So I bought a ring last week for my girlfriend of two years. We both live in Colorado, though she was raised near beaches since her father was in the Coast Guard.

She told me off hand about a year ago that when she was little she always thought it would be cool to find a message in a bottle floating in the ocean water. I knew right then that was how I was going to propose.

The only problem is, well, Colorado isn't near the ocean and I don't know if I can make my annual trek to California this summer since I bought the ring and am buying a condo.

I need backup ideas and quick because I'm excited to give it to her already.:oldrazz:
 
Well, I'm not married myself, but one tip I've heard a lot is this: do not try the typical "ring in the wine glass" routine. Your girl seems to enjoy the water, so do the bottle trick, but in a quiet swimming pool instead...just a thought.
 
Oooh wow.

Just don't put it in her drink. I've seen that go wrong too many times. :p
 
Take her to A beach someday, go swimming, put the bottle in there, make it bump her?:confused:

An idea.

Anyway, hope she accepts.:up:
 
take her down to universal studios, and right when jaws pops out of the water...
 
give her a small, eloquently wrapped box with a removable lid and a padded interior. resting within the box is a small sea shell with the ring inside. tell her that since you couldn't bring her to the ocean, you brought a piece of the ocean to her.

Find someone who can make a fortune cookie....put the ring inside....give to your girl.

Carefully make her ingest it, so she poops it out, and then is all like, omg! yes!

Yeah, that would be really sweet :heart: Or you could be a little silly and put it in the bathtub or something and tell her that you remembered what she said, but since there's no ocean around you did your best :woot: Depends on her sense of humor though....if you don't think she'd like that, then go with the shell suggestion :up
 
Actually I think I've come up with something. :) Since I can't take her to the ocean I've been researching Colorado lakes. I think this one'll do:

Hanging Lake.

I figure it'll make for a nice hike.
 
Oh wow, that's beautiful!! That looks perfect! So romantic :heart:
 
Now that I have the Hype's blessing I'm definately going for it.

Maybe... THIS WEEKEND! :eek:

***** took my idea:csad:
 
Demanding that is the quickest way for me to have a diamond lodged in my urethra after she kicks me in the crotch.

The whole office heard me laugh after reading that.

I think you found the answer to your own question. :up: Good luck to you. (Oh, and take it from a married guy, women poop. Come to terms with that and you stand a chance at a successful marriage.)
