Pop The Question With Creativity   by Donnell Johnson

How did you pop the big question to your sweetheart? Probably your method wasn't as memorable as some of these.. But if you haven't asked her yet, perhaps this will give you some ideas on ways to do it uniquely! None of these ideas is too expensive and each would make the event memorable.

For those interested in extreme sports, try this one. A couple who liked skiing reached the mountain summit. Just as they were about to descend, he popped the question and she agreed. What a double rush they both experienced! A skydiving couple was engaged through a hidden sign and a nod as they sped toward the ground.

One game show contestant took advantage of the public nature of the show, then turned to the audience, and popped the question to his sweetheart. The nation wide publicity made it hard for her to refuse. One man arranged for help from a movie theater. At the end of the movie the couple was attending, a message flashed across the scream, "Angela, will you marry me? -Bruce". Everyone clapped and, of course, after recovering from the shock, she affirmed his wishes.

One man got his neighbors across the street in on it. On cue, they flashed their lights off and on, spelling out in Morse code his proposal message. A girl thought her sweetheart was busy miles away. She was participating in a scavenger hunt. The last item on her list led her to where he was hiding and, surprise, he proposed.

A bold girl got tired of waiting for her boyfriend to make the decision. The next time they were on a date, she remarked, "I've been practicing my acceptance speech for when you ask me to marry you". If that seems too bold, try dropping a few hints like, "If you need a loan for anything, like, say, a ring, I'd be glad to help you out", or "Where do you think we'll be living as husband and wife a year from now"

George took his honey out to eat at a plush restaurant. She was pretty sure this would be the night he would propose but he didn't even drop a hint during the meal. Finally when they were ready to leave, he asked for the check. There, on the bill tray sat the engagement ring. He took it, fell to his knees and turned her disappointment to joy.

One man bought a small book filled with love poems. After page four, he glued all the rest of the pages together, then cut out a heart shaped hole in it. She started to read them, then turned the page finding the hole was the seat of an engagement ring! Allowing time for shock to set in, he then took it and asked her the big question!

Public media is a great way to propose effectively. How about taking out a full-page ad in a paper you are sure she will read. When she turns to that page, get on your knees with the ring. This also provided her a souvenir of the memorable day.

Speaking of media, a man rented a billboard along a route he knew his girl would travel, and paid for the proposal to be displayed on it. If you can be in the car with her, have the ring handy; if not, try timing a call to her cell phone as she passes the display. Or he could be standing by the side of the road pointing to it as she passed by!

Here are some ideas that include an airplane. Idea one is to get your proposal displayed in the sky with sky-writing. A more permanent version of this would be to hire a company to make and display a banner ad to fly over an event they are attending or beach where they are relaxing. As the banner flies by and she reads the message, he is ready with the ring, waiting for the answer.

Entering into marriage is a serious step in life and pursued soberly. But once this is decided, no one says you have to be routine in the way you convey your wishes to your true love. Why don't you do it in a way that you will both remember throughout your lifetimes together?
