Hi all,

So the time in my life has arrived where I've found the person I cannot live without and the next step is a wedding proposal. I'm a bit stuck on how to make the moment WOW so I'd appreciate ideas (funny or serious).

Some background: I will be taking her on a luxury safari for 3 days and will pop the question somewhere during that time. This is planned for about 1 month from now. I have the ring covered. So far my idea has been to incorporate an iPad (she desperately wants one) and a group of photos printed on canvas and a printed photo book.

The iPad will have a presentation made up of some of our best photo memories that will autoplay with some music in the background

The printed canvas will be one big print made up of smaller photos of me taken in different locations with one word per photo spelling out the proposal

The photobook is just something to add to the remembrance after and will be in the room that evening for her to look at and keep.

I'm not too fixed on any idea right now, but I'm dead keen for some ideas on how to do it better or more interesting or with a bit more humour as she has a great sense for it!

Any ideas will be welcome

Congratulations! Sounds to me you have it sorted :)

Oh, and what ever you do, don't EVER accept advice from DJ... :D lol!!
 
Hi sSslik - ignore Nicci - she's still miffed that I won't smell her hair.

Tell me, what is your girlfriend's name?
 
Did someone say safari? Ofcourse you have to get an animal involved then. Perhaps a lion charging at her and she'll be all like "aaaahh we're going to die" but then she sees the lion has something stuck on it's paw and just wanted help. She'll think it's a thorn but no, wedding ring! Wedding ring at bottom of lion's paw! No one can say no to that.

Please use a trained lion.

a'zombi: I was thinking of placing the ring on a rhino's horn and well .... if a rhino is not around ... *cough* .. well, the plan can still work!! :D

As for her name: Nilou

I thought an elephant would be good. Chicks dig elephants. And she'll look super-skinny in the photos.
 
Safari?

Picture this. You're on a private game drive with your girlfriend, when suddenly, a monkey pops out of the bushes and sits in the middle of the road. Your driver stops the vehicle. This is no ordinary wild monkey. This monkey is a trained monkey from the circus, but only you and the driver are privy to this secret. The monkey makes its way towards you. It jumps onto the vehicle, and at this point your soon-to-be-fiance realizes that the monkey is holding a little black box. The monkey opens the box, revealing a beautiful diamond ring, and you then pop the question. Bam!

Edit: you'll need a bigger animal to deliver the iPad. Did someone say trained lion?
 
Is that short for Niloufar? Persian name I believe.
 
Nilou, hey? Right, I'm gonna go stalk your profile and find this Nilou woman. I'll send her the link to this thread and then you won't have to worry about this all. Much easier that way. You can thank me later. Consider it an engagement gift from me to you....
 
a'zombie: correct on both counts!

DJ: if it's up to her, I don't have to buy a ring or do a formal proposal ... she's not phased by it so she won't care much for seeing this thread. I'd prefer a bottle of cheap JC le Roux instead - nothing beats cheap plonk!
 
Is she Persian though? Like the cats and carpets? Or did her parents just like the name? Or is she just Iranian and thinks calling herself Persian sounds more romantic?

I have a Persian name. Doesn't make me Iranian. Or Persian.
Like Claire Danes said that one time, what's in a name?

She's persian (like the cat and carpet) - from Parsa.

Because she got tired of people thinking she was Danish? :D

Probably. Then she started talking about roses. Probably wanted to become a florist. A florist who's not Danish but who sells danish pastries!
 
On game drive. You ask driver to stop next to a pile of dung. You get out to investigate said pile of dung, being sure it is lion dung. Like an expert you sniff on it, dip your finger in it to taste it, murmering confidently that this has to be lion, and it has to be close as it tastes fresh. Just to make sure it is a healthy lion, you dip your fingers in deep to to feel the consistency to "see what he has eaten" when suddenly you find something strange. You pick it out and reveal a lion-dung covered ring - just for her. She definately wont know what to say. And if she says yes, she is a keeper.

If she lets you put it on her finger, she's a keeper. And if she kisses you after that, never let go!
 
go and find a nice cliff and pretend to fall down and get your hand stuck between the rocks. after making a big fuss about being in pain and stuff, tell her to reach in your pocket for a knife to cut your hand! :D when she finds the ring in your pocket propose to her! :D
