Proposal Speech/Song

AdrenalineXI

What's your opinion on the guy doing a personal speech or song to you when he proposes and making you stand there, knowing the obvious is going to happen, but not getting down on one knee and actually asking you for a few minutes from when you know it's going to happen....?

Thanks!

My FI got down on one knee said why he loved me (unrehearsed speech), & then asked me to marry him.

Ok, I'm all for a big, romantic gesture ... but at the same time, I'm not into big speeches. That's just me, though. When picking out greeting cards for DH, I will immediately dismiss ones that have "too many words".

If a girl would love some huge speech, then I think it's fine. Proposals should be done with what the person being asked would like, even if that's not what the person doing the asking is into.

I didn't vote. While I wouldn't like a long lengthy speech, my H did say a few sentences before he dropped to one knee and proposed. I loved that and it did mean a lot to me esp with him just moving out of state for his job, etc.

FI is a planner, so he of course had a speech all prepared...well when the time came for the proposal, he got down on one knee, told me he loved me and blurted out the question. 

I think you can plan and plan and plan, but until you're in the moment, you have no idea where it'll take you!
