Proposal ideas
 

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?

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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 :)

Re: Proposal ideas
 

lol, it's oh-so very surprising that you are not married...

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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.

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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.

Re: Proposal ideas
 

well don't put a ring in food


it could be eaten

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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.

Perfectly capturing the macabre comedy that is 'marriage' :okthumb:

Re: Proposal ideas
 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :wnw: :wnw:


I'm sitting here almost in tears I'm laughing so hard!

I'd love to do a tour of your mind, not the cheap tour but the all in full throttle tour :okthumb:

Re: Proposal ideas
 

I'm guessing you're single? :blink:

Re: Proposal ideas
 

been married for a few years now.
:)

Re: Proposal ideas
 

i will hit you up next time i am in london. i am planning to be there in 2 mo's :)

Re: Proposal ideas
 

Eh, shoulda known! :)

Ok, fess up then. How did you propose?

Re: Proposal ideas
 

It's a must :okthumb:

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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.

Re: Proposal ideas
 

She's a very fine looking woman. :okthumb:



Though she may need to have someone take a look at that ooogly thing growing out of the left side of her head :blink:


:yowsa:

Re: Proposal ideas
 

Power to you! Nice sentiment, JR. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/ok.gif

And btw, you look like Matt Damon in the Bourne movies. http://oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

Re: Proposal ideas
 

Y'think :blink:






When was the last time you had your glasses checked. :huh:

Re: Proposal ideas

... Sorry, JR! Hey you look better than me! :)

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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... :)

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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.

Re: Proposal ideas
 

when i was little... 8 Is Enough was popular and i looked exacty like Adam Rich. it was weird. I was the same age etc and people always wanted to talk to me and take pictures with me. it took me a couple years of that to understand why

Re: Proposal ideas
 

DUDE!

It may be the hair that makes it work for you... but JR ain't looking like Matt D to me... but then my eyes work. :yowsa:

Re: Proposal ideas
 

LOL! Adam Rich ... I remember him.

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. :)

Re: Proposal ideas
 

Now this could be a knee bender...


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

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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'm more concerned about having to go the bathroom. :butt:

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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... :)

Re: Proposal ideas
 

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
