Ultimate Ideas for Marriage Proposals..

For the marriage proposal I received from my husband, it was so unexpected. He called me up at 7am and I was still in dreamland at that time. I was still half-asleep when I answered the phone. By the time I said "hello", he asked me if I was awake enough to understand what he has to say. And I said no. He took a very deep breath and was silent for a few moments. And I was thinking at that time, he was beginning to get weird on me. Then he said those 4 words I was waiting to hear for years. He said, "Will you marry me?" I was shocked and didn't speak at all for 2 minutes I think. I felt as if I was only dreaming. And he thought, I put down the phone on him because he didn't hear anything at all. No sound, nada from me. When I have finally recovered from my shock, of course, I said yes to him. He was so afraid that I didn't want to marry him because I was silent for so long. And I teased him that the next time, he wants to make another marriage proposal, he should wait for me to at least get some breakfast, so my brain will start functioning!

I give any guy [or girl ;)] full rights to use any of the ideas I put down here. (I just hope I can still pull of a great proposal for my future girl if applicable). I don't know if anyone will even read it, but its here. Plus I really want to see couples happy. [Idea 1] Put the wedding ring at the center of a rose in a banquet of roses. If you are worried about her(or him) not seeing it, do something to draw attention. A bouquet of red roses with a special white one in the center (humans are curious creatures, its sure to work). Or you can use her favorite flower in the bouquet in place of the white rose (1, 2 or 3 should work, she'll find it) You can also use a card too. Make it short but powerful and loving. Good luck :) [Idea 2] Call up your future spouse say you are on the way. Be STEALTHY in your approach, park a bit further away if you are driving. Put the ring in an celebration/invitation style envelope. Also put one of the following inside too * A heartfelt poem declaring your love and intent * An fake but plausible invitation to the wedding of Mr and Mrs [name] ;p * A note or keepsake probably the first thing you did/first date or a special item Put the envelope/ring in the mailbox (leave it open) and have the note out or use the mail slip (or you can just put it on the threshhold. Knock on the door. Run away and find a place to hide. Watch your spouse open the note and slowly approach the door. I would follow up on the note or item you put in and declare the true proposal then too. Good luck, I hope she/he likes it. [Idea 3] Send your future spouse several emails and have one word in each subject line. The idea is to have the email subject lines spell out your message. You can also lead it as you wish. *** From ***@gmail.com - Subject: [Name] I love you From ***@gmail.com - Subject: You make me whole From ***@gmail.com - Subject: I want to be with you From ***@gmail.com - Subject: !!!Will From ***@gmail.com - Subject: You From ***@gmail.com - Subject: Marry From ***@gmail.com - Subject: Me!!!!!? *** You can also customize parts especially the email with the final part of your chain message. A pic of the wedding ring will do fine. Remember, you want to send the last parts of this message FIRST otherwise it comes out backwards. Also make sure to show up sometime soon, spouses wanna see the real thing! Oh and if you know your future spouses email is spam conducive you may not wanna try this [Idea 4] Use a big banner on your house, apartment, etc. Make it say a powerful and meaningful message. Remember, your future spouse is looking for a powerful and bold confession, you are trying not just to win the heart, but to win it for life. Just make sure you get a variance since many city zoning laws probably don't allow you to do this alone. Or you can just do it and hope no one catches you. [Idea 5] Skywrite it. Not much to say on this, but if its a clear day or a very special day and conditions are right, try it. Take your beloved to a special place of your choice. Close the eyes and open them when the message is ready. It also adds effect if you have the ring right there so you can quickly show it when your beloved is done reading the message. Good luck :) [Idea 6] Cook your beloved's favorite meal or an elegant meal that's truly something. Go through a lot of effort. On their dish, put the ring on the edge of the plate and make it so when you present it that your beloved will see the ring once they start digging in. You can follow up with your declaration of choice, I'd say "I really love you [name], I can't stand a second longer without you completely. Though it might be quaint, I wouldn't mind cooking for you for the rest of your life. Will you marry me?" Uh... do not put the ring directly in the food -_- things can get "problematic". [Idea 7] Wear a necklace each day when seeing your beloved for this week. Give your beloved the necklace (doesn't have to be expensive, just something for show and chaining). Repeat for the next 5 days, bring it to the 6th day. Now on the seventh day, get another necklace or chain and put the wedding ring on it. Your beloved might not notice at first since you've been wearing odd chains recently, but when she takes a better look...then its your cue. :) [Idea 8] Clean out your glove box and put in it the wedding ring, a card or a poem of love and perhaps a special present. Pick your beloved up from work. Talk about what you've both been through over the years (or months) and talk about how much you love your beloved. Tell her to search the glove box. Let her read the note and see the ring. Follow up on the card verbally. Also if you got a special prize in there, like tickets to Hawaii or something you can also make this a teasing joke. You are kidnapping both your future spouse and her heart. :) [Idea 9] Ship a package or mail this to your beloved. The contents, bright white envelope with a kid's wedding ring and your declaration from the heart. And a play version of tiara and white veil. Declare your love in the note but remember to put that if she wants the real deal, make her bring back the kid's ring and the play veil. When your beloved arrives again, confess your heart and your intent. Also when she/he says yes then you can reveal the real ring and place it on. You can even put on the fake ring and veil after for fun :) Call it making the whole thing more memorable for both parties. Phew. I don't even know why I went that far out. Not like I can get king of the discussion, but at least this is another epic post under my belt :)

More ideas are on the way. But I wonder if anyone is really reading this? Might not be since a lot of people here are already married. Ah well, I'll probably add a few more, then start off an entire list to it when I think I'm ready.
