What do you think of my proposal idea?

Question

I'm a pretty good artist and I do this thing where I draw tropical landscapes on the inside of a shell. I have given my girlfriend a few already, she loves them. I planned on drawing a nice scene like 2 palm trees on the sides with water in the middle and a sunset, but in the middle it'll say "will you marry me" and then she turns around and im on my knee with the ring. Thats how I'm going to do it, I just don't know what the setting will be, or where exactly it'll be, we're not going on vacation anywhere and i was thinking of doing it on valentines day. What do you guys think of how I'm going to do it?

Answer 1

You sound like a great guy & she should love it!  Since you're unsure of the setting why not make it the beach at sunset (assuming that you live near a beach b/c of the shells you paint.)  

Good Luck!  :-)

Answer 2

I like it!

I think...that is very creative.

AND

good story to tell to her girlfriends!  

Answer 3

thats cool

Answer 4

Love it to death and she has got to say yes.

Answer 5

Creative... go for it.

Good luck man!!!

Answer 6

sounds really nice, i am sure you know her well enough and all to know if she would like such a thing ;) for some girls thats really sweet, and i'd love it for exception of the ring thing, but my bf been warned that if he try picking rings alone he is dead meat *s* i'd love him to ask like that without the ring

but yeah i think most girls want to be surpriced with ring (i just aint most girls lol)

Answer 7

It's a great idea. I think you can bring her to a place both of you loves and bring memories. You can do it on the anniversary day when you both 1st get together. Valentines day is too normal and flowers are expensive. Or do it on 08/08/08, or 09/09/09? A day that come only once in a lifetime.

P.S. I got married on 05/05/05.

Answer 8

That sounds like a great idea!! Don't do it on Valentine's day, too clique and boring. I would just take a short day trip and ask her then.  

Answer 9

yeah that sounds awsome

Answer 10

that would be way cool.. but not until valentines day! first off... it's a proposal...so you dont want to do it on a special holiday like that... especially if shes expecting it... its too obvious.

i love the shell idea...but is there a way you can have the ring inside of the shell and open it like a ring box while your down on one knee?

i would take her to a place where you two have memories... like the beach or soemthing liek that... maybe the first place that you two went on a date...that way you can say something like... this is where i knew i wanted to spend the rest of my life with you...and this is where i want to ask...will you spend the rest of your life with me? and then you can open the shell to reveal the ring and the question... "will you marry me..."

cute idea... congrats and good luck!!!

Answer 11

it sounds very original and meaningful to the both of you.

congrats!

Answer 12

That's sweet and original. Valentines day is a long way away though. You should do it at a nice swanky, romantic dinner...wrap up the shell and give it to her and when she opens it up and reads it, present the ring.  

Answer 13

What a sweet idea!! Not only is it romantic but it's also sentimental because it's involving something special that you are both linked to. I wish you and that lucky girl of yours a Happy Marriage :) !!

Answer 15

Man dude, that is awesome.  I think you got it perfect.  Definitely go for it.

Answer 16

awwww yeah go for it  

Answer 17

That sounds so sweet I like it.

Answer 18

very sweet. :]

it sounds lovely!

Answer 19

aww that's a great idea!

Answer 20

Sounds cute.

Answer 21

Thats adorable!

I would say yes! haha

you can go out to dinner with her to her favorite restaurant

OR!

you could go to the beach with her when you give it to her, and then when she looks at the shell, it will be the beach you're at right now! that way, whenever she looks at the shell you gave her, she'll remember that day perfectly :)
