Inside: Marriage Proposal Poems.
Being proposed to is a moment that a woman dreams about her entire life. And if the guy is sweet enough, it’s a moment that often excites his brain too. There are so many ways you can go about it. From large-scale surprise parties to a simple one-on-one dinner, from writing in the sky to hiding the ring in her dessert.
With so many different options, you never really know what you’re going to get. Even if you did have some grand idea that you’d been planning since you were a kid, that idea could have gone right out the window as soon as you got to know your future wife. The truth of the matter is that each proposal is going to look different for everyone.
Some people might have a Star Wars theme, others a classy shindig with all of your friends and family, heck maybe even both! It all depends on the personalities of the people involved.
However, there is one way to propose that is both timeless and can customizable for each potential bride-to-be…and that is a Poem Proposal!
Poetry is a way to get out all of those messy thoughts and feelings into a clear and concise display of your affection, so there is no better form of art to include in your proposal than this. The different kinds of PoemPosals (I promise I won’t use that word again…it’s awful) vary from cheesy, to downright tear-jerkingly beautiful.
Whichever you decide on will be depended on the type of girl your wife to be is. Does she like things to be more light-hearted and funny, or deep and emotional? I’ve created a list of Marriage Proposal Poems to Make her Swoon to help you get some good ideas for your own proposal!
But first, let’s discuss a brief overview of…

Here is the first list of Proposal Poems. I’ll also be giving proposal tips and tricks in each new section so make sure to look for those! Here is Proposal Tip #1: Hire a videographer for the actual proposal and a photographer for afterward. This is a good idea because while you’re down on one knee doing your thing, the constant CLICK CLICK CLICK of the camera can really be a moment ruiner!
1. Short but Sweet
I like you.
You like me.
Do me a favor,
And marry me
I don’t like to shop,
I don’t play games,
But it would be so cool,
If we had the same names.
-Unknown
2. Marry Me
Step for step
Stride for stride
Together—our lives
Side by side.
You’re my soulmate
My lover, and my friend.
All I ever want is you
Until the very end.
-Unknown
3. The Next Step
We’ve been together for so long;
We even share the words to our favorite song.
I think I’m finally ready
To take that next step.
Forgive me if I stutter –
You always said I need help.
Sweetheart, will you be my wife?
-Natasha Niemi
If Gratitude were enough,
I’d fill the oceans with mine for having you
If laughter were enough,
I’d make you laugh till your last breath,
Just so I can hear that beautiful sound for eternity
If dancing was enough,
I’d waltz and foxtrot with you till your feet hurt
If tenderness was enough,
I’d then spend the rest of the day massaging those feet
Just so I can take the aching away
If life were enough,
I’d trade mine for yours in a heartbeat
Just so you can live to fulfil all your heart’s desires,
As all I want for you is your never-ending joy,
Your gentleness, coyness, kindness
And if love were enough,
I’d love you in and out of time,
As I love you from this day onwards,
I will love you beyond my final breath
I LOVE YOU…
-Sharon Chira
5. Valentines Day Proposal
Nervous, anxious, praying my love I express.
Girlfriend blubbers saying I’ll marry you – yes!
Parents very happy we are getting wed,
Bridegroom joyful chappie banns need to be read!
Joyful girlfriend smiling, seals love with a kiss
Planning wedding styling no longer a ‘miss’!
Booking summer wedding, bridesmaid will wear blue,
blissful marriage heading darling I love you!
-Jan Allison
6. Roads
7. Meant To Be
When I met you,
I met my destiny.
My one true love,
You’ll always be.
If you feel the same,
And I truly hope you do,
There’s something very important,
That I want to ask of you.
Instead of “you” and “I,”
Let’s become “we.”
I’m asking you to share my life,
Will you marry me?
-Unknown
8. Elope?
In the early hours of the morning,
you asked me to marry you;
I pushed it off, taking it as a joke,
but you leapt up from our bed anyway,
and I protested, saying there were no rings in sight,
and yet, you wrapped paper, so delicately, into a ring for me.
From the dim-lit room,
I saw you kneel on one knee to ask me.
I swore you were mocking me,
but you persisted that we elope,
and even then I couldn’t take you at your word.
-Cautious Rain
9. Haiku
Our two hearts entwined,
A lifetime of love awaits…
Will you marry me?

