It may be better to work backwards – think about how you will phrase the actual question. ‘Will you marry me?’ is the traditional way, but for some relationships this may seem a little formal – words such as ‘How about it then?’ accompanied by a displaying of the engagement ring may be just as effective. For others who prefer greater formality, ‘Will you do the honour of becoming my wife’ may be more appropriate words. Alternatively you might want to plan to ask her with out saying anything at all and just follow it up with “so, will you?” (suitable, for example, after a waiter serves the ring to her as dessert).
Knowing the final sentence should help to pre-empt what comes before it. Perhaps a piece of romantic poetry will sit well with the question, or instead you may want to explain to her how much she means to you and how you want to spend the rest of your life together before jumping in with the final question. Whatever you choose, allow for some flexibility in what you are going to say - don’t have to have a speech mapped out word for word. Having just a few key points in your mind to help you say what you want will be enough. Above all, keep the proposal natural!
Finding the right words for the proposal may not come easy, but keep with it and we're sure that they will come to you soon enough.
