I'm not intending on getting married anytime soon, but when that day happens I want to do it in creative way without going too far.

I thought of putting a ring in a Creme Brulee or even creating some elaborate Punk'd style prank.

I'm thinking fortune cookies may be a good idea. How about the fortune being something like, "One who loves you will ask for your hand in marriage."

Ladies, how would this hit you? Romantic? Corny?

Although I haven't proposed... It obviously depends on the women and the traits she loves you for... Use those, and it's a given - if she does love you of course :)

I still have our shot glasses from when my husband proposed at Bahama Breeze and we had some Patron. It wasn't overly romantic but it worked lol

I always like it when they do it at sporting events and concerts. I've seen it happen at a couple concerts and a couple hockey games. Billboards are cool too.

Yeah when I do it I want it to be semi-unique and special. I don't like the billboard or sporting events thing, to me that's cheesey.

I wouldnt' want her to feel cornererd, or pressured.

Reminds me of American Wedding. Except you'd be following your sweetie around for a while waiting for a diamond encrusted turd.

dress up as a circus clown with big hair, big shoes, red nose and assless chaps carrying a bloody axe. just come home, walk in the door and don't say anything to her. walk right over to the couch and sit down without so much as a peep. when she starts trying to make small talk, hoping you haven't gone completely nuts and is becoming visibly worried... just ignore her. the blank, emotionless stare is key here. as her concern turns to panic - jump up and start swinging the axe around wildly while screaming "they are eating my brain". as you have her backed into a corner, crying and begging for her life pull out the ring as say "honey, you know i love you... will you be my wife" - but the key is to keep the axe raised so she see's the fake blood on dripping down it so she is still not really sure if you are going to take a swipe at her or not. if she says "no" just go with your emotions at this point.

i took her hand, looked deep into her eyes and said "look, in spite of what other people keep telling me, i think you are good enough - here is your ring and by the way, where's my dinner?"

honestly, there was no ceremony. we both wanted to be together forever and we both knew that. we saw no reason to cheapen our relationship and what we have by hiding rings in a desert and pretending the moment is a surprise. :) .... and if it is a suprise... then its far too early to consider marriage. its not exactly like bringing home a kitten or something.

When I propose I will show up on a white horse wearing a knights shining armor.

I will get off my horse, get on one knee and say.

...Long live my queen. Please do me the honor of being my wife... :)

that was me at 190 and 16-17% bodyfat. today i am 250 and about 20% bodyfat. hopefully, by march i will be able to get back down to around 12-15% and see signs of my abs again :)

my wife is a vegetarian mostly... so when she starts cooking, i shrink to nothing.

And why I watched that show at the time, I have no clue. I'll have to blame it on being young and my folks. :)

Now this could be a knee bender...


Hopefully she's swooning and not planning to land you with one. ;)

JR...I was so glad that I wasn't the first to say that. I wanted to say it earlier, but hesitated.

"Pop the question" has always struck me as a dumb and dangerous concept. When you are truly ready to marry somebody, the two of you have already discussed it at length.

I don't have an engagement ring. For me personally, it was wrong. First, I don't like diamonds, and secondly...it's too much money. I wanted major appliances! ;) A much better use for the limited funds. The wedding ring was another story. I thought a plain gold band was fine...my husband nixed that idea. The very first rings we looked at were absolutely gorgeous and I fell in love. My husband said "you're going to have a wedding ring on your finger for the rest of your life. I want to make sure it's exactly the one you want." So...he proceeded to haul me around Louisville, Kentucky, so that we could look at - I swear it felt like it! - every wedding band in town. Yep. We went back and bought the very first rings we looked at. I got a story out of it as well as gorgeous wedding bands. :)

I grew up going to Riis Park in New York, and I remember those single engine planes that fly up and down the beach pulling a sign behind them.

I always thought that might be a cool way to propose... :)

I have no plans of proposal to anyone right now, I was just curious as to hear what others plan or appreciate.

JR, that may have worked for you, but I can assure you that many women would have no problem "cheapinging" their relationship through a romantic surprise, however what you have has obviously worked for you. Congratulations.

It's all about time management, set up your site with a paypal donation button for the wedding gifts just email the proposal to her and be sure to cc: all of the relatives and guests. Let them know to donate cash instead of gifts :) j/k
