Ladies... Would that be an acceptable proposal? Why or why not? Do you have any "proposal requirements" for your future husband? Would you ever be the one to propose? Why or why not?
Guys... Have you given any thought as to how you might propose to your future wife? Did you like the way the guy in the video proposed? Do you have a better idea? Would you like it if your girlfriend proposed to you? Why or why not? Do you think a guy should ask the father's permission for his daughter's hand in marriage or is that too old school?

I have not given it any thought. I liked the way the guy proposed, because she could have freaked out. I do not have a better idea. I think that it doesn't matter who proposes because of you love that person then it doesn't matter. I think it is way to old school to ask the father's permission.
I haven't given any thought because it's not in the near future. His proposal could have gone horribly wrong. What if she was so mad that she said "no." He would of felt dumb and it would have been a n awkward flight back to the airport. Asking a girl's father for permission is an old fad, you shouldn't have to ask.
That was an acceptable proposal. If she didn't want to say it (after she did), then she could have said "no no no no no" or something like that. My future proposal had better be a story worth telling (or the guy will have do it right the next time. Like in the movie "The Bachelor"). The guy should ask my father's permission before asking me. It's not only respectable, but non-cowardly.
No, I have not really thought about how I would propose to my future wife. The way the man in the video did was pretty creative and really cool. Tell you the truth I wouldn't like it if my girlfriend proposed to me because that's just weird if she would do that and its not right. I think asking the father's permission is the right and respectful thing to do.
If the man I really love asked me to marry him, but first asked my dad for permission, I would take it anyway he wanted to do it. I know some people that did it was worse than this. I have some "proposal requirement" but it not major. I don't care how he does it, as long as he truly means it. The man in the relationship is always supposed to be the one to be the one to propose. Although, I do know one couple that they both proposed to represent that the both really wanted this to happen.
That would be an acceptable proposal. It was a very unique proposal. When my future husband proposes to me, I want it to be unique and special. It would be cool to have an awesome story to come out of my engagement. Although every girl dreams of an amazing proposal, it really doesn't matter as long as we are in love and happy.
I think that was a clever way to do a proposal.It was definitely not an ordinary or cliche proposal.I want my future proposal to be unique in it's own way something different and out of the ordinary. I would never propose to my boyfriend NEVER !
That proposal is totally acceptable! I loved it! My future husband must have a cute proposal and it has to be over the top. Guys should most definitely ask the father for permission no matter what, that's tradition and that's how it should always be.
This was an acceptable proposal. This couple now have a great story to tell friends, family, and maybe even their kids of how he proposed to her. I definitely want a guy to propose to me instead of the other way around. I also want a funny, cute proposal like the one in the video. The guy should ask my father's permission before he asks me.
His proposal was acceptable. The way he planned the proposal was unique and special. I can clearly see the look of shock and excitement written across her face. The guy in the relationship should be the one to propose and not the woman. Also, the guy should ask the father's permission for his daughter's hand in marriage. Asking for the father's permission is never "too old school."
The way Ryan Thompson proposed is definitely original. It's an acceptable proposal because any proposal is acceptable. Even though I would never want to be proposed to in that way, it worked for Ryan and Carlie. The only "proposal requirement" that I have for my future husband is to catch him popping the question on film. I don't think I would ever be the one to propose, because I love the old-fashioned way of a man asking the woman.
I think there are many ways that you can propose. Some are creative, while others are more romantic and normal. I don't have a better idea right now, but I am very creative and when it comes time for me to propose, I'm sure I'll have something just as creative. I don't think I would like it if my girlfriend proposed to me, just because it is a little weird. It is not normally the girl proposing to the boy. I do not think asking the father's permission is too old school either. I think that asking for the father's permission is only right and should be done.
This would most definitely be an acceptable proposal. Unique and thoughtful, what more could a girl ask for (besides a big ring)? I hope my husband thinks of a creative way to ask me to marry him; however, I would be just as happy and likely to say yes with the traditional down on one knee way of asking. I also strongly believe that a man should always ask for the father's permission before asking for his daughter's hand in marriage. If dad doesn't approve then more than likely the daughter shouldn't marry him anyway!

No, I haven't given it any thought. It's not in the near future, so no thanks. The way he proposed was genius. I don't think it really matters who proposes. If you love each other that much, then go ahead. It is acceptable to ask the father's permission.
I liked the way the guy proposed . I do not have a idea. I think that it doesn't matter who proposes.But usually the guy will propose to the girl.Ya Dig

It's a nice story to tell in the future, but I would have been scared out of my mind. I think that men should be the one that proposal to the girl. I don't think you should have to ask her father for her, but it's nice if they do. When I'm asked to be married I would like for him to get on one knee. I'm not going to be picky about how I'm asked because I'll probably be happy no matter what.
The way he proposed was definitely original and definitely something I wouldn’t want done to me. I would have panicked and wouldn’t know what to do. When my boyfriend proposes to me I want something different and unexpected but nothing crazy like this. I want to be surprised and shocked but nothing that would go from panic mode to complete happiness and joyful. I would never propose to a guy I think it is his job to propose and the girls’ job to plan the wedding. I think my boyfriend will come up with something creative and a big surprise.
This man knew his girlfriend well and they both obviously like doing adventurous things, so this was an acceptable way to propose to her. It may have not been as acceptable for a different girl because of certain likes and dislikes. For a girl to propose to a guy is unusual, but not unheard of. My mom asked my dad to marry her and he said yes, and it didn't affect their love or his manliness at all. I think it all depends on the couple and what will work best for them. I doubt I would ever ask the man to marry me though. To me asking the father is not a requirement, but it would nice to know that he did.
I've have no thought about it. I do not have a better idea. I think it all depends on the guy if he wants to ask the father's permission.
That proposal was very original. I am surprised the girlfriend didn't freak out, cause girls are usually all scared and annoying. If I was planning on getting married, I would do a crazy proposal. Fortunately, I'm not planning on it, because I plan to live like Charlie Sheen.
I thought this was an awesome way to purpose! When you are truly happy with someone anything they do, no matter what you'll still love them. I don't have any proposal requirements I just would prefer a creative way about doing it. I would probably not be one to propose just because I feel a man takes longer to realize the bigger picture and that I would need 100% before. I think a guy should ask the father before getting married but then in a way I do think its too old school. Your father has always been the number one man in your life and by accepting a man that is going to fill that spot should be approved by your father.
I havent really given it any thought about how im going to propose to my future wife. The way the guy did it in the video is acceptable, except it could have gone terribly wrong. But i cant think of a better way to do off of the top of my head. I wouldnt mind if my girlfriend proposed to me, because you dont hear of too many girls doing that, so it'd be cool.
I think it was a great way to propose! It was cute and sweet to me. I would not tell no body my secret requirements :)
I haven't gave any thought to how i would propose. I liked the way he proposed. I don't know if i have a better idea. A guy should definitely ask the fathers permission to marry his daughter.
No, I have given any thought at all about how I would propose to my future wife. The way that this guy in the video did was pretty cool and really creative. I think asking the father's permission is the right and respectful thing to do. I would dislike it very much if the girl proposed to me it is weird and I would be confused.
