Marriage Proposal Words: 25 Things to Say When You Pop the Question

Proposing isn't about saying the perfect thing. It's about saying the true thing — out loud, to the only person who matters. These help you start.

Opening lines

There are some questions you save for the right person. This is mine for you.

I had a whole speech planned. Then I looked at you and forgot all of it.

I was going to wait for the perfect moment. Then I realized — you are the perfect moment.

I've thought about this day for a long time. I want to make it real now.

Before I ask you something I've been wanting to ask for a while, I want you to know why.

The middle — say what you feel

You're the easiest decision I've ever made. And I want to keep making it for the rest of my life.

Of every version of my future I imagined, the only one that ever felt right is the one with you in it.

Loving you is the closest thing I have to a religion.

You make me a better, calmer, braver person — and I want to spend every day trying to do the same for you.

I don't need a crystal ball to know what I want. It's this. It's you. Every day.

The question

Will you marry me?

So — will you do this with me? For real, forever?

Marry me. Please. There's no plan B.

Will you spend the rest of your life answering 'we' instead of 'I'?

Will you be my person, officially, in front of everyone, for always?
