Whose yer DADDY!??!?!?!?!
Hey guys so I am planning on asking my girlfriend to marry me. This is the girl from the thread where I detailed her Integra trying to win her back you can read it herehttp://www.detailcity.org/forums/the-detailing-showcase/12556-heres-detail-the-integra.html
Apparently detailing is the ultimate aphrodisiac and a couple months after the detail we started dating again. Now it has been almost a year and our relationship is going great.

I know this is the girl for me and I want to be with her for the rest of my life. I got the stone from my grandmothers ring and had it placed in a new setting so the ring is all taken care of.

However I have NO IDEA how to ask her, so my question is basically for you married folks out there. I am looking for a couple of ideas on how to ask her. The whole ring in the glass of champagne seems kind of cheesy I'm looking for something classy AND romantic. Thoughts?

I was thinking I would do it in Solvang the weekend after next as we are going up there to celebrate her birthday. (Don't worry I got her a gift too, so I am not cheating her out of a present by giving her the ring near her birthday). In case you never heard of Solvang it is a town in Southern California that has a lot of wineries and restaurants and such, it was the town in the movie Sideways. I want to ask her while we are there because I think she will be very relaxed and ready for a romantic proposal.

So there it is I would love some of your guys's input.
 
I surprised the heck out of my wife. It was thee night before we moved in together. I made our favorite stir-fry dish and I ended up putting "Will you marry me" in a fortune cookie.
 
Get her to help you detail or touch up the car. Put the ring in a jar of Souveran. She gets the ring you get the wax. That's a win, win situation.

Take a trip to Hawaii and propose to her on the plane.:D while its at 32k feet off the ground.
 
I took her skydiving by surprise, then asked her when we landed. I was afraid of loosing the ring at 10k feet :lol:

Ha! no joke. Wait till the honeymoon is over, and you'll know if she actually is the girl of your life. It's incredible how women can change.
 
Hey LastDetail, you're not too far from me. I'm in Irvine. Anyhow, I believe there will be a huge hot air balloon festival in Temecula this coming weekend. I think a Hot air balloon while you're floating up in the air would be a nice way to propose. This way she can't run from you if she gets nervous about the proposal.

C'mon dude. He's about to propose to someone he feels is "the one". Giving opinions like that, to someone making a huge decision, is like telling a potential suicidal jumper his shoes are untied. Funny how this actually falls into place huh? Excuse the pun..ANYWAY



Whatever you do, don't plan to marry in 2 months. Take months and months to plan and coordinate, that is, if you plan on a huge one.

Congrats on finding your girl. :)

Men only improve with age???

Back on Topic . . . congratulations & my only advice would be to pick an activity that you both enjoy & won't mind telling your families about when they ask to hear the "proposal story". :) (but I did like the "ring in the jar of Souveran" idea :bigups )
 
Yeah, I guess you guys are right, and no,guys don't improve with age but that's sort of expected. I guess I came on too strong because right now I'm going through a divorce...divorcing the woman that I was sure was the love of my life, so sorry if I offended anyone.

BTW, Congratulations threadstarter, and good luck.
 
Wow thats a hell of a response in just a few hours. I really like the hot air balloon idea, thanks heminator, and skydiving? I don't think I would be able to get the question out with her hands locked securely around my throat she's not exactly what you would call a "risk taker" in fact the one time I asked her to go skydiving she said the only way that she would jump out of a plane was if it was crashing.

Im not too worried about her changing, we have been together for 5 years and we have seen each other at the absolute lowest.

I laughed out loud about the ring-in-the-souveran post. The only thing we don't agree on is how much time I spend in the garage working on cars. Although it's funny that I don't hear her complaining when it is HER car that I am working on. Hmmmmm!:lmfao

Anyway thank you all for the kind wishes and happy thoughts. I of course will follow this up with how I actually did the proposal. Which reminds me I have to go ask her dad if it's ok that I marry his daughter.
 
I would detail my x-girls car to get her back but I think she's already married & her husband wouldn't like it very much. Oh well, life in the big city.
 
Id detail my ex girl freinds car, but I DONT want her back. One woman around here is enough!! I proposed Xmas eve going to church, and said you might want to wear this. Not real romantic but she here. RANDAL
