Last night, I saw someone propose on stage in front of 1200 people! And the girl was sat right behind me (she said yes!!). It was so weird- I thought those things only happened in the movies.

Wow on stage would be amazing!

I also like the idea of under the Eiffel Tower, or maybe on a plane or something

A guy I went to school with proposed to his girlfriend at the top of the Eiffel Tower last week.

I always thought he was a bit sleazy, but that was very romantic of him I thought.

Somsone I know wrote "WILL YOU MARRY ME?" in snow whileon a skiing holiday with his girlfriend, then took a photo of it, and got her to develop the pictures.

I can't believe so many people think proposing in Paris is romantic, I think it's really cliched and prett naff

Yep, exactly; just seems a bit superficial and obvious.

If I were to propose, I'd either do it in the same place that I met her, or during a cool summer night on the white beaches of Goa...(ok I don't actually have that much money :rolleyes:

Aaah - never on a beach! Far too much of a cliche...

I once saw one of those airplanes that trail banners saying 'Sarah, will you marry me', and I've always thought that would be amazing. Either that, or my cousin got proposed to doing a tandem bungee jump! They launched themselves off out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon, and he asked her whilst they were being reeled back up.

haha...that would be economy class right?!! I think that would be extremely unromantic, what with all the other passengers peering at you from about...ooooh...2feet away from you and the air hostess asking your boyf to get off his knees cos he's in the way of the trolley!!

Wouldn't a private jet, or a hot air balloon be a far nicer place if you had to do that sort of thing in the air?!...or while skydiving (his hands better not shake tho - he'd drop the ring!). Actually the developing photos one from xdreamx is quite a nice idea as well...

So in the doctors after hearing the words "congratulations you're pregnant" isnt the best way?

What I can't believe is that so many people would like to be proposed to from a stage! It wouldn't be very intimate with so many people watching, and it sort of forces you to say yes in order to save embarrassment...imagine if you wanted to say no or 'I'll think about it', how terrible would that be???

I like the photo one though :biggrin:

I'm a waitress and once this couple came to eat in 'my' restaurant and the man gave me the engagement ring he'd bought and asked me to take it out on a plate alongside the desserts as a surprise...after she saw it, he got down on one knee and you know the rest! It was very sweet. Still, I'm sticking to my not-in-public rule.

Here's what someone I know was planning.....

Writing it in the sand
THEN
Texting 'will u marry me'
THEN
ripping open his shirt to reveal a t-shirt underneath saying 'marry me'
THEN
Having a goat with 'marry me' humanely sprayed on its side run past.

I thought that was ACE. Forget the rest...I'd be SO STOKED if the goat one happened to me. The goat all the way. I'm not exactly a total die-hard romantic so humour/randomness would win it for me :p:
