If you are looking for the kind of marriage proposal idea that will go down in history as one of the greats then you have found the right website.
1. The Portrait Marriage Proposal.
Have an artist paint her portrait, adding a box with a loose diamond in her hand before you present it. When you present the portrait, have the ring ready when she asks about it.
2. The "Scrabble" Marriage Proposal.
Invite her and some friends for a game night at home. Play "Scrabble" as the first game. Have the game set up in advance, using Scrabble letters to spell out "Will you marry me?" Have the diamond close by.
3. The Hot Air Balloon Ride Marriage Proposal.
If neither of you are afraid of heights - arrange with a local adventure guide for a private hot air balloon ride for just the two of you (and the pilot). For more cromantic effect, schedule the time so that it covers either sunrise or sunset. Some companies provide a full meal with a table setting and the works. Present the diamond in a box as the dessert at the end of the meal.
4. The Poetic Marriage Proposal.
Buy a small book of poetry and make a cutout the size of the ring through all of the pages. Place and tape the ring into the empty space. Write your own special poem, insert it into the first page of the book and present it to her.
5. The "Big Chicken" Marriage Proposal.
If she has been waiting for her "big chicken" to finally ask her, arrange to meet her for lunch where she works. Rent a chicken costume from the local theatrical shop and wear it on the way. She won't know who it is inside, so write a card that says you have been sent by a dear friend (so she won't recognize your voice). Show another card that asks her name to confirm she is the right woman. Then give her a paper bag with a large plastic easter egg in it (one of the ones that open with candy inside). Inside the egg, put the diamond box and a message, "Will you marry me?"
6. The Knight in Shining Armor Marriage Proposal.
This one is a classic but almost always goes over big. It will cost you a few bucks but it can be worth every penny. Arrange for her to meet you in a quiet park. Rent a horse from a nearby stable and and a knight costume from a costume shop. Have the stable help you by delivering the horse to the park. (request a calm horse).
Get dressed in the costume out of sight and ride up to the location she is waiting for you. You can even have someone waiting in the bushes with a radio to play music and video tape the event if you wish to capture it for later.
7. The Puppy Marriage Proposal.
This one is great but be sure she wants a puppy. You simply get yourself a puppy from the SPCA or a breeder and have the ring tied to the collar with a nice ribbon.
8. The Foot Massage Marriage Proposal. If you are not the type of guy to pull off a big production this is a good option.
Give her a nice long foot massage then at the end slip the ring on a toe and ask her to marry you. Simple but to the point.
9. Sleeping Beauty Marriage Proposal.
This is another simple, low production marriage proposal idea. This one assumes that you live together or that she occasionally spends the night. Simply slip the ring oh her finger while she is fast asleep. when she wakes up, you will know.
10. The "Flight Plan" Marriage Proposal.
Plan a weekend trip, but propose before you arrive at your destination! Ask for the flight attendant's help when you board the plane - see if she can have the pilot announce your proposal during the flight.
11. The Magic Trick Marriage Proposal
Hire a magician to entertain just the two of you at a private dinner. Have the magician complete his act by making the box with your diamond ring mysteriously appear as the surprise ending of his last trick.
12. The Fortune Cookie Marriage Proposal
Purchase fortune cookies and take the fortune out of one with a pair of tweezers. Swap the fortune with a piece of paper that says, "Will you marry me?" Then bring her to your favorite Chinese restaurant and have the waiter bring out her fortune after the meal.
13. The Surprise Plate Marriage Proposal
Secretly get a plate engraved with a proposal message for your partner. Take her out to dinner, having arranged ahead of time for the restaurant to serve her meal on that plate. (bring the plate to the restaurant ahead of time). After she eats her dinner the, "Will you Marry Me, [her name]", message will be revealed. Have the ring ready at the end of the meal to spring your proposal.
14. The Halloween Ghoul Marriage Proposal
You arrive at her door on Halloween dressed in a grim reaper costume (your face adequately hidden with a mask) and when she answers, without saying a word you hand her a note that says "(your name) wants to know if you will marry him. He says he'll just die if you say no, so I need to know your answer to find out if I'll be paying him a visit next".
15. Message In A Bottle Marriage Proposal
Write your special proposal message on a note. Plan an intimate dinner at your home... have the note tied to a string with it connected to the cork of an empty wine bottle. Place the bottle in an ice bucket and surround it with ice. Place it on the table with just the neck poking out. Have two glasses of wine on the table and ask her to poor the wine while you use the bathroom, or finish up dinner - just don't go far away. As she opens it she'll notice something strange there's a note in the bottle (be sure to have an extra bottle tucked away for the actual dinner). When she's done reading the note, take the ring out of your pocket, and say those magic marriage proposal words!
