In "Amadeus", how did Mozart propose to his wife?

In Amadeus, Mozart proposes to Constanze by asking her to marry him backwards. The scene presents the proposal as part of a playful “backwards game,” in which words and phrases are spoken in reverse order and then decoded by Constanze.

The 1984 film portrays Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as mischievous, childish, and frequently outrageous, contrasting his crude humor with his extraordinary musical talent. During the scene, he turns ordinary flirtation into a string of backwards jokes before finally expressing his love and asking for marriage.

This is a fact about the film's dramatization, not a securely documented detail of Mozart's real-life proposal. Amadeus was adapted from Peter Shaffer's play and deliberately blends historical figures with invented scenes and relationships. Mozart did marry Constanze Weber in Vienna on August 4, 1782, but the movie's comic backwards proposal should be treated as cinematic storytelling rather than established biography.
