In English it sounds kind of creepy, but a pretty good try

The grammar is correct, but it would be a little creepy to ask someone to marry you like that.

Thanks, guys.
In fact, I came across the phrase in a movie titled The Lord of the Rings.
The original sentence is :
Aragorn: You said you'd bind yourself to me forsaking the immortal life of your people.
Arwen: And to that I hold.
Aragorn would have felt creepy on her then?

The Lord of the Rings takes place in a different time period, so they use English that is a little bit different from normal English. In the movie it sounds natural, but saying it in real life would sound creepy.

Oh, I understand. It was silly of me to try to learn practical English with that kind of movie. Thanks.
