I'm sitting in the audience of a live recorded show for SLCN TV at this moment. Maybe you can contact them for a suggestion for a possibility to propose on one of their shows.

Dude... it's simple. Look her in the pixels, tell you that you want to be hers forever.

No song and dance. No scoreboard proposals. No wedding rings hidden in the creme brulee.

Just be a man dude, capice?

Whatever happened to man-dudes?

I have to agree with Alvaro. You don't need some big thing.Neither does she. You don't need to prove or show the world anything. Just you and her.:) You will know when the moment is right.

do you want to borrow my dungeon. :p

If you are to the point of asking her then you know what sl place is most important to her. And that is where it will have the most meaning. For my special lady it was our home, but for you, you should know already.

Do it somewhere where there are no witnesses.

A friend of mine was proposed to in RL in a way that I found incredibly romantic. First, he left a note at home telling her to go to her favorite boutique. When she got there, waiting was a wrapped package--a gorgeous dress, shoes, stockings: the works. The girls there helped her get dressed and gave her an envelope. It directed her to the next stop: a florist. There she was given a dozen red roses, wrapped beautifully with a gorgeous bow. She also received another envelope, and it was off to the jewelers where she was presented a fab diamond necklace--and another envelope. Off to a nearby restaurant, where she was seated alone, given a glass of champagne and was serenaded by a private violinist hired for the occasion. Finally, her boyfriend arrived, dropped to one knee, and asked for her hand in marriage. The ring matched the necklace from the jeweler. ;)

I'd go for bad metaphors, personally. Like so....

"A cowboy rides a lot of fillies in his day...but there comes a time when he finds the right one...the one his saddle seems made for..."

look...I mean...

"...you swing a lot of bats. Measure the weight, balance, how it feels in your hand. And then you find it...that perfect stick of wood, like it's made for you and you never want to let it go..."

" ...just like your glove. I mean, sure...you can shag flies with any old piece of leather. But that one glove, that you've shaped, and oiled to a soft, pliant perfection. That one glove, that is uniquely yours...and yours alone..."

Do you know what I'm saying?

"It's like your favorite spinner-bait. It sits there in your tacklebox, surrounded by all those others you've tried and discarded. The one, when the fish ain't biting that you can go back to again, and again, and you know...deep in your soul...that it'll be there for you, and will get you that largemouth you can almost taste up under that log..."

Dang it, I'm trying to ask you to marry me, woman!


But that might not be how you roll, so if you must...perhaps a variation on:
[delivered at any quiet, intimate location]
/me tucks a stray lock of hair behind your ear, and lifts your face to his.

/me's eyes soften as they meet yours, a mixture of love, happiness, and....trepidation?...as he falls into your gaze.

My love. You are my life, my world, my reason for being. I cannot imagine a day without you in it. I am yours heart, mind, body, and soul. You would make me the happiest man alive if you would be mine too. Please...marry me.

/me holds his breath, heart beating out of his chest, his face lifting in a nervous smile, awaiting your answer.

How about..

Put the proposal in your forum signature line. Then see how long it takes her to find it. :D

Oh man....OK, I'll bite. Would you, please, expound upon this?

And please...vote for Willow. Send it to your groups. Send it to your friends. It will be your good deed for the day. You know you need that good karma.

Comments from the peanut gallery aside, I suggest you find a nice romantic spot where you can take lots of pictures, someplace that looks nice and has lots of (non-erotic) poseballs. Search for Romantic or Romance or Propose and there are lots of spots that are suitable. I know it sounds hokey, but if you take a lot of pictures, you can use them later for things like invitations and profile Picks, and you can frame them and hang them up in your love nest when you move in together. Chicks dig stuff like that.

Look in my profile Picks for an example.

It's not complex. Don't commit matrimony. It may not attract a mandatory life sentence but it will sure feel like one.

Get a frigging "get down on one knee " animation.
Plenty of freebie rings out there.I suggest a matching pair of nose rings.
At the service you can then say "With this ring I thee sniff".
The honeymoon of course is important.There is a new place opened up called "The asylum" I hear it's a hoot.

Oh my - I cannot imagine any lady not loving this approach. The romantic in me just swoons.

Jason, you don't need a different, special location. Think about some place(s) which hold significance for you and your loved one. (I see you mention the SL Botanical Gardens in your "picks" - there are tons of lovely spots to found there. :))

The important thing is that you are there with your love, and that you're asking her to share your life.

OK, if you have to do it then go along to the Moonglow Ballroom. Have a meal, a dance, play a romantic song on the grand piano, ride on the double seat roundabout, wander the gardens using the kissing balls, then return to the main dance floor, and overlooking the shore, use the proposal balls.

I proposed to my ALT. She said no. So i shot myself...several hundred times...but the land was set to no damage and I had to go collect all those bullets. I think there are still some up in the sky. Overall it was a very bad experience and I'll never do it again.

I'm surprised she made it through the treasure hunt. Think if she'd given up at the first step and the poor sap was at the restaurant.

Way too elaborate.

Funny you should ask that...lol. Two years into the marriage, she caught him cheating on her. I swear this is true...the guy's new gf (we'll call her Amy) had a bf she was cheating on as well (we'll call him Bill). Well my friend ended up calling Bill to tell him she had discovered the affair, and today she and Bill are married with two kids, while her louse of an ex is married to Amy with an army of kids. Kismet? Karma? Fate?

Edited to add: while the second hubby isn't that much nicer than the first, the second proposal wasn't as romantic.
