so I dont know if I should start a new thread or not, but here it goes in this one anyways.

I need some ideas as the marriage proposal plan I had is not longer viable do to visa issues. I had planned a private sunset cruise @key west with live music and dinner and was planning to propose at that moment. Due to some visa problems key west is out of the option for now,

I still would like to propose soon as I will be traveling to the country where she lives, and I once used to live. but now Im kinda clueless of how to do it since my 1st plan is gone.

consider the following things:

I will be renting an apartment studio for the time of me being there.
She will leave her mothers house and stay with me at this apt while im there.
I will be in a city that has no beach and is far away from beaches.
The city is not a big metropolis city, medium size city I guess.
I do have some knowledge of local places but its somewhat limited.
city is known to be a party city. many nigh clubs bars etc
Money is not a huge deal, as I had plan to spend usd 2k or so, which in local currency can do a lot!

About her:

she is a simple laid back girl
she doesnt like really expensive fancy things , she is more into saving, and not wasting
she like romance, but she is not one of those hopeless romantic type of girls.
she doesnt like flowers and flower arraignments
likes chocolates
enjoys live music

those are some of the relevant things I can think of the top of my head. Also she will be working during morning time unil lunch so I do have some time to prepare surprises and stuff.

I just need some ideas or opinions on how to do a good romantic proposal :D any help is greatly appreciated since i cant really make up my mind and stop thinking on the key west thing

Yeah, it seems a bit lame in my opinion, of course, to do it in front of a huge crowd, puts unnecessary pressure on.

Well if she is laid back, not hopeless romantic and conservative about money dont go over the top. Where is somewhere that she holds special? (+1 if its somewhere you and her share). You plan a fun yet simple evening, get on your knee and tell her your feelings (from your heart, do not over think/pre plan this).

Are you kidding me? Proposals need to be big. Not expenses wise I guess, but you need to show you care.

Thanks for the break :D

You should definitely not propose in front of family members....he means privately not cheaply. These are two very different things my friend.

The pressure you place on the girl is so awkward thatt you really shouldn't. Unless! You two have already talked about the concept of marriage and she seems extremely thrilled about the idea, please don't. There is nothing wrong with doing it in a private setting because it gives time for a serious moment, a large group standing/sitting by you guys that will clap and scream only ruins the special moment. (I think anyways)

You don't have to take my word for it but you did post it on TL, so I do wanna give my 2 cents. I've never really been that big of a "proposal" type of guy, I find that it is just a over hyped money grab. Personally, I have always thought of putting the money that you then spend on a 5000 or w.e dollar ring on a downpayment for a house/car/something that both of you could use to better your lives together.

That's exactly what I did!

I'm married and me and my wife did a very cheap proposal and marriage. Now I'm not a cheap bastard, me and her both have a lot of bills to pay. I definitely will surprise her on our anniversary, but she knows that NEEDS come before wants. I'm just glad she's not materialistic.

well i'm not sure how much it would cost, however you could look up sky writing. Have them write will you marry me (gf's name here). and proceeding this tell her when you get to someplace that is decently high up that you have something that you would like to show her, but its a secret till you get there.

Never EVER propose in front of a crowd, always do it privately unless you've discussed this before and she is hounding you to get married or something.

Pick one, go with it. I recommend the falling of the edge one. Alternative is make a level in Portal 2 as a proposal.

I'm lucky because I have a very skinny dick and my wife has fat fingers. I told her to give me a blow job and when she went down on me and saw the ring on my dick I asked her if she would marry me after she sucked my dick. Of course she obliged. Maybe you can try that.

You should go to some theme park with her, some friends of her and some of you. Then u ask her to go onto a water-ride with her friends in one boat and u, her and some of you friends in one. U sit her in first place, then wait for the camera that is on the ride and then hold signs in the air. :D (Will/ You/ Marry/ Me?/ <3) If u leave the ride she´ll see the photograph ^^

I agree, no matter how you do it, she has to feel comfortable in the situation to give you her honest answer. So do not ask her in the presence of other people. If you put her in a situation like that it might work against you because it is direspectful towards your partner.
if it weren't for electricity we'd all be playing Starcraft by candlelight.

hire a blimp. have the blimp fly over her house at night with a scrolling banner in lights that says your name... let's say ur name is brad. then suddenly the blimp starts shooting hundreds of fireworks into the air, fireworks everywhere, exploding dragons and shit, and little leaflets drop from the fireworks that have your picture on them, and they say BRAD... BRAD... BRAD... at the bottom. This goes on for hours until everyone is almost deaf, then everything stops and dozens of guys rappel down from the blimp in shadow armor carrying torches. They surround the house and start chanting BRAD... BRAD... BRAD... a path opens up... one ninja walks down it, she is stunned, thinking, is he going to kill me? who is this ninja, he takes off his mask, it's brad... you... with a single rose in ur teeth... you kneel down and hold out the rose to her and it slowly opens and in the center is a ring... that's how u propose in my country.
