Phrases for seeking marriage permission from parents

[macbrendan]

Alright,

I know this topic has been sort-of covered previously, but I am still needing some help.

I am looking for useful phrases/sentences that I can say to my girlfriend's parents, seeking their approval to marry their daughter. I know けっこんさせてください, for example, but I need other phrases such as:
- I will look after her my whole life.

- She makes me very happy, and I want to make her happy too.

- I will make her smile everyday.

Or anything else along those lines. Anyone got any help for me?

Cheers,
Mac

Mac,
It just so happens that a fellow forum user wanted to write a letter asking for the blessing of his girlfriend's father to get married. The discussion in that thread will I'm sure be of great help to you. Check it out at; http://www.japanesepod101.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3411
