Let me just say, as a woman, who has been proposed to a couple of times, how you do it and where is really important. Sorry.
1. speak from your heart. (she does know to expect this right? you aren't popping the question without having EVER spoken about marriage right? because if you've never talked about it, then she will probably say no. don't use corny lines, don't rip off a movie, don't try a hallmark card, speak what you feel. this is hard but truth and honesty are real turn-ons in this scenario.
2. make sure she is comfortable. does she love the beach? bring a blanket for her to sit on and another for her to wrap herself in if it's chilly. shucks, bring a bottle of champagne, chilling in a wicker cooler for if she says yes.
3. consider her needs. the beach is nice but not if she hates the beach. a resataurant is nice but not if she hates being a public display. what would she want?
4. ask her friends. They can keep their mouths shut if you don't give them enough time to spill the beans and promise she will call them after you ask. Her friends will know if the ring will fit, if she will like it, and how she wants to be proposed to. seriously, I have a small file on all my best girlfriends.
5. Good luck. breathe deep. If you truly love her and want to spend the rest of your life together- then this is the easy part. don't stress it!
