    So myself and my OH are together over seven years.

    I'm seperated but not legally seperated or divorced and planning to do that in the next year.

    I know my OH would love to be married and also know that if I was to wait, I'll be dead before it happens.

    We are not fancy people, and it we were to get married, probably it would be me deciding it. I'd be all for a holiday in LA, get married there and have a party at home, but I'd be the one proposing it once my divorce comes through.

    HOw does that sound to you guys? no traditional proposal, just a confirmation of a long commitment, a nice ceremony, and a celebration with family after?

    If you know you both would like to be married, and you also know he's unlikely to ask, it makes absolutely no sense not to.

    Go for it, and good luck.

    Brilliant, I wish more ladies did the same, equality and all that is a two way street.

    One of my best mates got proposed to in Las Vegas by his OH, it's a great story.

    Go for it sounds like a great celebration for both of you. For you to finally have your divorce and previous times behind you, and then start new with him...

    Do whatever ye like to do when it comes to celebrations, big, small, away or home just remember it is about ye

    Isn't it going to be 4 years time before your divorce will come through so you're talking about this happening in 4 years time? That should give enough time to play the party in any case!

    Hi OP,

    I know you state no traditional proposal but would you not consider holding out until next year and doing it in a leap year?
