How did you propose?

[SuitedSixes]

I'll be getting engaged somewhat soonish and am stumped for ideas. Guys, how did you do it. Ladies, how were you proposed to. Bonus: Did you ask for her parents' blessing?

I'll go first about ex-wife:

I took her to the fountain at the University of Arizona where we had our first date. I got down on one knee and said something along the lines of, "I don't get to see you often enough to show you how much I love you. I am going to need the rest of my life. Will you marry me?" (Bonus it was in Spanish)

I had not met her dad at this point and did not ask for his blessing.
