rofl great addition. Was almost expecting a your mom comeback. Go find a thick metal pole somewhere that can bare your weight. Then find some rope hopefully you will know what to do by then.

A friend of mine just proposed to his girlfriend by getting a custom fortune cookie saying something like "I see a big rock in your future" or something like that, and as she was opening it/reading it he got on his knee and asked her with ring in hand

dothefandango do not question the inner-workings of the mind of an idiot

it will drive you insane

[Nickname]

my idea is still the best.

this one's free but the next one is gonna cost you

first off, it's a matter of how much you're willing to drop on "popping the question."

This is what you'll need:

- At least one reliable friend (two is optimum)
- One hot air balloon. If it's free range and the operator has to be there, then it might ruin the seclusion. Tethered is best.
- pair of walkie talkies (the good quality ones... to be safe)
- Your "song" loaded on a boombox stowed away on the hot air balloon, as well as some other "soft" music that won't interrupt conversation.
- About a solid minute of aerial type fireworks. I recommend a couple of these:
http://www.fireworks.com/fireworks_g...to.asp?pid=740
http://www.fireworks.com/fireworks_g...to.asp?pid=891
And finish it off with this fucker here: http://www.fireworks.com/fireworks_g...to.asp?pid=993
- preferably a river nearby to reflect the fireworks.
- Fine champagne, glasses, etc.
- Maybe some appetizers like prochuitto and asparagus, or some other fancy shit you don't eat on a regular basis.
- Roses and flowers (optional - if she's into it)
- Restaurant reservations (optional)
- Limo ride home (optional)
- Engagement ring
- A few lines of poetry or whatever corny shit you want her to know

Here's what you'll need to do:
- During a seperate session, take the hot air balloon and see how high it flies. Using your walkie talkie, position your friend(s) in a way where they can set off the fireworks and have the aerials explode right at eye level. Set off ONE aerial shell and make sure the ballon is at eye level, and has a good view of the surroundings. I.E. river. Instruct them to set off all the fireworks (or in a sequence) when the walkie talkie chirps, and the balloon is in the air.

- 60 minutes prior to your ascent to the heavens, have your friend(s) in position with all the fireworks. Have them text message you when they're in position (as your walkie talkie will be in the hot air balloon itself). Load the balloon itself with the boombox, champagne, flowers, and whatever else.

- Come home and take your soon-to-be fiance to the hot air ballon. Hopefully you were smart and told her that you wanted to go out for dinner at a fancy place or some shit when really you had this planned. And make sure it's dark outside or you'll waste the fireworks. Remember to put the ring in your jacket pocket and a rose taped to the inside back of your jacket, so you can pull it out like a sword. If you want to do this remember to dethorn it.

- Get there, surprise her, have the operator set you two into the sky. Don't set the fireworks off just yet. Play the music on the boombox... your song should be the first one. Hold her hand, look into her eyes, say the stuff you wrote down (or read it, if you didn't bother to remember). Nonchalantly click the walkie talkie and signal your friends to start the show - don't speak into it. Don't take your eyes off of her.

- As the fireworks light up the sky, get on one knee, do your thing. Hopefully now the fireworks will be lighting up the entire area but instead she'll be locked on to you. Do the disney kiss before the fireworks thing. Then enjoy the rest of the fireworks. Fire up some champagne, appetizers, etc.

- Get off and go eat someplace nice. Maybe hire a driver if you decide to have a drink or two.

... and don't forget to thank your friends by getting them some food too!

Awww that would be so sweet... a proposal like that is every girl's fantasy.

[Galleleo]

That is so way over the top..

[Bioture]

That is so way over the top..

You only get to do this once (hopefully). So do it right.

edit: or you can settle for the restaurant/fortune cookie/cook for you/play you a song on the guitar thing. Whatever you want to put forth as your best is not my business.

Just remember this is for the rest of your life. Maybe over the top wouldn't be so extreme if you knew you only had one shot at it.

double edit: yes I did this. not for an engagement though. the shit I pulled for that deserves a book or a movie or something.

[Galleleo]

I am just not the kind of person for that kind of stuff. And most of all, with something like this, but in a relationship in general, its about staying true to yourself. You cant do something like that if that is not in you, cause it just creates unreasonable expectations.

Don't get me wrong, when I get to it, I will go all out my way. But I could not tell you how I will do that right now, cause it highly depends on who I do that for. I will go for the personal angle, use something that means a lot to her/us, a situation or whatever. I wont know until I actually do it.

I am just more of the personal approach, than the standard (imagine brackets, key broken) scenario that is huge and over the top.

[dads revenge]

Looks like gran is finally gonna pop the question cent. You better wear something easy to remove this weekend.

[Kim]

Nice one bio, that's epic.
For sure when that time comes for me, I'd definitely want to go above and beyond what I'm normally capable of because it is for the rest of your life.
