Think more in the line of what day is it harder for her to say no to you on.

Christmas day! Awh...........:)

New Years eve might be good (thought a lot of people do it), a whole new year, leaf, etc.

Imagine if your anniversary WAS christmas day.... :eek:

IMO it would be more romantic to propose on a day where she wouldn't be expecting it. Plan something really special on a Saturday, any Saturday, and then propose to her in some romantic way. Her surprise will be worth it because she won't be expecting it on that day Christmas or an anniversary she may guess what you're up to.

Anniversary IMO, was married on my anniversary too.

if anyone proposed to me (fat chance of it ever happening though) on my birthday, christmas, new years eve or valentines day i would say no - how bloody cheesy is that - it show no imagination errrghhg

I would absolutely HATE if my BF proposed one of these days. Make an ordinary day special. But if you do decided to do it on one of these days, make sure that you buy her a proper birthday/xmas present. That way you won't seem like a cheapstake.

Where's the "Never" option?

Dammit Ruu, that's not in the poll!

yossarin

atari jaguar option?

if you propose on the aniversary day, then you'll have two reasons to make it important and it'll be easier to remember the date in the years to come.

christmas day can take care of itself - its not like you are going to forget that!

A little off topic, but

Say u met on Jan 1st, this would be your anniversary

but then ye get married on Feb 4th, this would be your new anniversary. Would ye still celebrate Jan 1st as an anniversary?


Yeah, I think Christmas would be good. Theres fvckall else to do! and It'd be a good present. I suggest doin it in the evenin, when things start to settle down

Good luck!

I'd agree with this also, failing that though I think a Christmas proposal could be very romantic! I'm gonna pick Christmas though if you can't wait that long just make your own special day

I proposed on Christmas Eve. She mentioned before it was her favourite day of the year and I always liked it better than Christmas Day or New Years myself. Drove to one of her favourite places (in the snow), went for a walk and proposed. Then I went home and drank half a bottle of whiskey, but that's neither here nor there:D Christmas Eve is good because you can go out to celebrate and have time to yourselves. Christmas Day is busy enough without thinking about an anniversary.

Out of the two I would pick Christmas, but agree with some of the other posters... a random day when not expecting it could be great as well. It really depends on how I think, not when.

Christmas Eve .... simple ... think about it.

thanks for all the replies. well to broaden the scope a bit, my gf is chinese and we are going to china for 2 months from the end of november and going to korea for two weeks half way through, we will be in korea for cchristmas so i was thinking of doing it there. we will go back to china then for new year. so from november 30th to december 15th ill be in china. from dec 15th to dec 29th ill be in korea then dec 29th to feb 1st ill be back in china.

Isn't Leap year coming up? That would be funny! Then tell her to plan the wedding for the next one! Ha!

Have you considered the last day of Ramadan? Could get down on one knee and offer her that burka she's always dreamed of.

Edited to add serious suggestion: If she's Chinese, she's probably not Christian. New Year's is a big deal in China but Christmas ain't. You might be better off doing it on your anniversary or on New Year's Eve or even on Chinese New Years!

I would go for Christmas time, not the day itself, perhaps the 28th when its all died down. I would put the ring it in a Christmas cracker wrapped in the hat with "will you marry me" wrote on it. Thats really cheesy but I'd say she love it. My cousin did something similar with his girlfriend and she loved it. She was so excited and surprised and thrilled with such a different way he proposed. It will be a great story to tell the Grandkids!

PS obviously you have to try let her "win" with the cracker pulling but if you win just tell her she can wear the hat!

PPS yes I'm bored in work and boss not here

Personally I prefer making an ordinary day special. I would have hated to have been proposed to on my b'day or xmas, and especially Valentines day. However your anniversary is a date which is only special to the two of you and is a nice day to be proposed on.

Christmas? Don't be mad. If it has to be one of those two, of course the anniversary, it's a bit of a mushy sentimental day anyway that holds some relevance to you both. Christmas? No way. Maybe it's just me but that just seems like an awful day to propose to someone, not romantic at all.

yeah, definitely not Christmas day or any other special-occasion day. Now, I'm not saying that she will, but if she says no, it'll ruin that day for you into the future ('this is the day i got rejected'). I know two couples who were each going out years and years, yet when the question was popped, the person who was asked suddenly realised they weren't quite sure about getting married... Reality kind of set it.

Sparky

An unsuspecting day tbh.

I said anniversary - that was when I was proposed to and it meant everything to me.

Awwww......how cute are you!

Anniversary day might be nice as it's basically "Let's celebrate our relationship day". You have to throw her off the scent though and give her a fabulous bunch of flowers (she'll think that's the present) and then surprise her later on that day!

nothing could be more romantic to receive proposal than having it on your anniversary. it would mean a lot to me him making that big day memorable.
