Wow, congrats PB!  I kinda liked Toxies thing with the roses.  Maybe you can have 11 people (friends/family would be nice) each bring her one rose (not red...maybe white), then you come in with the 12th (only yours would be red and have the ring inside the rose.  She will undoubtedly smell it (have the rock sticking out) and as she realized what she's looking at...go down on one knee and tell her with all your friends and family as your witnesses you would like to offer her your hand in marrage.  Make sure you have something romantic (dinner reservations for 2) planned for right after with candles and a romantic ambiance.

If you want to really surprise her and catch her off guard, find someone you know (that she doesn't know) and set up this scenario. Go out have a great dinner and pretend you have something VERY IMPORTANT you want to ask her. Make sure the dinner is at HER favorite place to eat (meaning a semi formal place) spend the money and ask her a very important question pertaining to .................whateve r you think is important. The idea is to create speculation of the question being popped.

After dinner you need to go someplace where there is a vending machine (snack, drink) and make sure the person you know is there with the ring. As you approach the vending machine, that person will beat you to it so that he can place the ring in the retrieval area. Buy whatever.............but then present the ring and pop the question.

If you do it right, you can have the friend hide a video camera in a jacket and record the event.

Mine was simple, I asked by beautiful wife at sunset at a the tidal basin of the Jefferson memorial (my favorite) down on my knee I talked to her about how important she was and how much I loved her and thankfully she said yes, we then drove home to a hot summer night and fireworks (it was july) in the air and walk down by the river, it was really nice and now any time we drive into DC we see the Memorial and it acts as a reminder of "our night".


sorry sappy... :)

Not bad....
Although I must admit that I skeptical about loosing a very, very expensive ring in a vending machine. But I see your point there. Good idea. thanks.

It does sound very romantic and unforgettable.  I wish you the best of luck in your proposal (take a deep breath...don't be nervous) and I wish you a long happy life together.  :)

I could never ask it for such a big crowd. Guess i'm a pussy. Afraid of denial, who knows... Maybe with the right girl.
I like cheri's idea though, if you do that it shows you got guts or really love her. Make it something special though, so you both will always remember it.

Good luck.

ok set up can be complicated but this is something i was thinking about.  Tell her that you want to do something special for her since she is having a rough week or whatever might be happening to her at the moment.  Tell her that this saturday you want her to have a "spa" day and that you two will meet up later for dinner.  In the morning when she wakes up have a small gift waiting for her.  Anything that she likes, some type of trinket.  Then with a note let her know you love her and that her ride to the spa will be there soon.  Introduce the limo.  In the back seat another small gift/treat.  If she loves peanut butter cups buy some, or if she likes choclate covered strawberries use that.  Make it seems that this is her day to be pampered.  Once at the spa, she gets the massage etc.  The limo picks her up and low and behold another small gift/letter.  She should be kinda hungry by this time so when the limo drops her off it will be at say Nordstroms or some nice store.  There you will have a personal shopper there waiting for her.  She'll show her to a room and there will be a light lunch and a note saying that she has a personal shopper there courtesy of you and that she has picked out some items for you to look at.  Make sure the shopper knows her style before hand and if money is a lil tight explain the situation.  They do this sort of thing so it's not a super weird request.  Ok so she finds a dress that she likes, and is ready to go home.  Once again the limo and a little gift/note.  in the note tell her that you hope she has enjoyed her day and that you look forward to seeing her tonight.  Let her know to wear her new dinner dress and that the limo will pick her up at "x: time.  Once she gets in her place,make sure some candles are lit, soft music, aromatherapy you know what she likes so use it.  Again a little gift or treat.  Dinner time rolls around and the limo comes, now instead of another gift in the limo, you are there with her favorite types of flowers.  Go to dinner, a place that is her favorite, or the first place you told her you loved her.  eat, drik, be maerry and and then go back to her place.  take her inside and have another little gift on the table.  tell her to open it.  This gift will be empty.  When she turns around with a look of confusion she'll see you on your knees with the ring box open in your hand.  At thsi point tell her that this is one gift you wanted to see her open, then confess to her about why you love her and the whole proposal.  Its complicated, its difficult to execute, but it shows tremendous effort and that's the way i would have done it.

