You can do it at a fancy restaurant or at home. You could do it on a bench or a mountain top.

Do what? Pop the question. Asking someone to marry you is an extremely important moment, and everyone has their own idea of the best proposal. But most agree that it should be romantic and it should be a surprise. Kneeling is usually a good idea.

Devan hopes her boyfriend Jason will ask her to marry him. Well, it looks like he got the hint. He just wants to get in some practice before he pops the question.

有一件事,你可以在别致的餐厅或者家中进行,也可以让海滩或者山顶见证这一时刻。
这件事情是什么?求婚!请求某人与你结婚是极其重要的时刻,每个人对此都有自己的与众不同的梦想。但是,大多数人都认为求婚应该充满浪漫和惊喜。
德凡希望她的男友詹森向她求婚。詹森对此似乎心领神会。他只是希望在求婚之前能进行一些彩排。

Jason:  No, no, that’s ridiculous. I just dropped a contact. I’m looking for it.

Mason:  Contact, eh? You wear glasses. Were you…are you crying?

Jason:  No! I just got a little emotional thinking about Devan and our future and I got a little emotional, OK?

Mason:  Oh my God. You’re going to pop the question, aren’t you?

Jason:  Alright. You caught me. You caught me. I’m going to ask her to marry me. But you can’t tell anyone, OK?

Mason:  No, no, of course. But uh you can’t…I mean, that’s why you pop the question. It has to be a surprise, right? It’s totally more romantic if it’s a surprise. Right?

Jason:  Exactly.

Mason:  I get it.

Jason:  Good. So I can trust you?

Mason:  No problem, man. You can totally trust me. Now, dude!

As soon as Jeff leaves, Jason kneels and begins asking his chair to marry him over and over. Mason walks in and asks him what he’s doing.

After fighting it for a moment, Jason admits that he is planning to pop the question. He is practicing asking Devan to marry him. Mason is very excited and promises to keep it a secret.

Mason is right – unexpectedness is the key to make it romantic. So, Jason should first break up with Devon. She would be totally devastated, then out of blue, he pop the quiz to Devon.  That should be the most surprising and memorable proposal ever!  On the other hand, this might risk that Devon fail the quiz.  OK, I’m being silly but I can’t help it. What’s the best marriage proposal? This is so like a topic you find in women’s magazines lying around in dentist’s waiting room. I can’t deal with it.

no doubt kneeling is a romantic expression to pop our question but i ithink some other things are very important too. like our words, surroundings, situtaion, time etc. if someone is somebody who is near and dear to us wanna pop question we get the hint before. many people might have experienced the situtaion and they know very well how is it? these are the most romantic moments when someone pop question to you, so it should be romantic and sophisticated in every way. its on us how we make it special for our beloved.

Men should think about this and you girls don’t expect, it won’t be something surprising if you know what you’ve already expected or you might get disappointed when you never get what you wanted it to be. Right? so you girls would better leave it for men, Ok :D

Pop the question , it’s totally new for me. And it’s hard to connect it with proposal if I didn’t read the conversation.


Maybe, Jason can take his girlfriend to a mountain top, and say to her: marry me of fall down?. LOL

When people are romantic and feel like poping the question it is always nice to observe them, they are so nice and sincere at that period of their life. And I agree with those who thinks it does not really matter where it happens. What is really important is to get a proposal from a dude whom you love. Of course kneeling and a dimond ring are also great!)))))
