Well my friends I have decided to take the next step with my girlfriend. I went and bought a 1 carat diamond ring and will be popping the question mid July. Haven't decided how to do it yet but I'm a pretty creative guy. If you all have any suggestions throw them out there!

Return that ring I hope you didn't pay retail price for, and buy her one of those foam "You're #1" hand signs....just kidding, congrats. My best advice would be not to plan it at all, make it spontaneous.

Congrats man, I just got engaged yesterday actually so good luck.

Our first date was at a nice chinese restaurant and we kept all of our fortunes from the fortune cookies over the years. So when we got chinese yesterday, I went by the place earlier that day and picked up some fortune cookies and broke the first couple but eventually inserted a custom "Will you marry me" message into her fortune cookie and then when I picked up the food later I gave her that fortune cookie when I put the food on the table.

I couldn't wait that long, I proposed the day after I got the ring.

Find something unique about yourself as a couple and base it off that.

Based on the average age of posters here I doubt you'll get many ideas....and nothing worse than getting an idea from a website....because trust me..she'll ask where you got the idea.

:yep:

It was their first ever acoustic show that only radio contest winners were allowed in at Chicago Recording Studio back in 2001. I succeeded in winning 2 tickets at 2 a.m. on a weeknight. She had been a monster fan since the early-mid 90s--I mean, besides me, this was her passion. Even now, many moons later, she's still adores 311 and we're both fans. So, a couple of weeks before the show, I contacted the band to work something out for a fun proposal, but was told I couldn't because these things were scripted so tight. So, I did it my way right after the musical part of the show but before the "meet-and-greet" part of the show.
