Try Elkins Lake. I believe one of the back lakes is pretty secluded and probably would make a nice backdrop. Find a nice spot away from any homes...skip some stones across the lake with her...and then give her the ring and ask her if she'd like that stone. Bam. Outdoorsy, memorable proposal. And...when you guys retire, you can always go back to Elkins Lake and buy a golf course home to live in. Dayum. I'm good. And good luck!!!
rocketsjudoka is just trying once again to be this overly reasonable, paternalistic figure that sucks the air out of potentially epic threads!
This would actually be pretty cool. It'd be even better if you kind of planned in advance and told some of her friends and family you were going to do it and they independently bought tickets to the same show and kind of sat out of the way. You know so that you could all celebrate together after the performance. I went a completely different route. I proposed in the GEM section of the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Kind of strange, true, but my wife loved that exhibit hall, and the while in certain areas it was hard to see the ring, in others the lighting was just right to make it really pop. Can't remember if we saw an IMAX or not afterwards, but if we did, all the better... IMAX's are awesome
That wouldn't work with us Mexicans. Mexican comedians are usually OBSCENE and always throwing double entenderes and crassy stuff...
I expected it to be about a radical,but intriguing way to solve a problem within the city. Lol. My wife and I had looked at this puppy in the mall several times. Normally, I would never buy a dog from the mall. She really liked the puppy, though, and it was getting older, so one night, she went to work on third shift, and I went to the mall and bought the puppy. When she got home, the puppy was sitting I'm the living room with the ring around its collar. I walked out, got down on a knee and asked her. When she found out it was her grandmother's ring, she started crying and I felt bad.
Please don't do it in public over the top. It is weird to me how people make it into this big attention w**** thing. It should be at a special place sure, special moment, which means not somewhere where a whole game or some other public place. very cheesy to me. that's just me though. I asked my wife around christmas, we were at home, very intimate and simple. The way it took place was nice..made it more of a surprise. That's her personality though. If your gal likes that kind of attention then maybe public.. so really it more depends on her. overdoing it to me is kind of empty and the reality is marriage is more about day to day and love then some false production. One of my buddies did the whole ask at the eiffel tower (can't beat that) production and the girlfriends were bragging amongst themselves about how great.. and the marriage lasted like 2 years. You know her better than we do so as long as there is some thought to it, surprising perhaps, and done from a nice mindset.. and pure.. then I think you are on the right track.

Her grandma died when she was like 10. They Werd very close. She left it for her in her will. My wife had no idea she had left it for her.

Some pretty good ideas and advice. Please keep it coming. The wheels in my head are starting to turn. And CometsWin, what a stupid ****ing question. No right-minded person sees their girlfriend in real life for at least 5 years. Texting, tweeting and talking on the phone is all we do.
