writes: HiDo you have any suggestions for a very special proposal of marriage?I know my girlfriend for 3 1/2 years and we are in a very happy relationship for nearly 3 years. It was her asking me if I would like to be her boyfriend the day after the annual ball at university. She invited me to it as she was helping with the decoration and had free tickets.Now it is my turn to propose to her. I know she is expecting something very special. Till a few month ago she often used to complain that I would not pursue her. So I have to confess that I feel a little under pressure and I'm a little worried that it won't be special enoug for her because she would have expected more... I know this is stupid of me because I know she really really loves me and she is just waiting (a little impatiently) for me finally proposing to her. But I'm just not sure if she is expecting something very special or not and I'm just very nervous about it.Well but I know for sure what she would not like. She wouldn't like it in publicity (especially if there would be a lot of foreing people). Also no internet should be involved. It should also not be on the ball where we will go again (that would be special, but she will earn her free ticket again).What it should be like: it should be a surprise. It should be romantic and it can involve some adventure. We should a least spend the evening together till I will pop up with the question. It sould be special.Do you have any suggestions, please? Thanks a lot!

Have a ring with you already (perhaps she would like to pick it, but go past some jewellers shops and get a good idea - nothing worse than a proposal without a ring or with a ring the woman doesn't like!). Personally, I would like a one carat solitair in 18 carat gold - but as you're not proposing to me, I suggest you ask her discreetly. Taking her to a lovely restaurant is a good idea because you can work the evening around that. A lovely, fancy restaurant, not too quite, not full of business people, in a lively part of town. Tell the restaurant beforehand that you intend to propose once the champagne arrives. Can they seat you somewhere a little away from the main crowd? Restaurants love proposals and the waiters will be particularly attentive. Order a good wine to start, then as you order the main course, order a nice bottle of champagne (pink champagne for romance - Laurent Perrier Rose is your best bet), After you order, once the champagne arrives and is poured, say your piece (love you so much, can't imagine life without you, everything I've been looking for etc). Get down on one knee and open that sparkling box. She will accept, you'll then finish your champagne, ask the restaurant to order you a taxi to take you to the hotel you will have booked (best suite!) in which you will have a beautiful bouquet of flowers awaiting her arrival (when you book the hotel beforehand, they will arrange the flowers and add them to the bill). And the rest of the evening is in your hands. The thing to remember is that when you tell people - the restaurant and the hotel - that you are proposing, they will be so helpful and make your life alot easier. Best of luck (better start saving your money then eh?!) X

Take her out to dinner at a big fancy resturant. Buy extra flowers. Order wine and ask her before they bring the salad.
