Proposing in Esperanto

To the E-o speakers on the list:
Is there some kind of official formula for "popping the question" in
Esperanto? I've been rereading Jordan's "Being Colloquial..." book, and it
occurs to me that I haven't seen something equating to the volition involved
in "Will you marry me?" It seems that the future tense would be too remote,
whereas using "cxu vi volas..." lacks a certain elegance.
Not that my girlfriend would *understand* if I said anything to her in
Esperanto besides "Kio estas tio?", but nevertheless...:)
Thanks,
Josh
