about it a lot, as marriage had never been super important to me. The way she explained it to me was that it was a public statement of dedication, to show friends and family that we were going to be forever. I don't think I had understood the extent to which girls focus on getting married, almost every time she would see a friend which she had not seen recently, they would ask when was I going to pop the question.
In most cases, I don't think anything you do will be considered cheesy, but will be seen as romantic. I think you wan't to make a statement, and show that being over the top romantic id something you're willing to do for her.
All I can suggest is not to do a joke-ish type proposal, crappy ring box etc.