Migs, I welled up a bit on that one :)




Playboy, here is an easy one (but still nice) if you're a bit lazy and don't want to set the bar of your marriage too high w/Migs' proposal ;D :

While she is at the gym (make sure her workout partner knows what's coming so she can make sure your girl is listening)  make announcement over the loud speaker, "Attention gym members.  My name is Playboy and I am in love with blah blah.  She means blah to me, blah blah blah.....  And then propose.  Then walk over to her and get on your knees and ask again and put the ring on her finger.  Oh yeah, have some flowers too.  Have someone film it.

Post by: Original Sin on September 14, 2006, 03:23:09 PM
I had a very similiar instance, you guys my have studied together Migs. 
The most romantic and amazing proposal I ever saw was this;

Dan (The Future Groom) went and placed a note on the kitchen table saying that there was a special dinner planned for the two of us and I would have to gather a few items listed on the note before i could meet him.  The first note told me to go upstairs and check out my dresser.  Inside was another note that described which outfit he wished for me to wear and then told me to go down the street to our local wine shop.  At the wine shop he paid for a very nice bottle and left it their with another note. 

When I picked up the wine the next note directed me to a flower shop where again he purchased a really nice bouquet of flowers and another note.  To make a long story short I had several other places and items to pick up and then meet him at the restaurant.

At the restaurant he reserved a table for us in the garden.  The final note said there was one more item hidden behind the gargoyle by the fountain.  I went over there and looked behind the gargoyle and could not find anything.  When I stepped back to tell him that I couldn't find anything he was gone.  Actually he was down on one knee with a ring in his hand.

a word of warning though.  I said yes because there were many people watching but when we got home in private I had to tell him the truth and I would not marry him.  Then and still now I am not the marrying type of girl.  Bad girls don't get married. 

Besides some backstabbing manstealing b*tch might try and take him from me.

what can i say, i'm a romantic at heart.  But i will say this, after all that planning, she better not ask me about any of the wedding plans!  Actually there were somethings that i want if i ever get married, but for the most part i don't really care about the center pieces, colors, band or dj stuff.

Well I don't own a Jaguar, so I can't be that bad  ;D

1.) Many  failed relationships
2.) Bad Girl occupation, definitely not the girl you take home to Mom and talk about work
3.) Hurt a lot of Guys / Gals
4.) "Played" with a lot of Guys / Gals
5.) Unlike most women I can "play" without the emotional attachments (sex is sex if its fun its good)

Actually when I do find a man that I am deeply intrested in and it might get serious I push them away and push really hard.  I just can't seem to do the relationship thing at all and I am tired of sitting on the street crying because it didn't work out.  Seriously jaded I am so I push and hurt them instead of getting close.

BAD GIRL  >:(

1. join the club everybody does
2. a job is a job its what you do not who you are
3. again who hasn't
4 thats what youth is for and I bet I have been worse
5. I have references that can speak for my abilities..:)

MY 2 cents is you put up a wall and have a act but like most people you try to shield your true heart because at one time or another you did not and got it ripped out and shown to you so instead of making the jump again you have pushed sex over caring and naked over intimate and now you fear giving up control for fear of losing who you became and really you just need a person stronger and better at dealing with your issues..how far off am I?

Nah they do...It's there...think back when was the instant you "feel" for that person, or fondest memory. The way that person laughed something they sad that stuck with you..it could have even been a fight...or just an occasion.

Just find your comfort level, and don't memorize anything, the smooth lips sail the ships...

I was thinking of heading out to the beach. I have a close friend with a cottage near the water out there. I was going to head up there a day early with some parchmont paper I bought. I was going to burn the edges of the paper making it look like an old scroll. I was going to right her a nice romantic poem letting her know how I feel about her. I then was going go by the beach and have the bottle half buried looking like it just washed up from the water with the scroll inside sealed tightly. I then was going to go back up to the beach the next day with my girlfriend, walk her on the beach and sort of guide her towards the "washed up bottle". I then would ask her to open it and see what it said. As she finished reading it I would then drop to a knee and pope the magical question while my best friend video tapes the whole thing on his cam corder hiding in the bushes. What do you think? Good? Bad?

