The Engagement
Popping the Question
Ladies...what is your dream scenario for getting popped the big question, "will you marry me?"
Would you prefer it be a big extravaganza? Something nonchalant?
When I asked my wife to marry me I didn't do anything that would seem special to outsiders but to us it was perfect. I took her out to our favorite fancy dinner joint in a cute little old fashion town that we once in a while would go to. There was a little waterfall and stream in the middle of the downtown area and after dinner we walked there and I asked her in front of that. It just felt good.
I have a couple buddies right now who are considering popping the question and we were discussing how they should do it. We were wondering, what would a girl ideally want if she could choose how it went down?

Proposing at a sport's game with everyone there to share in the moment of "amazing" would be cool. There is just something about having a couple thousand people clap for you and smiling at you because of this very special moment in your life - it just seems right. Chances are, if it comes to this, I will already have made the lifetime commitment in my head, and getting engaged is more about sharing that joy with other people.
Then again, any proposal that seems very personal, including going to our favourite restaurant, or recreating a first date or something, that would also work. I just want someone to show that they have put thought into how to do it.
When I was younger I had a bf propose to me in a car while we were driving down a road, and I was crying and having a shit day and he said "I know what will make you feel better!" and then proposed. No ring, no speech, no presentation no nothing. I felt ripped off. Although I said yes, I didn't consider ourselves engaged. Nice to know that those were his intentions, but I was not going to run home and tell my mom "hey mom, my bf proposed to me in the car because I'm having a fight with my friend".
But everyone is different. It's an intensely personal thing.
My suggestion for your friends that are going to pop the question - go through the best friends. The best friends will know all, or will be able to spy for you and figure it out.
Hope everything turns out well for your buddies.

Personally, I don't have one. I have a few reasons why... It's for two main reasons. The first is that I'm not at a point in my life where I can imagine me and marriage in the same sentence, lol.
The second is kinda a principle-of-the-thing. I don't believe in having an ideal/dream proposal scenario, because it just seems like something that should be so personal to the members of the couple that you could only dream about it when you were dreaming about that person. I feel like there are some girls who have some stock scenario and are looking to plug the best fit man into that scenario, and that just annoys me on an elemental level. I feel like that's missing the point somehow.
