The show off Leo is in me to Paul if the answer is going to be yes go for it she'll love the down on the knee bit too though so may be you can organize a game after dinner , I don't know charades or guess the name of the movie' Indecent Proposal ' or something and get on your knees and she won't twig for a minute that you are not just playing the game, have you got the ring ??? do something flashy fireworks are good,fortune cookies and set hers up with proposal in it, just something different, would have loved my hubbie to be this romantic we were at the greyhound races and lined up to get our dinner at the buffet and he said 'Well we might as well get married ' I'll never forget it so would have been nice somewhere more romantic or some thought put into it , either way I wish you and ? all the very best in your life together Love Lara

oh paul how romantic, and ill be on hols so i wont know if shes happy yes or angry yes cos you did it with an audience, anyway you decide it will be right im sure , you know her best, will it be long engagement ?

Paul, my ex fiance proposed to me in front of all my friends and family at my 21st birthday do, everyone knew accept me, I remember saying only a few months before hand after seeing someone on tv proposing to their gf in front of friends and family that if he ever did that to me I would kill him and that if he did ever propose to me that I would want to be just the two of us, but he didnt and now hes my ex (not for that reason though :-) ) Karen Ps good luck in what ever way you choose to do it :-)

Wow Paul thats great!! I think if you know she will say yes you should definitly do in front of friends if you're unsure ask her at the end of the night when it is just you two!! Good Luck xx

Paul - definitely at the dinner party - if she says yes it will be lovely and if she turns you down all your friends will know it's HER with the problem and you will look like a saint, lolol!!! Good luck. ps - does that mean it's over between us ??

You know your intended ,so do it in whatever way you think she would like !! I would have been mortified if my hubby had asked me in public as am very prvate person. BUt go with what you know of her & the very best. Shirley

My son did it in a restaurant - he got down on one knee, bless him and everyone clapped.The waiters were waiting to bring in a bottle of champagne. He knew she would say yes cause she'd been talking about it for ages:o))))))))))))) no that she knew he was going to ask her then ,it was a complete surprise. But as Clare says,be sure she's going to say yes!!!!!! Good luck:o)) jude sarf wales

Oooh how exciting!!! It's hard to say as we (women) are all different. I'd do it in whatever way you think SHE'D like not how YOU would! lol Let us know love becx

Aaah Paul, good luck. I'm sure whatever you do will be perfect to her. A girl doesnt get proposals everyday! Well I dont anyway :0(

In front of the friends sounds good, but i want all the romance stuff and everything when im proposed too! good luck!

Whatever you do Paul, I hope it turns out beautifully for both of you. Best of luck. Deanna

Dave had bought the ring, he popped the question in private, down on one knee etc, then took me out for dinner. It was lovely xx

me included lou.lol lolxxxxxxxxxxxxx(:

Good decision Paul.... Don't forget to buy that bottle of bubbly aswell honey!!! for when she sobs yes...... Good luck once again honey, Susie xx

louise i know, the police have phoned and asked me not to do it as the suicide rate will shoot up! lol! not got the ring yet, im a last minute kind a guy! love the idea of a posh box/cheap ring combo! lol! i think the consensus is split. so im going with at the dinner party on one knee!

I would go private

Definately in front of friends after dessert but before the coffee and mints!!....lol.. Best of luck honey....have you bought the ring yet? Love Susie xx

Don't mind how you do it - just make sure you're down on one knee, buy a Tiffany box off Ebay and stick your cheap Index ring in it!! LOL!! Anna

Paul don't you realise that hundreds of ladies are throwing themselves off Beachey head now devastated that they can't get a chance with you lol

Paul, I'm 65.........but I can still remember ROMANCE. Do not ask in public, she may feel a bit embarassed. Also, it will rob her of the thrill of telling people herself. It's an important moment in a girls life. I hope we are talking Marriage her?? Deanna
