What is the Proper etiquette for proposing marriage?

In: Weddings and Engagements, Manners and Etiquette

Traditionally a young man would go to the girls father and ask for his permission/blessing. This isn't done much anymore; however it is still very much appreciated by most parents.
Once you have her parents blessing, then you buy an engagement ring, take her to a romantic place, get down on one knee and ask for her hand in marriage. If she says yes, your in good shape, if she says no ... keep your receipt for the ring.

Answer

There really isn't any etiquette for proposing. Just get a ring and ask.
