If you want to propose, you may be wondering, “How do I ask my girlfriend to marry me?” If you’re looking for engagement ideas that will have your future fiancé swooning and telling stories about for years, consider these romantic wedding proposals for home or out on the town. After all, you want a guaranteed yes, don’t you?

At-Home Romantic Wedding Proposals
If your girlfriend doesn’t like scenes or doesn’t love getting attention, popping the question at home can be an intimate, private and romantic way to go. One classic proposal tactic is to turn your apartment into a love nest. Sprinkle rose petals from the door to your bedroom where the ring will be found surrounded by candles. Or lead the trail to the kitchen where a candle lit dinner is waiting. When it’s time for dessert reach for the ring instead. If you want to be a little more cutesy, take the petals to a romantic bubble bath. Inside the tub, place a rubber duckie with a ring tied around its neck.

Public Engagement Ideas
Some girls want a public display of affection when the engagement comes. So if you think your girl loves being the center of attention and having a grandiose story to tell, you must ask her to marry you in public. Sometimes the basic get down on one knee bit works. Do it at a restaurant, at a party in front of all her friends, in the park or at a spot that’s significant for the two of you—you could always return to the place you first met. If you go out dancing for a night, ask the DJ to borrow his mic and ask her loud enough for the entire bar to hear. Or if you want to go really big, hire a skywriter to spell out your question in the sky when the two of you will be at the park, beach or in view of the message.
