Whimsical

My character: He is a good social bard/rogue who is the inspirational leader of the party. Excellent Diplomacy and Oration, and is the master of ediquete and manners. Worshipper of God (a PC paladin that ascended to godhood three campaigns ago.) Athough he is the type of character that could have dallied with a unending line of women, he has not. Think Neutral Good Paladin.
My character's intended bethrothed: She is a Lawful Good cleric of God. Honrable, devoted, caring. A fine proper lady. Takes care of the party but loves to to beat on nasty monsters with her mace Overkill or with her spells.
Summarized history: my character joined the adventuring party months after they started. She was the party leader. After establishing myself with the party, I requested from her (then each member of the rest of the party) to be the party leader, which they have granted me. After adventuring nonstop for several months we are currently enjoying a break in a large city where we can finally buy and sell equiptment and enjoy the fruits of their labor. He has not indicated any special feelings for the cleric yet or made any romantic overtures, so this request should come as a surprise (although I have cleared it with the player first.) Since he has just realized that he wants to be with the cleric for the rest of his life, he will propose marriage. The player of the cleric has indicated that the cleric would seriously think about it, but my character needs to do it right.
What I need is help doing this right. I want to do this in a traditionally romantic manner. I want to have the words and methods ready for me to roleplay this all the way through. So, I need the Mrs. Manner's-approved method of courting.
My current plan is to buy an expensive engagement ring (yes, I know that this is a very recent tradition, but I believe that it will be expected by everyone there) and say somthing like the following...
"We have been through a very trying time during this last year since I have joined our group. During this time I have witnessed you at your best and at your worst, and I have become very attacted to you, although I haven't shown it because I didn't want to allow myself any favoratism in my leadership duties. But I have come to a point where I just can't hold back my feelings any longer. I love you very much. You are a very beautiful woman who has inspired me to do great things since I have known you. I have been in awe of your integrity, your strength of spirit, your boundless capacity to care about others, and your noble soul. The truth is that I never want to be without you, and I want to be your husband, and I want for you to be my wife. Wll you marry me?"
Ok. I like it. It seems really good to me. But could it be better? Did I forget to mention something important? What else should my character do on this day of proposal? If she accepts to be engaged with my character, what should I be doing during this courting period? What could I be doing that would make this engagement special?
In my mind, my character is the kind of person to be able to execute this kind of thing flawlessly. But I am not my character, and I don't want to put it to a dice roll. So, please help me bring honor to my character charisma and ediquette when I roleplay him.
