Read this column to get ideas for fun, unique, and crazy romantic ways of proposing, or use these as a prompt to create some ideas of your own:
Go to the first place you met each other and pop the big question.
Take a leaf out of Spider Man's journal and propose with an engagement ring in a glass of champagne...but only if she's a sci-fi fan. ;)

Celebrating Easter? Why not hide a Diamond ring for her along with the big question in an Easter egg?
Take her out for a moonlit night on the beach and write the words in the sand.
Go to your favorite restaurant and get the menu for your table printed with the big question inside it. Most restaurants are helpful and flexible to this concept, as long as you give them a heads up about a week or two in advance.
Who says the good ol' writing on tree barks is out the door? Pop the big question with the words etched on a bark.
An extra-large bouquet of roses with many different notes of all the things you love about your lady attached to the branches, along with your special question in one of them, is sure to keep her guessing what you've got up your sleeve.
Are you both teachers at the same school? Why not ask your students to help out with this one. Remember that scene in the movie with Ben Stiller where he gets the little kids to hold up signs in the classroom window? Given the right lady, this could work like a charm.
Do you both love to dance? Coordinate with a dance school or flash mob club and ask your family and friends and her family and friends to get involved with this. Practice the steps and be sure everyone knows their cue for this spontaneous dance performance. The next step would be to ask her out to lunch or to dance at the club where your performance will take place. Set her up with the a comfortable place to sit, then let the entertainment begin!
Matching Diamond rings for men and women is also a big hit and helps to seal the bond between man and wife. So an extra tip when choosing your final wedding rings would be to choose something that is symbolic of your love and your commitment to stick together.
