Default on the verge of getting engaged... got any ideas?

heya fellas!
so.. since everyone here is about 20 billion times nicer than the vast majority of other message board junkies..
I figured I'd ask... how would you / did you get engaged?

I work at a news station, and so of course everyone is all "man! make a news package and propose on air.."
...ehh...

I was thinkin' of going to one of those kiln/paint your own glass or ceramic places..
you know, make a plate that says "marry me" or wtf ever..

....then go to some super fancy restaurant and have em swap out the plate of food for mine..
then like, maybe go the extra mile and set up a few cameras.. totally get the whole thing for our wedding video.......?


but, that's kind of.. you know, just thinkin'

YOUR TURN!

Sounds like youve got some good ideas.

DO hidden cameras tho. If she turns your down......Then you can send the video to Americas Funniest Home Videos and maybe win 10k bucks.

Since everyone else has gone one way, I feel duty bound to say:

Dont do it. It will suck the life out of you.

That out of the way, Congrats. Hoep you are very happy and have bunches of fat littel ricers. LOL Good luck.

Don't ask us. You know her best.

Mine, for instance, would have been mortified if I made a big traditional scene at a restaurant and doesn't like surprises; so I planned a big romantic evening and then asked her at home over a bottle of wine.

I would have prefered something fun/funny/memorable, but it wasn't about me.
