Do you wanna marry me? Make a perfect proposal!

Since you are already planning to ask your loved one to marry you in Venice here are some tips on how to go about it in Italian! While booking this experience, start doing some practice in italian, the language of love! The simplest, most straight forward way to ask someone to marry you is to say "Ti amo, vuoi sposarmi?" meaning I love you, will you marry me, and pronounced Tee amoh, voy spoh-sar-mee? Or you could say Ti amo, mi vuoi sposare, which is basically the same and is pronounced Tee amoh, mee voy spoh-sar-mee.

If you want to be a little bit more poetic you could aim for "Ti amo, vuoi passare il resto della tua vita con me" meaning I love you, will you spend the rest of your life with me and pronounced Tee amoh, voy pass-sare eel reh-sto del-lah soo-ah vee-tah con meh? You could also embellish your proposal with some compliments or other phrases to oil the wheels! Instead of Ti amo, meaning I love you, you could say Ti amo più di qualsiasi cosa, meaning I love you more than anything and pronounced Tee amoh pe-oo dee qwal-see-ah-see coh-za.

Sei la donna dei miei sogni, you are the woman of my dreams, pronounced Seh lah don-nah dey mee-yay son-nyee. Or if you’re asking a man, you’d say Sei l’uomo dei miei sogni pronounced Seh loo-oh-moh dey mee-yay son-nyee Voglio stare con te per il resto della mia vita, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, pronounced Vol-lee-oh star-eh con the perr eel reh-stoh del-lah mee-ah vee-tah.

Use any of these phrases and you will be one step closer to living happily ever after! But if you really want to push the boat out here are two final, slightly more complicated but highly romantic suggestions. Sei la mia migliore amica e il mio unico vero amore. Ti chiedo di accettare il mio amore, il mio nome e tutto quello che sono. Fai di me l’uomo più felice del mondo diventando mia moglie. Which means – You are my best friend and my one true love. I ask you to accept my love, my name, and everything that I am. Make me the happiest man in the world by becoming my wife. You are a woman asking your boyfriend? Or a man asking your boyfriend? Or a woman asking your girlfriend? No worries, Italian language is the perfect way for any kind of love!

Vorrei che i tuoi occhi fossero la mia prima luce al risveglio e il profumo della tua pelle accompagnasse ogni mio passo, per sempre. Sposami amore mio! Which roughly translates as – I wish your eyes were my first light on waking and that the perfume of your skin accompanied me with every step, forever. Marry me, my love! Indelible, like our love! Or maybe too sweetie-sticky? Just ask and we will find the perfect words for you!

With a proposal like that who could possibly refuse?! Well if the answer it will be a "no, i am not ready", no worries, we promise you we will get drunk in the worst bars in Venice, so we can go through that with bottles of italian wine rather than crying on my shoulder!
