How did you say, “Will you marry me?” to your sweetheart? Probably it was not as unique as some of these ways. But if you are waiting for the right moment and right way, maybe these will give you some creative ideas! We have avoided the really expensive or bizarre ways and stuck to real possibilities.
If you like extreme sports, sky’s the limit for ideas. A couple reached the top of a mountain ready to ski down. Just as they were ready to begin, he proposed and she accepted. They both experienced a double rush! A skydiving couple was engaged through a hidden sign and a nod as they sped toward the ground.
A TV game show winner suddenly turned to the audience and proposed to his girlfriend. The nation wide publicity made it hard for her to refuse. Another fellow arranged with a movie theater to help him. When the movie the couple was attending ended, a message flashed onto the scream, “Sarah, will you marry me? –Charlie”. After recovering from the shock, she accepted.
One fellow arranged for the neighbors in the apartment across the street to help. At a preset time, they flashed their lights off and on spelling out the proposal in code. Another girl was led to believe her boyfriend was miles away. She attended a preplanned scavenger hunt. The last item on her list led her to where he was hiding and, surprise, he proposed.
A bold girl got tired of waiting for her boyfriend to make the decision. So when they were on a date, she said, “Darling, you know if you would ask me to marry you, I’d say yes in a minute!” . If that seems a bit too bold, maybe you could just drop a hint or two, like, “If you need any money for a ring or anything, let me know,” or “I’ve been practicing saying my new last name after we’re married”
Sam took his honey to a plush restaurant. She anticipated his asking the big question but the entire meal was filled with (comparatively) trivial talk. Finally the meal was over and he asked for the bill. There, on the bill tray sat the engagement ring. He took it, fell to his knees and turned her disappointment to joy.
One man purchased a small book that was filled with love poems. After page four, he glued all the rest of the pages together, then cut out a heart shaped hole in it. She read the first poems, then turned the page only to find herself face to face with an engagement ring! Allowing time for shock to set in, he then took it and asked her the big question!
Use of the media is particularly effective. A man took out a full-page ad in a section of the newspaper he knew his girl would see. When she turned the page and read it, he had the ring right there. This also provided her a souvenir of the memorable day.
Speaking of media, a man rented a billboard along a route he knew his girl would travel, and paid for the proposal to be displayed on it. If you can be in the car with her, have the ring handy; if not, try timing a call to her cell phone as she passes the display. You might even be standing by the road, pointing at it with a ring box in the other hand!
Two ideas that get top marks include the help of an airplane. Have a firm sky write your proposal in the sky over an area where she will be A very memorable alternate is to have a banner made and flown over the area. If you can be with her, be sure to have the ring hidden but handy.
Entering into marriage is a serious step in life and pursued soberly. But that doesn’t mean you cannot be creative in the way you ask her to join you for life. Why not make it an event you will both remember throughout your lifetime together?
