I want to re-propose! I need some Ideas.

ITstudent2006 · #1 Apr 14, 2009, 08:35 AM

Ok, here is the deal. I am engaged to my High School sweetheart. We have been engaged for about 9 months.

My proposal was anything but romantic and/or surprising. She knew I had bought her the ring but didn't know when I was going to ask. I asked when we were lying in bed (we we're taking a nap

) Anwyas I was happy with the way it happened, as I am not a romantic type of person I am not the type to plan this huge ordeal because thats not who I am.

Here's the problem, my fiance has three brothers, one of which jst got married, another just proposed last week. The way they proposed was awesome, and it was vey clever and just a good story. Now I am not the type to get jealous but damn, that was good.

I can tell Michelle (my fiance) was kind of like "man, I wished that happened to me" so I got to thinking that maybe I can put a little effort into this and really make it one to remember. I want her to know how much I love her and that I want to be with her the rest of my life but I am not very imaginative.

I need help with ideas!

Thanks in Advance

Rick

My brother took his girl camping by a lake. They were sitting, looking out at the lake and he snuck behind her. When she turned around he was down on one knee with a ring.

Take her back to the place where you had your first date.

Get a copy of the Beatles song Michele and put it on the stereo.
Light the house up with numerous candles.And scented oils.
Buy her a sexy nightgown and buy yourself a sexy pair of boxers and a nice robe.
After you have your PJ's on ask her for a dance.Dance to Michele and then at the end.Get down on one knee and ask her if she will be my Michele(part of the song lyric).
I am a Michele and I like that song

Before my fiance propose to me he got caught. One day I would inside my freezer to get the ice tray and notice something out of the orginary in one of the cubes. I kept looking at it and decide to investage what it was was. I remove the ice cube and notice the ring. I put the tray back and waited for his move.

I guess he decided to go a different route because instead of putting it in my drink on the day of his proposing he asked me with a frozen ice cube.

Afterward I told him you should have least ran the cube under water before you asked while he was ruing water over it. We just laugh and was both equally happy.

I like Artlady idea and it's an extra bonus since there is a song in her name. Wished there was one in my name so use it to your advantage.

Oh, Congradulations and I like that idea or reproposing to her. It's going catch her completely off guard.

Here are some pretty neat ideas:

I think it's really sweet your actually thinking of doing this. My ex husband never proposed to me. It just kinda happened.

Congratulations to the both of you!

You could set it up by sending her on a treasure hunt. Leave her a note in the morning to get herself ready and go to a certain location. At that location, have a small gift that means something to the both of you. For example, if you both like M&M's, leave a pkg. of them with a note attached, to go to the next location! Then say you have a fave coffee shop or something, send her there, have the girl behind the counter hand her a coffee with the next note attached....and onto the next location, with more notes and little gifts! After a half dozen or so locations, be waiting at whatever location you choose, with flowers and a romantic candlelight dinner!!

You can probably enlist the help of your fiancee's brothers wife and fiancee, and hey, maybe her brothers too, since they came up with such good ideas! Also, your gf's friends!! Trust me, the anticipation will be not only fun for her, but you will have a great time planning it. It will be something she will remember for the rest of your lives!

....oh, and if you are not a romantic guy now? You best brush up on that, if you know what's good for you!...lol

starbuck8 agrees: I did this for my ex (oh well, lol) at C'mas one yr., and got everyone involved in it. Everyone had so much fun because everyone was sworn to secrecy!!

Oh, I wasn't proposing to him, by the way. lol! It was just a treasure hunt to find his rather pricey C'mas gift! lol
