Hello everyone,
I have never posted before.....but I am here often and love reading everyone's stories and thoughts. I wanted to ask anyone and everyone some advice. I am attending the Fresno, CA. concert at the Save Mart Center on September 4th. I have great seats with my best friend/girlfriend. We are sitting in section 1, Row C, seats 1, 2, 3 and 4 we are going with our friends, another couple.
What I wanted to ask everyone is that we are big big fans, obviously, and I wanted to enjoy the show and maybe somehow get her onstage to dance, she loves to dance and is a great dancer and is to me the most beautiful girl in the world =-) I would love to ask her to marry me in the midst of the whole wonderful concert, so it would be a night to remember. I had a dream of maybe having O-|-> while she is dancing to go over to her and point me out and say, "Do you see that guy right there? He says he loves you and wants me to tell you that he would love to marry you and that you would probably say, 'YES' if you heard it from me that he thinks the world of you and wants you to know that. So, will you please say 'YES'?
I would just think that would be the coolest thing in the world. =-) I wanted to ask everyone here a question. I know that it would almost impossible to have Prince actually do this but it would be grand. But I really wanted to ask everyone about ideas, how should I do it? How should I ask her? Give me some ideas and help me? Please =-) Thanks for reading and I hope to hear everyone's ideas. thanks again,

Funketeer -- I DO NOT think it is romantic for another person to tell your woman U want to marry them. I think a woman wants to hear the question from her man not someone else. I think it would be more romantic to get down on your knee and propose during one of Prince's acoustic set romantic songs. Let her hear the words from U....It is about your love for her...NOT PRINCE. I think U are taking the Prince thing to far. This is a memory about U and her...the Prince event connection is nice...but let her hear the words from your lips. Get on Ur knee in public...that is ur choice. But I would not want someone else to tell me my man wants me to marry him...I would want to remember it from his mouth. Just my opinion

I agree COMPLETELY. It would mean a hell of a lot more coming from YOU, not Prince. Is she marrying Prince? And if I was her, I'd be put off guard if Prince told me my man wants to marry me.

Well what if Prince says, "I have someone here who has something very special to tell you", and then I ask her? That would be nice huh? Maybe I can ask someone there if it is at all possible.....but it would take alot of work and communication. I am a musician and I see John Blackwell at the NAMM every year and he also used to play with a friend of mines band back in his college days in Boston. Maybe I can somehow work it out? I just wanted to have Prince involved, he is the master of romance and love songs....just wanted to feed off of the love he brings while singing. ....and no she is not marrying him, but I appreciate the comments....but give me some ideas.....instead of that, I am over that already, I need ideas.....please...thanks...!!!! you guys are great.....

Lovely idea, however, I don't think this will fly with Prince.

But ask her privately when the two of you are together, alone.

Best of luck to you..

Yep. No offense, but even if a message could be gotten through to him, I don't see him wanting to stop the flow of the show so that he and it can be used as a prop in some stranger's fantasy.

When he hits the first chord of Adore, strap on your knee pad, drop down and do the proposal thing from your mouth to her ears.

One of those 7-carat flawless yellow Kobe Bryant "I'm Sorry, Baby" diamond rings would also be a nice touch.

Although I think it's a sweet idea, I don't know how well it will work...I mean you will be in the middle of a concert and even during the acoustic set, it will probably be pretty loud. I know when I am proposed to, I would like to hear and savor every single word. Why don't you take her out for a nice dinner before or after the concert and pop the question there? Or if not dinner, somewhere that the two of you can be alone together?

hmmm... steal the show, and grab P's mic and ask her to marry you onstage. just make sure P isn't behind u ready to put a heal up ur ass

So did it happen? I saw no one on bended knee during "Adore".

I like this idea! You can ask her during the Maceo Parker set while it's more quiet and the lights are low in case she gets embarassed easily. I still like your other idea, too. I would try to find the guy with the bracelets to see if you can get your girl onstage and then I would have a huge sign and hold it up for her to see while she's up there. P might even make a comment at that.

Well this is not gonna happen until the Fresno, CA date. But all of these ideas are great! So tell me with everyone experiences, how do I get her on stage? Give me the insight, any insight you have please =-) Holding up a sign would be great, however I would need to sneak it in before hand, that could be difficult, or maybe if any org'ers could help? That would be grand!=-) Keep the ideas coming and I will do my best that night to keep it romantic and hopefully make it memorable. Thanks again for everyone's help and suggestions. So who is this guy with the bracelets??

There is this guy with arm bracelets that hands them out to the women who get onstage. Someone on the Org probably can tell you more about him than I can. If you can get to talk to him and explain your situation, he just may let your girl onstage. Since you are going with friends, maybe one of them can hold on to the sign for you and if she asks about it, I'm sure they can come up with a creative excuse. good luck and congrautlations!!

you need to ask yourself. don't give up one of the best things to another. also, another would be impacted with karma by performing such an action for you.