I then was going to go back up to the beach the next day with my girlfriend, walk her on the beach and sort of guide her towards the "washed up bottle". I then would ask her to open it and see what it said. As she finished reading it I would then drop to a knee and pope the magical question while my best friend video tapes the whole thing on his cam corder hiding in the bushes. What do you think? Good? Bad?

that is a great idea.  I had an idea that involved the beach.  I would take her to the beach and have a "tent" made on the beach.  It was basically the poles and qhite mosquito betting for the top and sides.  Inside a small firepit and pillows all aourd.  Either copper laternes or some other type of lighting like the paper lanters you see around.  Have a dinner made there and pop the question.  But your idea is great and since it comes srtaight from you is more special

An amazing idea that would make me cry. 
Only thing I would change is have your friend bury the bottle just before you arrived and guard it.  Somebody would probably pick it up for the deposit if you left it overnight.  She is a lucky woman.

How about this. It takes some preparing but I think it's worth it;

You take her on a surprise all inclusive vacation to a sunny place at a resort at a beach. Because you love her and liked to surprise her. It doesnt even have to be expensive. Turkey for example is a very cheap country, most hotels are 5 star all inclusive, at the beach and EVERYTHING is taken care of. Cocktails and food is available and will be served to you anytime you want, while you're sunbathing on the beach.  8)

On the 3rd day or so after relaxing for the first 2 days, say the hotel has an 'treasure hunt' arranged and you'd like to try it. There is a map, you have to follow clues etc. Then, as you approach the X spot, you both start digging and take out the treasure. You open the box and there it is! A beautiful princess cut diamond ring, carefully picked out by yourself back home. You get on your knees for her and propose!
as she sais yes, you kiss and hug and walk her down to this all set up table ON the beach with a candle and a bottle of champagne. It's sun set, you drink and have some appetizers and celebrate. Then, you take her back to the hotel for another surprise. A Gorgeous gown is in a big surprise box, ready for her, you tell her to open the present and when you both showered and got dressed you take her out to the most excellent restaurant in the island. There, you celebrate again in style.

........................ ..sigh.................. ......... ::) :)

Oh yeah, and then you guys get back to the hotel.  ;)

After that it's exploring the island and enjoying the luxury and pampering. Until you guys get back home, tell all your friends and family and the whole celebrating starts all over again.  :)

I'd drop the camcorder idea, make it between you two. Also be cool if you made it a picnic, then while walking for a spot you go to the bottle and later you already have the drinks or whatever, or vice versa

haha just imagined what if the bottle got picked up and found by someone and then the next day your walking all over the place looking for it,, make sure that thing is put somewhere safe

I know. I thought about someone trying to snag the bottle or someone placing it in the trash. Thats why I want my best friend there hidding in the bushes just to make sure that does not happen. I find a nice spot that seems pretty secluded so will see.
I like Stella's idea two about the 12 friends or family members each holding a white rose and mine is red. Simple, yet effective.

what was my skipping story?

the one in which you skipped on your way into the restaurant before you told "fred"  (you might have used a different alias) you loved him.

How did you know there was a proposal if there was no proposal? ???

you guys had already talked quite extensively about marriage right? so what's the point of all the roses and limos and other shenanigans?

A case in point is original sin's post . . . dude comes up w a romantic proposal and gets a "yes," but what's the point? if y'all had already talked about it, why hold it against him?

did you guys pick the ring together? a friend of mine caught a bunch of sh!t for not "proposing" after his fiancee picked out the ring herself.  he works 18 hour days (surgeon in training), and he picked the ring up one day at lunch and had it in his glove-box when he picked her up for a late dinner. 

he told her that the ring was in the glove-box and she threw a fit and wouldn't go to dinner . . . so he dropped her off and came over to my place and I told him that she was just being unreasonable and we ordered a pizza.  She's actually kinda cool, and so I told him she would come to her senses. and she did.

No, he picked out and bought the ring himself (a buddy of his was with him).  He did a great job, it's simple but beautiful.  When he finally gave it to me I asked him if it was real.  LOL  Was that rude? ;D

No, not really.  My ex gave me a beautiful ring, simple, pear shape, about 1 1/2 carots I would say.  It was tiffany set but with only 4 prongs (didn't look like it was very secure).  I took it to the jewelers during a re-mounting sale and picked out a nice mounting that 5 prongs and a safety band, anyway the guy took my ring and cleaned it, started looking at it through his loop and then took me aside and said "you know this diamond isn't real right?"  I was mortified, but kept my cool and said "oh yes, I just love this ring and really want it set in that other setting". 
I went home and flipped on my fiance'.  It wasn't the fact that it was fake that had me wound up, it was the fact that he tried to passed it off to me as real.  I should have realized then...it was just the start of the lies yet to come.  >:(
