But he doesn’t know how he want’s to “pop the question”. Anyone got any good (or funny) suggestions?
On the Jaws ride. Gets’em every time.
“thats the most romantic thing i’ve ever heard”
Sucker.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, no, I don’t.
A friend of mine wanted to have his girlfriend lie down on a bed of roses as he proposed, but he had to change that at the last minute because, as he told me, “Roses have thorns!”
He should propose in some romantic nature setting. The weather must be perfect, and it must be night, yet not too dark so that you can’t see. Maybe about 20 or 25 feet from some sort of light source. It must follow a romantic dinner or event, and subtle clues must be given as the night goes on; nothing that she could pick up on and anticipate the proposal, but enough that she could look back on the evening and see what he was getting at. For example, he could order some wine that he got on their first date, etc. He should make references to special events that have occured throught the course of the relationship.
When I do it (God knows when or to whom), it will be a well-planned event for sure. I want to give the proposal to end all proposals. It’s the very start of the beginning of the rest of your lives together; it sets the tone for the engagement, which in turn sets the tone for the marriage.
There was that Hellzburg Diamonds commercial (or some diamond commercial) that showed a guy and a girl out in the middle of nowhere, and then all of a sudden a huge old oak tree was lit up with thousands and thousands of white Christmas lights. Now that was romantic in the commercial, but the logistics would be hard to do in real life (it would really suck to take all that down).
"A friend of mine wanted to have his girlfriend lie down on a bed of roses "
That should be rose petals…
Buy a ring, get on your knees, look up at her & say ‘would you marry me?’… works pretty well.
But then he could have sang/played “Every rose has its thorns”.
Nothing quite sets the tone of a proposal like a Poison song.
But when he gets the ring, he should make sure it’s a stone she likes.
My engagement ring isn’t a diamond one. It has diamond baguettes on the side, but the central stone is a sapphire.
The reason I say that is, a couple months after I’d been wearing the ring, my husband started to insist that my favourite colour was purple (it’s blue). I finally had to ask him, if purple was my favourite colour, how come my engagement ring was a blue sapphire and not a purple amethyst?
I don’t believe we’ve argued about colours since.
Also, a word of advice - spontaneous proposals are just as fun as planned ones.
He should get the ring, and carry it around with him, and just wait for a perfect time. Say, like after a night of wining, dining, and dancing.
I disagree with the whole bended knee thing (ya know how awkward it is to take seriously someone who was taller than you and now you have to look down at them?).
