There is no right or wrong way to ask for someone's hand in marriage. Proposing to the one that you love is always romantic and even the most fumbled proposal will be fondly remembered in the future. There are however, some ways of proposing that are just so much better than others. If you are considering asking for the hand of someone that you love, well then you just might be interested in knowing which ways are the best ways, to propose marriage to that oh so special someone in your life.

A little touch of romance is always appreciated in a marriage proposal, and don't think that romance has to be expensive, because it really does not have be. Romance simply takes a little consideration, and caring, to occur. You can create a romantic atmosphere simply by showing her that you truly do care about her. If you can add in an element of surprise, then you can create a marriage proposal that will be virtually guaranteed to warm her heart, each and every time she thinks of it.

Is there a place that holds special memories for the two of you? It might be the spot where the two of you first met, or the place where your first date occurred, perhaps where you first told her that you loved her. If you can recall a spot that is important to the two of you then this would be the perfect place to propose. Get down on one knee and let her know exactly how much you love her. Ask for her hand in marriage. If you can remember the date that you met, then counting backwards to that date, always adds a very romantic flare to the proposal. "It was two years, twenty-one days, and four hours ago that I met the woman that I hope to spend the rest of my life with....and that would be you hon. Will you marry me?"

Now that is a proposal that shows exactly how important your meeting her was. That meeting date was important enough for you to remember the smallest details of it,  and because those small details are usually very important to her, this is one of the best ways to propose marriage. It is a proposal that is gushing romance.

If you are pretty sure that the person you are about to ask to marry you, will say yes, then consider a public proposal. Proposing to her at her work place, favorite restaurant, gym, beauty parlor, sporting event or at a family gathering is very romantic, It is another one of the best ways to propose to your lady. When you are in a crowd, and you propose to her, she becomes the center of attention. This is her special moment, and until she gives you her answer, she is the most important person in the room. Having others around to witness your devotion, and commitment to her, is one of the best ways that you can propose to her.

Use flowers to carry your message to her. Flowers are a wonderful gift to receive at any time, but when they come bearing a wedding proposal, they are a surprise that she will not soon forget. To pull this one off though, you really have to either be the one delivering the flowers, or arrive within minutes of the flowers arriving. Once she reads the card, and fully understands exactly what you are asking of her, then drop to one knee and propose to her once more. Two proposals of marriage are just so much better than one. So say "I love you. Will you marry me?", with flowers, and then say it once again on bended knee.

You have already won the heart of the lady that you love so now win her hand in marriage. Be romantic, be caring, and show her exactly how much she means to you. Propose to her in one of the finest methods that you are able to. Say it with love.
