I went for dinner and to a really nice roof top lounge and had the waiter bring over flowers (someone dropped them off for me) . Not over the top, just really really nice.

My situation is pretty different as we dated for ~1 year and didn't have a shadchan.  She had been asking me to get professional photos together for a while, so I relented and had her make an appointment.  I swung by the studio a few hours before our shoot and dropped off a dozen long-stemmed roses and asked them to incorporate them into the photoshoot, and I told them I'd be proposing.

I got down on one knee halfway through and pulled out the ring.  The best part is we have great photos of the whole thing.

I took a ferry ride up the East River and had my friends hang a big banner with "Will You Marry Me" from the Wards Island bridge at 103th Street.

Went in a Cinderella carriage...and didn't propose :D

Eventually proposed on a gondola boat where roses and apple cider were waiting (hey, it was during the 9 days!)

No ring of course, would've made things different I guess.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

1. Ask her to be your rib (Adam & Chavah ;-)
Roumour has it that Adama said to G-d: life is getting a little lonely down here, I need a partner.
G-d: not a problem, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg.
Adam: um, what can I get for a rib?
... and woman was created.

What kind of idiot would do such a retarded thing like that.... and the girl said yes?
yeah, she was so scared she jumped into his arms! (Yikes!)
Funny part is there was cops behind them, and wanted to arrest the "thugs"... Craziness.
Apparently the thugs had a record, they held up an ice cream store in Lkwd once... Don't ask...

Her soon-to-be husband put a twist on his proposal, by giving her a bracelet instead of a ring.

I went to the city and had a caricature artist paint me proposing to my Kallah- while I was really just sitting next to her ...
Thanks for the idea.

Just used it the other night and she loved it  :D
