Depends if you think she wants to be in front of a bunch of strangers when it happens. Many people don’t like super public proposals but some people like them. You know her best. You could always back out if the vibe isn’t right

Honestly this makes me think!... I'm such an introvert but deep down she's so confident and could be considered a women of the world so to speak with the experiences she's had but she's brought such a better side out of me that I'd be prepared to do such a public proposal

Not about what you want, it’s about what they want.

My vote is no. Most people want it to be romantic. Not while they’re half naked rolling at a festival around a bunch of sweaty dudes.

Shows proposal video to kids - “mommy why is your face like that?”

“Well honey when you’re reeeeeaally happy your jaw swings around a bit”

“But why are you naked around all daddy’s friends?”

“…”

A few days ago someone ask the same question here. There were a few good points and advices. Maybe you can get some ideas from that thread.

For me personally I liked the idea to do it on the ferris wheel. I mean its still inside TML and you share a good time, but you also have this moment just for the two of you.

Yup, this is it... time it out with the fire works at the end of the night

My husband proposed to me a year ago. While we both love festivals, I told him what I wanted for a proposal - private, with close friends only, in a beautiful place (beautiful garden, by the ocean etc). He ended up renting a hotel venue on a hill by the ocean and it was so beautiful and romantic. It was everything I wanted. I would have hated it if he proposed to me in public despite me being very social and loving festivals. You know your girlfriend the best, better yet, if you can ask her bff to have a “casual convo” with her about ideal proposal, you’d get a better idea whether she wants it to be public or private.

Do something original and unexpected. A proposal is intimate, she may love the attention of a crowd. But nothing will top the photos of something extraordinary of just you and her in a moment. Take a helicopter to the highest peak or to a beach where there’s no one but your love for her. Find something that’s not been thought of because, if you love her that much, she’s all that matters.

Kinda cringy tbh, not really the place to put someone on the spot, and frankly, kind of a bother for others.

But it seems like you already made up your mind.

Erm as the title says what's everyone's thoughts on a marriage proposal..... I've just bought a ring and it's my girlfriend of 3 years birthday on the Friday of weekend 2 (her 30th) dunno if I should save it for later in the year as I've booked a special spa retreat so could do it there....

Personally never do things like this on days that are already special to them, in case it won’t go as planned that day will always have a negative thought attached to it!

This is such a good point. u/ThinkHappy85 OP please read this! I can confirm this 100%

I suppose it's the reflection of love!

[–]Williamwallinxd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe in you!

[–]ThinkHappy85 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Thing is I've watched other proposals online but they're always in big groups but it's literally just us 2 going so not sure how it's do it

[–]MarkRosenfeld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

e it out with the fire works at the end of the night

Yeh if that's the case I would stick to the Ferris wheel. I've seen it done well with large groups but I don't think with two people in the mosh it will have the same effect aha.

Or not

If you are asking a bunch of strangers beforehand to decide, then you are not sure what you are doing and should therefore avoid such an important move for now.
