My fiancee is Chinese and she has an image of American life based on old movies, so. . .

We talked about marriage and I knew it was what she wanted, and I knew what she wanted for an engagement ring. I purchased the ring about a week before the proposal.

I made a reservation for Friday night, March 10, at the restaurant where we had our first date in December, 2020: Bonefish Grill in Gainesville. I told her that we were going to meet my cousin and his girlfriend for dinner; we have done that before, so it didn't seem unusual to her.

I called the restaurant that Friday and spoke to the manager. I got them to reserve the very table that we sat at for our first date. When I entered the restaurant, I handed my phone - unlocked - to the manager. After about ten minutes, the manager and a waitress approached the table with a complimentary glass of champagne, and video recording. At that moment, I began saying what I had planned and then got down on one knee and asker her to marry me. She said yes, I pulled the ring out of my pocket and slid it onto her finger, then gave her a kiss while the entire restaurant applauded.

It was like a proposal from a movie made in the 1930's or 1940's and she was very happy at the end of that evening.

I don't want him to do it in front of people. I'd prefer that it's just the two of us. Not a whole bunch of pictures and people around. I'm very simple.

That being said, I already asked his older sister for permission 😁. Her exact answer was "YES!!! But girl, let my little brother do his job, damn!"

I don’t think I know what I want, but I definitely know what I don’t want. I want it private, not public. I don’t want any Jumbotrons or restaurant dessert cliches. I don’t want everyone to know before me. I don’t want it over the holidays or on a holiday.

I proposed to her in the front hallway of the house I was living in at the time. I had a plan for how I wanted to do it, but that all went out the window the moment I woke up that day.

I wanted to take her to the fountain where we had our first kiss and propose to her there. It was New Year's Eve, so all the pretty lights and stuff were still up. The weather was nasty the entire day though. She called me that morning and told me she was feeling sick. Quite frankly, I wasn't feeling too good either. I suppose I could have come up with an alternative plan, but I'd been putting it off long enough by that point. We were getting ready to go to a New Year's party and I knew that it was "now or never". So if I walked out the door without asking her, I'd keep putting it off. So I asked her to marry me, got down on one knee, and gave her the ring.

Forgive me if it's too strong to say that it "haunts" me in some ways. I would have wanted it to be more special for her. In fact, I even apologized to her recently for how I did it. We love each other, we have a good marriage and a good life together. She's more than happy with what we have, but I wish I'd been more intentional with it to begin with.

To just doing it like one of the dealers I know did and popped round to her place and asked if she wanted to get married then pulled a diamond out of his back pocket

What makes you think you are wife material? Also, ask yourself, do you want a wedding or do you actually want to be a WIFE?

Lastly, a woman proposing is absolutely incongruent with marriage. Marriage is a traditional institution.

Apple1996 · Answer

If a man ever proposed to me I'd tell him to eat shit and to get away from me. Proposals and weddings are just stupid and useless
