<p>If you made an romantic proposal, then ask for 嫁给我好不好？ This is same for 你愿意嫁给我吗.
If you are too familiar with each other, and want to do flatly, just say 我们结婚吧.</p>

<p>All can be the best way under their particular circumstances.</p>

<p>你愿意嫁给我吗？ Very formal, ritualistic. </p>

<p>和我结婚，好吗？ 嫁给我好吗？ Bookish. People write that in letters.</p>

<p>嫁给我算了 This is what guys (who think they are not up to the standards) say to their long-time girl friends who are still waiting for Mr. Perfect. It's like saying, "I'm not perfect, but don't let prudence ruin the best things in life." </p>

嫁给我算了 sounds very informal and it should not be used unless the couple got used to these style of talking. (Some girls like it formally happened while some might not...)

That's what guys say to their classmates in the summer before they graduate.

@PeteC. You are right. Be careful using this phrase. It is for older people whose are done with film scripts and sentimental scenes. It's the kind of thing Bror Blixen say to  Karen Dinesen.

The explanation of `嫁给我算了` is a little misleading. "I'm not perfect, but don't let prudence ruin the best things in life." sounds not bad, even, a little romantic in English, but, `嫁给我算了` implies "you see, (I bet) you can't find a better one than me." Unless the listener would potentially accept such wording, it's not a good idea to say that.

算了 to resign to something less. But the tone is very informal.

<p>So, not to look to far ahead. (Okay, not to look to far ahead at all). I'm interested in how to say" Will You marry me" I've read "你愿意嫁给我吗？“    “和我结婚，好吗” and “嫁给我好吗？“ Is there a clear "best" way to say this? </p>
