Because standard marriage proposals at a restaurant are boring, here were the ideas that were running around my head last year.
Still enough time to set one of these up for your significant other on Valentine's Day.
You unoriginal bastard.
Fun Ideas for Marriage Proposal from my Personal Inventory
The Improv Show - This involves having the right connections or being incredibly smooth. Basically, you want to setup ahead of time with the performers a game that involves a volunteer from the audience and a song improvised on the spot. Are you getting ahead of me yet? You're significant other is "randomly selected" to be the person sung to that night. In the form of a love song, that ends up with the line "Will you marry [your name here]?" Hopefully you won't get shot down in front of everyone.
The Doliphin Interaction - Seaworld, cash, and the right amount of charm. Another one that involves setup ahead of time. You just need to convince the trainers to help you deliver the ring to your significant other. For example, inside the mouth of one of the fishes you feed the dolphin. Hopefully you won't get shot down in front of everyone, and the dolphins. Cuz dolphins can be mean if they want to be.
Standard restaurant Proposal: Reg Style - Again, one that involves setup ahead of time. Can you see a running theme here? This involves the help of the waiting staff and the permission of the restaurant owner. Some don't like the unwanted attention from theatrics. Theatrics you ask? During the dessert portion of the meal, you are going to be choking on something in your dessert. When one of the friendly staff saves you w/ the heimlich(sp?) maneuver, you are going to cough up the ring somewhere in the vicinity of your significant other. Hopefully you won't get shot down in front of everyone. This would probably be the situation that would bring the most pity. Lots of work and no results sucks majorly.
Aerial View - Yes, setup ahead of time. Simple really. Because the setup involves you booking time on a hot air balloon ride that ends around Sunset. That would be when you propose, cuz the view would be amazing. Hopefully you won't get shot down in front of everyone. It takes awhile for the balloon to settle 'fore you can safely exit.
Concert - One word: setup. How much needs to be done is dependent on what you want to do. In my book, you can either a) have it subtly thrown in during the announcements "...your headlights are on. And will [significant other] let [you] know if they will marry them so we can hear more music?" or b) during the concert from the performer "I want to give a shout-out to [you] who is going to propose to [significant other] right now." Hopefully you won't get shot down in front of everyone.
Funeral - No setup. This is a joke. If you wanted to take this one seriously, you might want to check your mental health. You could also ask me in private, cuz a few ideas just popped into my head.
Trip to the Vet - This actually happened to a friend of mine. Setup is involved, but it wasn't planned. Basically, the dog ate the ring, had upset tummy, taken to vet by couple, and discovered by x-ray to be the ring. "So...uh. Will you marry me?" Had to wait for the ring to pass thru his digestive system. Good times.
Love making - Setup is dependent on when you want to propose. During: put the ring somewhere within reach of you. Before: Put ring in underwear to be discovered by significant other. After: Ring somewhere in reach. If you were doing it doggystyle, you only need your significant other to standup to propose properly. Hopefully you won't get shot down, cuz that's a buzzkill.
There are more, but these were the more interesting ideas I came up with.
Any guesses as to which one I was leaning to?
If you said Funeral you've got issues to deal with.
Correct answer would've been Dolphin Interaction because it would've had the most sentimental value for her.
Would've also been able to get more use out of my Silver Passport to the park.
Fun thing about SeaWorld.
We ordered the 4 passport funpak deal.
For myself, my younger brother, and our significant others at the time.
Brother and his girl never used it so it was just wasted money, but I'm digressing.
The last names on the cards were: Mose, Mose, Chen, Espiritu.
The credit card these were charged to were from a Mose account.
So which family does SeaWorld address all the information to our house to?
The Espiritu family.
So yea, I need alcohol in my system.
Than I can detox tomorrow morning while doing the laundry and using our home foot spa kit.
Possibly pick up El Goob(younger brother) from the train station.
Than head to work.
Take care, stay out of jail, and all that other good stuff people.
