About to propose. Starting to panic!!

Option 1.

I wanted to tell anyone and everyone who would listen when we got engaged so it will be nice to have the whirlwind of asking her, celebrating and letting people know then going on holiday still in the bubble of excitement.

As for asking her parents. Do you live nearby? If so ask if you can pop round or if not give them a call. Sounds like they are keen on you asking her anyway.

Good luck.

Thank you DrBuffles,
I keep thinking about option 1 and how it really is perfect etc
I guess it's just the nerves kicking in, it's so soon but so far at the same time.

I know Hannah will say yes, I have no doubts about that but it's still ?

I live about an hour away, but I'm actually with them almost every day at some point, and I will be with them for 2 nights next week.

Is it bad of me to want Hannah to tell them? Obviously I wouldn't let her but still.
Unfortunately Hannah found out because she is nosey ?

Thanks again,

Jack

Good luck and welcome to hitched.

Go for number one. Make sure you can find it though, maybe a practice run before you do it would help.

Thank you H3len I've already practised it about 12 times in the past week (I've got 2 months off because of a month of holidaying and then preparing to move 5 hours from London)

I appreciate your input and thank you for welcoming me to the Hitch forums ☺️

Well be sure to come back and tell us what she said. The parents if you get along with them I would go down the road of asking them if you can ask her to marry you. That way they feel that you have respected them. I would anyway and I have daughters.

I will definitely be back to tell you guys and girls.

its even better now Hitched has an iPhone app so we can plan our wedding on the go ☺️

I'm going to try and ask them next week as we are all viewing our new property which means I can bring it up whilst looking around.

its more telling them I'm marrying their daughter not asking, I believe as Hannah isn't their possession I shouldn't have to ask but it is courteous lol

wow that sounds ignorant of me :/

Don't worry about being too young My partner proposed when he was 19 at my 21st birthday! We'd been together for nearly 4 years at the time and everyone knows that we're in it for the long run!

He did talk to my parents before proposing. The way he did it was by telling them he was planning on proposing rather than asking for their permission - maybe something like that would suit you so that they still feel included?

I also think option 1 sounds just beautiful! What could make it better is to have a friend hiding in a tree with a camera to get it on film! Our proposal was such a shock that I forgot most details so seeing the video was a big help

Best of luck to you!

I vote option 1 too! It sounds perfect! A proposal, I feel, should be something personal and it sounds just that :-)

My OH proposed on my 23rd birthday when he took me away to a beautiful log cabin in the quietest of places! Was absolutely perfect :-) my dad sadly passed away some years ago, however my OH discussed it with my sister/mum and showed them the ring which I was really happy about!

i agree with the above post, no one is to say you're too young! Age is only a number at the end of the day, and if you both feel ready then there is nothing to stop you! :-)

look forward to hearing how you get on! :-)

No matter where you are, what is the location.Just bend down on your knees, hold her hand and propose her. you are her world nothing else matters.

Good luck. All the best...