Don’t be afraid to keep a little paper of it in your pocket to read from if you must. It’s better than the alternative!
10. Love’s Proposal
At the edge of our galaxy,
under the violet light
is where I found you.
I waited til the Sun shut his eyes
And the Earth grew silent.
Then with my heart on both knees,
I proposed to yours with a ring made from
the petals of your favorite flower.
“In your eyes is where I’ll sleep.
In your heart is where I’ll dream.
In your smile is where I’ll live.
Promise me the eternity of an eternity
spent in your arms. And I will promise you
the immovable sky will come to envy
the way the stars have left her side
and have chosen to live in your eyes..”
-Jeremie
11. Hearty Wishes
You are so beautiful,
As if right from my dream.
I’m very lucky that you are in my life,
To my thoughts, you give positivity.
Now soon be my wedded wife,
You are a blessing in disguise.
You are so mindful,
As if here to stay forever.
-Atul Kaushal
12. Forever
It took me awhile
But I finally asked you on a date.
The years have passed by,
And we have grown together.
I feel in my heart
That we are forever.
Each night that we are apart,
My heart is pierced with a burning dart.
Please tell me
That wonderful things last forever
By agreeing to be in my wife
For now and always.
Marry me.
-Natasha Niemi
13. A Lover’s Pledge
Throw down a blanket and sit beside me
On dew covered banks and soft grasses.
A lifetime’s tomorrows I’ll spend with thee
Each new day, the last, surpasses.
There’ll be music and song and love ever after
And people will smile when they see
The love that we bear, the joy and the laughter
And the children that rest on your knee.
Will I still love you when day turns to night
And the leaves rustle dry on the ground?
Will I still hold you when green turns to white
And winter gales rage all around?
Mountains may crumble, the seas roil and tumble
But ne’er will my heart’s fire diminish.
While fainter hearts cool and lesser men stumble
I’ll be there still at the finish.
Be my love now and take now our vows,
To be faithful and true to each other.
Each other’s by vow, we’ll be, then as now,
A husband, a wife and true lovers.
-M.I Pernar
14. You and I Are Meant To Live Together
When I met you, I felt I met my destiny.
My true love, you’ll always be.
If you feel the same, and I truly hope you do,
There’s something very important, that I want to ask of you.
Instead of “You” and “I,” let’s become “we.”
I’m asking you to share my life, will you marry me?
-Unknown
15. Will You Marry Me?
No, I can’t keep this a secret no more
And no, since my heart has stopped conflicting
With doubtful thoughts
Lately in my prayers, everyday every night
I say two things to God
The two things I needed most in my life
That is you, that is love
For perhaps without you, I knew no love
Oh, and there’s another thing I asked of God
Last night with such strong hopeful desire
So that He’ll open your heart and say ‘I do’,
Right when I say ‘will you marry me?’
– Fara S
16. Let’s Settle
I get on your nerves, and you get on mine,
But we get along great the rest of the time.
Your parents don’t like me; mine aren’t crazy about you,
But both of us know it so that’s nothing new.
I’m a bit of a slacker, and you’re kind of a slouch.
Sometimes we’re both over-inclined to grouch.
When you look at things this way, I’m sure you’ll agree.
Who else would have us without a warranty?
In spite of these facts, you’re still my honeybee.
So let’s settle for each other; say you’ll marry me.
-Unknown
17. I Prayed
I prayed for the Lord to bless me
With someone special for me to love,
A woman to have and cherish,
A faithful treasure from above.
Then soon God sent you to me,
Someone to join my life.
A blessing to have and hold forever,
A friend, mother, and wife.
So God sent to me from heaven
The answer to my prayers
And changed my world forever
Through the abundance of love we share.
– Jac Judy A. Cambell
18. Say I Do
You’re the sun in my shine,
The spark in my plug,
The heart to my beat,
The day to my night,
The twinkle in my eye,
The hot to my spicy,
The yin to my yang,
The soul to my mate.
Need I say more?
Now all I want to hear from you,
Is to say, “I do.”

19. Stuck in Glue
I never thought
I would feel this way.
I’d laugh and mock
At the words
The love songs say.
Now it’s like I’m
Stuck in glue.
I can’t do anything
But think of you.
Will you please be my wife
So I can get on with my life?
-Natasha Niemi
21. You Scuttled My Ship
Bereft of love all my life,

Still, you entered my life,
And now I need you as my wife.
Proposals, you can get many,
Yet you say you will be my wife.
You scuttled my ship.
-Atul Kaushal
22. Will You Marry Me?
It’s been a while and now i know
That i can never ever let you go
From the first time we met and your first hello
I knew you’re the one where my heart will grow
You are my dream..the angel from the sky
Who showed me what life is and how I can cry
How I can have someone who I can always rely
To be there forever and never say goodbye
The one I can hug when I am in need
The one who give love.. that no one can exceed
The one who’ll shed tears …if my heart ever bleed
The one I have wanted..to share my life with…

And be the person… who will always understand
I want to grow old with you..i’m down in one knee
You’re the only one I’ll ask…”will you marry me?”

23. Love Is The Reason
Love is the reason why this day
Was chosen by you both
To begin your lives together –
And love is the reason why you both
Will give with all your hearts
For the good of each other.
Love is the reason
That together you will become one –
One in hope,
One in believing in life and
One in sharing the coming years.
