Help.
One simple one I recently heard about is to arrange for the waiter to have the ring box sitting among the choices on the dessert tray.
She'll love it...
Okay, this is a rip-off from a friend of mine but he won't know. He got a small "treasure chest" box at a craft store or Hobby Lobby or something. He then hot-glued "treasure" inside the chest with a spot left to put the ring (so it would stand out from the fake stuff). He then sealed the chest lightly and took it snorkeling in shallow water just off the coast (without her). He returned with her a short time later to swim, "found" the chest, and presented it to her for her to open (all the time acting like it's an honest-to-goodness discovery). When she opened it and saw the ring, he proposed.
They're crazy happy in love 15-20 years later, two girls, living the dream, etc.
Good luck!
I like Jerrett's idea better.
propose at the track......er, auto-x. never mind tracks are cooler.
Dang, no love for the cone-packers! :punchout: ;)Quote:

Moonlight stroll on the deck, gazing at the stars, take her hand, get down on one knee, and ask her to marry you. Keep it simple and skip the gimmicks.
Jen told me she slapped you the last time you tried that ;)Quote:

What is your contingency plan if she says NO?
You going to take her to small claims court??
I agree, keep it simple. Take her hand tell her how you feel and that she is the only one for you. Leave hidden prizes to game shows. Everyday after show her why she is important to you.
Why don't you motorboat her with the ring hidden in your mouth. Then when you come up for air, smile and show it to her between your teeth.
Because I don't want to spend the rest of my vacation in the Bahamas missing 2 or more front teeth. Have you seen what she did to the poor badge in my steering wheel on the S2000?Quote:

People around me are wondering why I just started laughing.Quote:

I told her to close her eyes, got the ring out and then held a magnifying glass over the rock and told her to open them, borrowing from a classic 3 Stooges episode.
Best. Idea. Ever. ::Banana::Quote:

Tell her you're breaking up with her..........................let that sink in for a second then when she's about to blow up in your face then propose :D
Or something like that.
I kept is simple. A walk in a pecan grove etc. Five kids and 36 years later, what can I say. The one thing I did do was purchase the Bass Boat a week "before" I proposed.
LOL I did the same thing!Quote:
