make it creative (a) it gives her goofy stories to tell and will make her feel special (b) it makes other women jealous which makes her happy again. don't do the lame ring in the drink thing, or rent a suit of armor or anything - be creative. Here is what i did.
i told her to pack for the weekend and told her what to pack but not where we were going. I then took her chicago, which was somewhere 'old' since we had been there. Over the weekend i had 3 presents for her (1) a 'new' photo album, (2) one of my shirts 'borrowed', and (3) a 'blue' pocket knife with a penny (there is an old story that when someone gives you a knife you give them a penny and it signifies your frienship can never be broken.) Each had a card with the appropriate word highlighted, then i got down on one knee (under the guise of a sore back) and read her a 5 page letter talking about our relationship and how i felt about her. The final paragraph pointed out that i had given her something old, new, borrowed, and blue which every bride needs for their wedding and asked her.
only took her 12 months after we were married to break my heart, and another 10 years to rip it out and stomp on it. BUT...she told that story for years as 'the most romantic proposal ever'.

Mine proposed in the house we were renovating to live in together (I knew the proposal was coming - I just didn't know when exactly). I was stripping some window trim and I had gloves on. He called me into the dining room and got down on one knee and took my hand and looked at it for a second, then made a funny noise and had some difficulties pulling the glove off. Then he showed me the ring and asked if I would spend the rest of my life with him. I said yes and then he kissed me. Then he asked me if I would help him feed his cows. So immediately after getting engaged, I was standing in manure, guarding the gate while he fed his cows. He's not always Mr. Romantic, but that's okay. It wouldn't be his style to make a huge deal of it. I like it that he proposed to me in a spot I walk across several times every day.

Come up with something really cool, and not over used. Take her on a day trip buy her a wedding magazine to read, but when you give it to her freak out and say oh my gosh I grabbed the wrong one, I meant to get you cosmo sorry. You know get her hopes up a little.... if she's cool she'll laugh if off and read it anyways. Pack a picnic and go to the beach, enjoy your day and at sunset sit and watch the sun go down, pretend to dig your toes in the sand and say ouch!! As a diversion, tell her you think something cut you and while she's looking at your foot you pull out the ring. You take it from there, really you can do anything you want its the timing that counts. Good luck

Nothing like working it out with the restaurant in advance and having the ring delivered to the table as dessert! (Sweetheart, I have something special for dessert....)
Anything that lets her know that you put some thought into it and that it's an important moment to you will probably work just fine. Good luck--now and in the future!!
(P.S. you've discussed this privately with her parents, right? It may be corny and old-fashioned, but it lets everyone know that you're willing to marry into a family and not just marry a person. Nothing like starting off on the right foot with the in laws.)

Mine just slid the ring across the table to me and asked. WE were away for a long weekend at a rigby tourney (we both play)
He was going to wait and do it at halftime of one of my games, but he couldn't wait and proposed the night before the tourney...
My advice to you is not to overthink it... if there is a special place for the two of you, try to go there... if not... the question (and the answer) are the only important details!!

Run, save your money, take the ring back, go buy a TV or something.
