kkulbo0 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum! I did a lot of brainstorming in the past two months and I've come up with a few proposal ideas. I like them all in their own unique way so I thought I'd get you guys' opinion on these. My Ideas: 1. highway proposal: rent a closed box trailer and write "(Her name), Will you marry me?" on the side. Her friend will be driving her somewhere on the highway and the truck pulling the trailer will pass the vehicle displaying the message and pulls in front of the car. That's when I'll be in the trailer with the trailer door open (and safely tethered), on my knees, holding a sign that says "honk twice for yes!" 2. Vegas 4th of july: This is where we sort of first met (long story). I'll have a top-floor suite booked facing the strip (kept secret) but when I check in, the front desk will tell me all of the normal rooms are booked but they can upgrade us to the suite for free- that way she won't be suspecting any special. On the night of 4th of july, we'll be watching the fireworks from our amazing view and that's when I'll propose. 3. Bookstore: This is where my creative/artsy side comes in. I'll have a hard-cover, children's book written and drawn by me about a turtle falling in love with a snail (don't make fun of me). I'll have it arranged with the book store owner so the book is on the shelf when we walk in. I'll tell my gf to find a cute book for my niece who loves turtles. I don't know yet, but I'll have to convince her to open and read the whole thing (about 6-8 pages with pictures and one sentence per page) and in the end something along the lines of "he knew he wanted to be with her forever. That's when he decided to ask..." and as she flips the page, it's just blank pages and hopefully leaving her confused. That's when I'll propose. 4. Toy store: Kind of same idea as bookstore except I have to rig a Sheriff Woody doll (from toy story). We love toy story and we have all of Woody's quotes memorized (I know, we're nerds), so when she sees the doll, she'll pull the string to make Woody talk. Woody will say what he normally says each time you pull the string, until about the 5th or 6th pull. That's when it'll say something along the lines of "I love you (her name), Will you marry me?" And I get on my knee. 5. Skype: We've been having a long distance relationship for a while so we've Skyped often. I'll have a pre-recorded conversation and I'll fill in pauses and stuff so she'll just talk to the recording without knowing. Then I'll say something like I have to tell you something and I'll tell her how much I love her, wish I can be there with her etc (This will all be done through a special software that lets you stream movie files through skype). Assuming there's no technical difficulties, she'll be fully convinced that I'm at my house while I'll be running this operation in her roommates room and at the end of the recording, I (in the recording) will say, I have one question to ask you. That's when I'll come in room and propose. Sorry for the long post.... Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Erased Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 For me, I'd only like number 2. The others are more cutesy than romantic. But we're all different, you know what she likes. Link to post Share on other sites
eerie_reverie Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I would not go with #1. It is not even cutesy. Link to post Share on other sites
