Overview One of the most difficult challenges with asking the woman you love to marry you is deciding how you will pop the question. Depending on your personality, as well as hers, you may want to do something traditional, or perhaps something a little more creative. Women dream of how the love of their life will propose to them. This is a story she will tell her friends, family and even strangers for the rest of her life. Show her just how much she means to you by going the extra mile and putting some extra thought and planning into the big proposal. Home Proposal Step 1 Put the engagement ring on her finger when she goes to sleep. Be careful that she does not wake up while you're doing this. Step 2 Prepare champagne and strawberries for two the following morning before she wakes up. If she does not like champagne or is allergic to strawberries, choose her favorite morning drink and snack--such as a cup of gourmet coffee and a bagel. Step 3 Propose to her when she awakens to her new piece of jewelry. At this time, you can also give her the beverage and snack you have prepared. Public Proposal Step 1 Arrange for the two of you to attend a dinner party with friends and family. Let the guests who will attend know what your plans are and ask for everyone's cooperation. Step 2 Purchase 13 shirts to be customized. Get each letter from the phrase, "Will you marry me?" printed on a separate shirt. For example, one shirt will have a "W," one will have an "I," and so on. Step 3 Arrive to the party with your girlfriend. The two of you should be the last to arrive. Step 4 Suggest a group picture. Each guest will be wearing one of the shirts you have had printed up, and will stand in the proper order in the picture to display the big question. Step 5 Get on one knee and propose to her in front of her closest friends and family. Ask a staff member to take a picture of the proposal with each one of your guests standing in his appropriate position. Technology Proposal Step 1 Hack one of her favorite games. At some point during the game, program a ring to appear on the screen. Step 2 Replace her game with the hacked game when she is not around. Be in her company the next time she plays the game. Step 3 Propose to her when the ring appears on the game screen. Get on bended knee and present her with an engagement ring.
