What if it’s not special? Will she kill you? Just asking…

They told me that even if she did she wouldn’t be the same person and they didn’t know what would come back. Well to make a long story short she did come back, and she is better than ever :love: We had been through so much together, over 3 months in rehab and recovery so I knew I had to do something special for her.
> 
> What I did was go around to some of her best friends, close family friends, my mom and her parents and a special nurse she had in the hospital that played a pretty important part in our life during those tough times. I asked them to talk about her in the 3rd person and describe what she ment to them. I was worried that I would have a lot of the same kind of stuff after everyone said thier piece but that wasn’t the case. There were personal stories, inside jokes and just a lot of things I could never imagine - it was just fantastic. Then I got on and recorded myself in front of a greenscreen so I could edit the background out. I talked about us meeting, our lives so far and where I saw us in the future. The whole time I had things in the background like short movies, places we had been, things that were special to us… just things that ment something.

> Well we have everyone hudled around our Televison and start playing the dvd and we get to the end and I say “there is someone sitting beside you that has something he would like to ask you” - well it was me sitting there 🙂 I get up, go down on one and propose to her. It was in front of about 20 of our closest friends and reletives and thank god she said yes!

Nice :love:

I proposed during a walk on the beach. The coldest beach you’ve ever been on. It was so cold 100 yards is how far we made it from the car.

When I was 18, my ex proposed to me. I had just come back from holiday, and he was waiting for me at my (parents) house. Now, in my old bedroom, where this took place, I had a sliding door that led to my own little garden. So when I arrived, he was standing there, and told me to come and look at something in my garden. I go out the sliding door, and find rose petals thrown along a little path way, with candels (it was night time) on either side. Of course, I followed the path way, and came to a little zen garden thing, that you put on your desk, or coffee table. On top of the zen garden was a scroll. I picked the scoll up, and read it. It was a really mushie love letter. After reading that, with a tear on my eye, I look at the sand (which was previously covered by the scroll) and there he had written with a stick “will you marry me?” and stuck in the sand was the ring. Of course, I cried and turned around, and there he was. He took up the ring, and got down on his knees and placed it on my finger.

And although I did say yes, as you can see by my first sentence, I broke up with him a few months later, but that is a different post for a different time!

To be completely honest, I would probably be too happy to care if my boyfriend proposed in a restaurant, in a plane, or in a garbage dump.

I agree with hifi . . . but its always nice to do something out of the ordinary. Especially fun to tell the story to friends in the years to come. :hr:

Wow, that’s kinda freaky, on Friday night I had a dream that I proposed to my boyfriend. By singing him a Hanson song. :huh: (I didn’t even know I knew any Hanson songs.) Anyway, congratulations!

Actually I used a couple of ideas from this thread:

> [@hificopymaster](#):
>
> [Custom Marriage Proposal Puzzle Unique Marriage Proposal ideas - Custom Made Marriage Proposals](http://www.mgcpuzzles.com/4/proposals/)

I liked this idea of the puzzle, so I looked for a guy who does this kind of stuff here in Costa Rica.  
Then I bought like ten balloons and put them all inside a big box with the ring attached to biggest one.  
On Friday, after work, I went to her house and gave her the puzzle. She started solving it until we got to the last four pieces (that were missing, or at least thats what she tought).  
I had these pieces in my pocket… as you can imagine, they completed the words ‘Te casarias conmigo?’ (‘Will you marry me’ in Spanish)  
Then she opened the box and all the balloons came out with the ring.  
The surprise worked out very well. She said yes and after that we went to have dinner to one of the finnest restaurants here in CR. :beam:
