Definitely not the feeling you want when you propose. If he`d proposed to me in a language he wasn`t that good in - I doubt I`d have believed it and would have required a confirmation in Japanese.
Tell her you love her and want to marry her in the language that carries meaning for you and for the both of you. That is what matters.

I have to agree with Nyororin here, as I've done the same in English to my fiancee.
However, to ask her father permission, I asked him in Japanese. He does understand english but, I thought it would be more manly if I showed him how much I mean it by speaking his native tongue.
