September 2008 Sarah & I went to Blackpool for the weekend with some of the RTOC crew for a p1ss up and we agreed to visit the pleasure beach theme park. I was very insistent that the first ride we were to go on that day was THE BIG ONE Rollercoaster, my excuse was to beat the ques but I really had other plans.
During the ascent to the top of the rollercoaster I turned to Sarah & produced a plastic toy ring I'd bought & asked her to marry me! :D She was gobsmacked & said yes but as she wasn't expecting it she started crying. As we went round we got the picture and in it she's bawling her eyes out and I'm laughing.
One of the funniest moments was as we were going round I could hear Mart & AlexS saying "did you just do what I thought you did?, Congratulations etc" so at the end of the ride they were really happy for us both but then said? Sh1t I don't remember anything about the ride?! :laugh: Happy days! ;)
My top tip would be for you to ask your good lady to marry you with a Plastic toy ring so you can buy the real one together! You're guarantee'd to get it wrong if you do it yourself?! ;)

Use your loaf mate and it shouldn't cost you the earth! ;) You know these women love something memorable/romatic! Try & do something different to the old trip to paris/dinner on the Saine etc?
Think outside the box?! ;)

There you go, that's a great idea!! Save up & take the family to London, ask your lady to marry you at a London Landmark?
Harrods
London Eye
The Embankment
Tower Bridge
The Grapes Tandoori - Ok this one may be a bit tenuous!? :laugh:

The tower bridge could be symbolic to the marriage ahead I guess she's often threatening to chop my nuts off :)
We were in Rome having dinner just in front of the Colleseum. I just came straight out and asked her...... Just as a bus went by, so she didn't hear me and I had to ask her again!
Unfortunately....... She said yes :laugh:
Good luck!

Al` ive been to that burger king too....:laugh:, well i proposed to sade in the blue mountains in oz, on a tannoy system with a bus load of tourists...:laugh:, no way she could say no...:laugh:, never speak to me again..... maybe, i figuired after putting up with me for 12 yrs and letting me have some many cars etc , id best make sure she couldnt escape...:laugh:, whatever ya do bud, im sure she will love it...:yeah:
Awww I love threads like this.
I agree with Steve though about thinking outside the box. Luckily for Adam if he ever suggested going to Paris and he intended to propose whilst there, I'd have no idea as we've already been there a couple of times together anyway.
Speaking as a girl (during the week anyway), it's not so much about grand gestures, but more about thoughtfulness. My heart melted when Adam took me on the London Eye on one of our first dates - he'd looked up when sunset was going to be that day, found out how long the "flight" was and booked it so the sun was going down when we were right at the top.
That's not what I loved the most though, he rememberd me mentioning I wanted to go on the Eye months before we even got together and he hates (really hates) heights! He was sat down on the bench on the middle holding on tightly while I was staring out the window in awe. He was acting like it was a white knuckle ride at 2mph bless him. I feel all emotional even thinking about it now, nobody had ever done anything so thoughtful for me before :ashamed:
If you want my advise mate I would say "don't bother!!"
I'm just a grumpy old cynic:wasntme:

Find a random burd to give a house to. Its cheaper and no bitterness in the end.
:D
On a less cynical note , I asked my lass to marry me 7.5 years ago. We were on a 2mi beach on our own.
If ever she is moaning at me about leaving stuff out , just drop that pearl in and I can get away with murder !
Well , almost :scared:
(plus it will take me that long to save for the ring)
exactly what i'd be doing, nurburgring trip for the win, best gift any prospective wife could ever want ;)

I sent my missus on a blind folded treasure hunt in a big garden for ten minutes then at the end I gave her a last treasure to find and it was a remote control it was pitch black in a garden so I took the blind fold off told her to look at the end of the garden and push the button on the remote 2 seconds later fireworks exploded and when the smoke cleared there was a huge firework sign I had made saying marry me greatest thing I have ever seen I'll try and find a picture mate

Very good :)
Was Bekki's 30th back in January, and to celebrate that we booked a holiday to Sri Lanka - I arranged a surprise Birthday meal on the beach for the 2 of us, bottle of champers (which I had brought with me from the UK, and resultantly was sh1tting bricks that it would break in my suitcase on the way over :D), flowers, little lights around the palm trees, a dude from the hotel's band playing acoustic guitar in the background, etc etc, and all arranged to tie in with the bad ass sunsets they have there.
It was perfect :) and just as the sun finally set with a picture perfect postcard coloured sky, with Bekki expecting it was all nothing more than a romantic Birthday meal, I went down on one knee, out with the plastic ring (which was actually a napkin ring in the shape of a massive diamond ring :D) and popped the big question.
A few tears later (of a happiness emotion I hope :laugh:) and thankfully Bekki replied yes - Our big day is 7th September next year :cool: :)

To be honest, it doesnt matter where you do it. Just make sure she remembers it. I asked my ex to marry me at the top of the empire state building.....should of just chucked her off instead.
Good luck with what ever you do. You wont have felt so nervous in all your life.
What are her interests? (besides hating your 5?)
