Can anyone give me ideas on an inventive way to propose to my lady?

Question

I live in the UK.

Answer 1

My husband proposed to me without any drama, on the shore of a lake, in total seclusion. He told me he knew he was going to propose to me long before but he hadn't known where, when, or how. We went to the lake on a whim, horsed around for a bit, and watched the sunset over the lake. Shortly after the sunset all the way he pulled me close, kissed me, and then whispered into my ear his proposal. No getting down on one knee, no elaborate speech. He hadn't even found a ring yet. He said he just knew the moment was right. There had been no advance planning, no elaborate set-up, just a feeling that he had found the perfect moment, and honestly, to know that my guy was that sensitive and that caring to pop the question when there was no ring and no formal set up was amazing to me. He asked at that exact moment for no other reason then it felt right. But I'm a romantic sap.

I wouldn't have had it any other way. Personally I like the idea of waiting till the right moment. A time when you know in your heart it is right. But again, romantic sap. Planned proposals can be cute and touching and something she (or he) will always remember. Cater to what your significant other would dig. Not what Yahoo Answers can provide.

Answer 2

you know you hit the nail on the head inventive is the key. I was reading and all of the sudden be inventive he says o.k. then BE INVENTIVE invent a beautiful box with an ornate beautiful design on the top and sides line the inside with some blue velvet or her favorite color place her ring in the box you have just created with you own hands. show up at her place of business and ask her to marry you in front of her friends and co workers, give her the ring when she says yes. you could also find out what she thinks a very romantic outing and do that to surprise her with the ring you bought her. the Hawaiian hills at sunset, for me is one, the Tennesee mountains works for my honey, ohhh, so many places so little space...... you can kind of get ideas like that ?

Answer 3

I think one of the most romantic ways to propose is to remember some of the things your girly loves most and try to work them into your proposal. When my boy proposed, he took me to one of the places we'd been on our first dates, it was by the sea and we had a day of fun and then as the sun was setting he popped the big question. Knowing that he'd remembered that special time and had planned it all was amazing. Sunsets seem to be a recurring theme!

Answer 4

How about a romantic breakfast picnic? You don't say where in the UK you live but find a local park or somewhere pretty, pack up a really nice breakfast (strawberries, danish pastries, champagne etc...or anything that you two like to have for breakfast) then take her to your location for breakfast, pop the question and then have the champagne to celebrate.

Answer 5

Create a situation that relates to something she loves doing whether that is ...hobbies, places, sports, habits etc. Then propose to her in the good old fashion way with those four magic words.
I guarantee it will rock her socks off.
Here's what I might like if it were me, just for an example ( a sweet scenario )
My lover would mislead me into believing that we were on a date; or something like that. We would be dressed appropriately for this special occasion ( date don't forget ).
He would take me to his predetermined destination ( me thinking it was going to be a club or restaurant or; who knows! ) but I'd be excited anyway.
When we arrive there in these somewhat strange surroundings ( Hmmm, this is funny I'm thinking! ) I would see my favourite pastime right there in front of me.
" WOW " I say.
" It's a party and all of my friends are here "
My heart is beating ever so fast and my breath is coming in short gasps.
" Wwwhats going on " I stutter, with a big stupid grin all over my face.
Then..........I notice that in front of a room full of people ( our friends ) he gets down on one knee and...............XXXX

Good Luck !!!

Answer 6

If you're close to a beach, even a lake, take her for a walk along the shore. When shes not looking, drop the bottle you have concealed in your pocket onto the sand. Let her find it. What a suprise she'll get when she discovers a message inside. She will excitedly unwrap the message to discover your intentions....

Answer 7

All I really want is it to be simple. There is something very special about laying in bed holding each other and talking about how much you love each other, and just asking her. When you feel like you are the only two people in the world. Make love and have breakfast in bed. Spend the day celebrating.

Answer 8

my bf took me to his apartment ,gave me a ring. this ring is plain pattern design but he liked it. He gave it to me. He said this ring for wearing it every day.then she show one another diamond ring .It was in a box. He said he will give to after we get marry. But now we broke. I think , the time to give the ring is importnt. I still think about the day he gave the ring to me.He may be not have high intention, that why he did it so simple.Bad sign. Now that ring is still at the box at my house.I donot wear it and he never ask to return. May be it just 12 days ago. we still talk but not like gf and bf. iwonderd when he ask about the ring. or that ring is fake. But the jewery shop say it real gold. the plain design is match to diamond one . i think he should keep it. actully he think the plain pattern one for guy , and diamond one is for lady. they are wedding ring. I tihnk you should plan before you propose your lady. it have meaning a lot for her.

Answer 9

I would go for something that ya'll do all the time, so she won't be expecting it. But when ya'll are there try your best to act as calm and yourself as you possibly can. I mean remember this is a huge thing that you are about to do, and it is a huge change in your life and possible your lifestyle also.

Answer 10

DO NOT do it in front of loads of people - you want it to be special to the pair of you and I can't think of anything worse that everyone watching you being proposed to.
