Thread: Lend me your creative brains...

    Default Lend me your creative brains...

    So I got the engagement ring and we're off to the Bahamas on a cruise next Friday but I still don't have a proposal idea and I'm running out of time...

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Good idea, I hate being creative anyway.

    Maybe moonlight stroll to the top deck with a bottle of champagne and some chocolate covered strawberries (she loves those) and hide the ring in the middle of the tray somewhere.

    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?

    I asked my girlfriend what she thought, and she brought up: what's she like, does she like attention, what's her sense of humor, etc. The point is you know her best, and you know what she likes. A suggestion from one of us might not be what she likes. Either way, good luck and congrats.

    She doesn't like a lot of attention, she can take a joke but not sure that would be the best time for jokes. Now that I thought about it I don't think I want to cause a scene.

    Then you have your answer. Keep it simple and private.
