Ways to get it wrong
Using the wrong verb
Avoid saying 'casar me' as two words; 'casarse' is a reflexive verb that must be conjugated correctly.
Mixing up 'conmigo'
Never say 'con mí' because 'con' plus 'mí' always combines into the single word 'conmigo'.
A small cultural note
In many Latin American cultures, the proposal is considered a very private, family-oriented milestone, so keep the setting intimate.
