took her to a park we went to when we first started dating. Walked around for a bit then took her to a quiet spot at the park. Talked about our future together and then popped the question.

After we got done with that we went out to eat and I surprised her again by having her family and my family there. Everyone got to talk about the engagment and wedding plans, etc. It was a good time :)

Don't do it. I wish I hadn't.

We have been dating for approx 10 years and living together for a little over 3 years. I dont have any doubts

She's going to turn psycho the instant that ring hits her finger.

If you don't want to do the standard "dinner and get down on one knee" proposal, do something that's personal to her. My girl loves teddy bears and has a collection of them, so I decided to go that route. Just find something personal and that's cute that she can show off to all her girlfriends.

good luck! :thumbsup:

I thought about that but my g/f doesn't really have any teddy bears so I decided against it.

Plus they want like $75 for a bear :frown:

Put the ring in the flip down visor on the passenger side of the car (the one with the mirror in it) go out to a nice dinner, real classy, and somehow (I have not quite gotten this part yet) get her to check her makeup, somthing in her teeth if shes got a good sence of humor, anything to get her to flip down the mirror. She sees the ring taped on the mirror- freaks out.
Just an idea.

I have CD visors in the car. Maybe ask her to grab a CD?
