all you creative bastards..........

[Alyeska_Skibum]

I want ideas and I want them fast. After 4 1/2 years together, ups and downs, I feel the time is right to pop the question................. Just picked up the ring today.

Was thinking about getting into cahoots with waiter at restaurant and have him bring the ring out underneath a silver platter.......That sounds extremely cheesy and I'm enlisting the maggots help.



edit.......... Why does this scare the absolute shit out of me?

[ak_powder_monkey]

First off congrats!

Second off go to club paris and do it! just make sure to order the bleu cheese filled fillet.

Third same reason its scarey to ask out a girl in middle school.

You could adopt the Pulp Fiction approach a la Christopher Walken - I know it's a ring and not a watch - but that would really add a special something.


Good luck.

Play a game of scrabble and substitute the ring for an O on the board when spelling out a word associated with your question/ proposal. FOllow this up with a ...................................

COngrats- you won't regret it.

CONGRATS!

Coming from a woman - regardless of how you do it - she is going to be ECSTATIC!!!! I do like the scrabble idea though- that sounds original and I haven't heard that one before.

Don't go crazy trying to think of the AbSOLUTE PERFECT way to do it. As long as it is completely unexpected! Either way she is going to be so excited and pumped.

And you are going to be EXTREMELY nervous. My hubby admits that he was a wreck until he actually did it.

PICTURES OF THE RING???? Details at least - come on - we LOVE this stuff!!! (thread worthless with out pics of the ring!!).

[Tuckerman]

Don't do it man. Errrr that is good luck.

[Bender]

Dick in a box?

[Core Shot]

Restaurant is cheesy. trust your instincts.

Get more creative.
What do you two like to do together? What sports/activites float your boats?
maybe integrate those into the proposal.

Make it more personal to what you two are all about.

Powder proposals seem to go over really well.

And dont think you need some grand parade by a naked clown marching band to impress her. That shit just doesn't matter.

[smmokan]

How about you check the padded room about a week ago, and look at the 5 pages of replies on there?

Or, you could be original and think of your own way to propose. Asking a bunch of internet freaks isn't the most memorable way to go.

[Obstruction]

Go for quiet, romatic and personal. Beautiful moonlit night for example in the mountains at the shore etc. or In front of a roaring fire, you know the drill. (Some place fairly near a warm bed is important also).

Restuarant just adds a shitload of strangers to a moment that should just belong to you and your lady. You'll be up to your ass in friends and family after you ask anyway.

She'll love telling the story of what a romatic foo you are at least as much as she would of how you put your proposal on the Jumbotron at a hockey game.

Best of luck!

on Jaws at Universal Studios!

and don't forget..................nsfw............................

[hutash]

The place is important, somewhere memorable. Don't try to get too creative, keep it simple and romantic. Chicks love that stuff. I popped the question on a moon lite night on a bridge over the Merced river in Yosemite valley. The warm bed referenced above was actually a tent, but it still worked.

[Conundrum]

I was a wreck dude before I did it. We got engaged at Corbet's Cabin on a powder day. It was a great weekend.

I'll echo what's been said though. It's nice to have that memory but I don't think it mattered where it happened, just that it did happen.

[whatcomridaz]

Your first priority should be getting a prenup drawn up. After that just ask

[ElCidWill]

Whatever you do just keep it simple but meaningful. After 12 months passes, romance is a thing of the past for most. Just surviving life pretty much consumes everything, unless you have a trust fund or you are in an unusually fortunate position.

Just make sure she feels special-

ahhh... the wisdom you can glean from the tgr forums...

[rip]

have here register for this site, and ask her through a PM. Can't get more romantic than that.

[Steven S. Dallas]

I realize not everyone would find this romantic, but have you considered swallowing the ring and pooping it into her mouth?

And I am now crying at work. Fucking Hilarious.

Slip it on her finger at night and act like it's been there for years.

Now that shows some imagination. When people are looking for wedding presents she can tell them she's registered at TGR.

[rungsp]

Stop half way down a perfect powder descent....fumble in pocket for ring....ask the question and then....SHIT you dropped the ring into the Pow....

Perhaps restaurant has some positives after all?

[skiski]

Dick in a box?

Seconded. I'd forgotten about that video, but it was fucking hilarious.

[HukIt AK]

You gay bastard, dont lie to us and say its a woman!

Ok, Gratz man, about time you asked her. And look how fast your brother was to follow suit.

Done and Done! Thanks, she loved it!

pics to come soon (Of the ring, not the poop)
