Hi all.
I've created a new profile, because I didn't want this to get back to my Boyfriend.
We've been together quite a while now, and when we're able (as in when we're allowed to), I want us to get married. I'm not going to get into the whole debate here about Gay Marriage, and whether or not you think same sex couples should marry, so please respect that and don't start one.
In a few months both my Boyfriend and myself will have all our most loved Family and Friends together, for a special event. I think this will be the perfect time to propose to him.
My question is, how do I do it? Do I get down on one knee with a ring? Do I just ask him outright in front of everyone, without any rings or traditional stuff like that? I know it's up to me in the end, but Same Sex Marriage Proposals aren't that well documented, and I'd love to get some ideas.
Cheers,
Tobe Married

I dont think same sex marriage proposals are any different to opposite sex marriaage proposals.

i suggest you do something that is quite public.

perhaps invite a television crew to your house for something completely unrelated and do it live on air. yes a big ask and quite difficult to arrange but then you have a greater impact.

other ideas along that line are:

* make an announcement at a shopping centre eg. "can the owner of car XYZ please come to the reception area ....blah blah blah then go into the proposal" or "we have a little lost man here who has lost his heart, can the person who took it please... blah blah blah".
* go to live theatre/comedy store and get them to get him up on stage for it
* do something at his workplace (if he is out and it's appropriate)


as for the family get together i'm not quite sure. perhaps get a fat-o-gram or stripper or something that makes sure everyone is watching.

i like the one knee and ring idea myself

Don't do it!

I suggest you see an accountant and these people first~

This is a special moment - and just like there are lots of stories about how people came out to their parents or friends, some are memorable and some are awkward.

It sounds like you love him a lot and so therefore my advice is to follow your heart. You know how to do this in such a way that it will mean the world to you and your boyfriend. Just listen to your heart.

I geuss good romance is about finding a connection and meaning in what you do, whether that be your first meeting place or somewhere thats special to both of you. An activity or food or event that sparks a memory of so much more. When you figure out something like that work your proposal around it. I hate predictable but you have to find whats right for you guys. maybe a ring in a champaigne glass or getting on your knee is what works for you.

oh and congratulations!

OMG CM ruined this thread again with his vain beigeness.

Hide the ring in your bum. Then ask him to place your ring on his finger

Ok - I never had any intentions of ever getting married.
But a long time ago- I was very much inlove with a boy. After being together for nearly three years. I woke up one morning to find my entire bed covered in flowers while I lay in there sleeping.
He was perched in my window frame- with the morning sunlight beaming around him.

His goofy smiling face was the second thing I noticed after all the flowers.
" What the fuck have you done?" - I asked quite irritated. Cos I hate it when people rip out flowers.

His answer- was to laugh at me gently and say- " I want to be with you forever. Will you be my husband"

How the fuck could I say no

Hmm, its strange you have to post this in a public forum. Perhaps you're not ready for marriage? These things comes from the heart, its not about outdoing the next couple . Its whatever you feel for your partner and how you want to express it.

Good Luck!

It should be something personal to the both of you.
