Most simply:
           kekkon-shite kureru?
          = marry-doing give-to-me?

Here's a traditional, somewhat romantic one:

cho^shoku no miso-shiru wo tsukutte kureru?
= morning-meal's miso soup <object> making give-to-me?
= Will you make my breakfast miso soup?

[Beware, some smart-alek girls have been known to plop down a bowl of miso
               soup the next morning in answer to this particular invitation.]
