    Well I was once told of a story of an amazing proposal. Picture St Paddys week fireworks festival night, the bridges are closed and the sky is full of colour... This guy begs and begs the steward to let him and his girlfriend to cross the river as they have to help a friend or something...they run across the river, fireworks booming into bloom, the guy stops, gets down on one knee and proposes.


    Now that's pretty. Not very helpful to the OP tho..

    Take her out for a walk or something, up the mountains, (mwah hahahaha no escape) :D Or take her to a park for a picnic-summer and all....Otherwise, just surprise her out of the blue.

    Why not have your friend bring his girlfriend to where they met for the first time & propose to her there, etc...

    Or does she listen to the local radio station regularly, place an advert on it so that she hears the proposal when she wakes up...

    Something about sandwiches


    man, i saw the worst thing the night of the faroes match! after the match there was a band, and a bloke comes up wit a speech "believe it or not, we met a month ago on a blind date...blah blah, im askin for your hand?" . she hid behind the pillar until he had to drag her up and her reply was "eh..i need a smoke!". disaster!
    although, when the bar was closed he went bak up, gave a whistle to get everyones attention and shouts "She said YES!". ah, the power of 3 more smirnoff ices!

    No! Do it in public, prefarably on National TV, prefarably on the Late Late Show so we can all have a good laugh if she refuses!

    ...but have the pre-nup in the back pocket ready to whip out if she says yes!

    How would we get a laugh outta dat? None of us watch the Late Late Show any more! :p

    Personally I've always liked the idea of doing it as sunrise somewhere beautiful where it's just the two of ye... but then again, I'm a big softy.
