Probably a repost at some point. But what the heck.

I'm about to take the plunge. I think it just be low key though. Maybe do it over dinner.

Anyone wanna share how they proposed to their significant other?

Most of the older people are asleep. You'll probably get better luck in a few hours.

I didn't do this but this is what I heard someone did that was a photography expert:

-He arranged for a nice dinner in a fancy restaurant and bought a dress for her to wear.
-Told her to pick up the dress the day before. While at his apt, he got her to pose for a few pictures in the dress like with her sitting and such
-When she leaves, he photoshops a picture with her sittingat the table/setting of the restaurant they were going to and him proposing to her.
-At the dinner he gives her a box with the picture on top and the ring beneath it
-While she's looking at the picture he gets on one knee yadda yadda yadaa

pretty pimp way to do it albeit pretty time consuming

I took her to a rose garden in Los Angeles. We walked around and took pictures. Then we came to this bench and when we sat down, I started talking about how my life has changed ever since she became a part of it. I said to her, "I can't imagine another minute of my life without you in it."

Then, I stuck my hand inside my pocket to look for the ring--it wasn't there. I freaked out and started digging around in the dirt under the bench. My hands were all dirty. I couldn't find it so I started to panic. When I stood up near the grass, she saw something shiny fall out of my pocket. She pointed saying, "Hey what's that shiny thing?"

I picked it up and said, "Oh that, oh yeah, will you marry me?"

I made a sweatshirt and glued glitter on it with the words "Will you marry me?" on it. Wrapped it up, and gave it to her on her birthday.

Me: I'm having the guys over to watch the game
Her (Girlfriend at the time): Sure can I make you guys anything?
Me: Hmm... How about a bunch of finger foods and maybe pickup like 150-200 wings?
Her: Sure... and I'll pickup a few cases of beer on the way home.
Me: Wow... will you marry me?

I did really propose about 1 month later...

The rest is history... and she still goes out of her way to entertain me and my friends.

My wife proposed to me: "I'm pregnant and I won't have this baby without being married."

The rest is history.

We were living together (4yrs) for a while and she needed health care, so I said let's get married so you can have health care. We went to the courthouse and got married the next week. We had a real wedding about 2 months later.

You should change your name to Fapp cuz that's what you should have done instead!

You could do it like Rocky Balboa. "Hey Adrian, what're you doin' for the next 30 years?"

Took her to a lake, walked around it, made an overall good day during the best colors of fall. Sat on some rocks and watched the waterfall, slipped the ring onto a rock behind and next to her and said: "Hey, why would someone leave a perfectly good ring on that rock right there?".

That is totally fantastically awesome. But some traditional part of me says men propose to women, so hopefully your future beau will read this thread.

A lot of times when we are at grocery stores, etc., I will buy her stuff out of gumball machines. So when I wanted to propose, I got a small gumball machine, filled the top up with rose petals, and fixed it so that the ring would drop when she turned the handle.

We had a normal dinner and a movie night, then went to a fondue resteraunt for dessert. The waiter brought out a plate with "Will you marry me?" written on it in chocolate. We didn't eat much of the dessert.

I waited until 1-1-00 - we were having a new year's party at a friends house...the friend lived close to Sea World, and always got great views of the fireworks they send off. So after the countdown, wine, etc, while the fireworks were going off and everyone was cheering, I dropped to my knee and asked....







....oh, she said yes. Geez. I was worried!! :p

We were on a vacation in Ireland. We had gone out to eat in Galway, and caught some music afterwards. She had been ready to get married for some time, and I was the one dragging my heels. I started to talk to her about marriage, and how hard it was for me to make that kind of commitment, we had a good talk, but it pretty much pissed her off because she was ready and didnt understand why I didn't want her.

So we left the bar and she was pretty pissed. I pick out a nice spot under a stoop and start to calm her down. I went to one knee and an Irish woman stops "Say yes! Say yes" and someone else with her talks about romance not being dead. Well, she started crying and said yes and the hugging and the kissing. We went back into the bar and had a seat and I read her a poem I had found that morning by Seamus Heaney (we were in Ireland after all) called "Scaffolding".
