Popping the Question in Style: Creating a Unique Marriage Proposal

All right, guys - you did it. You found the love of your life. You've got the ring and you're ready to pop the question, but just getting on one knee and asking her to marry you feels so plain. Your love deserves a marriage proposal you'll both be talking about for the rest of your lives.

Make you feel a little worried? Don't be. She's probably waiting for your proposal. Even if she doesn't seem to be hinting that she's ready to take that step, odds are, she's ready to say yes! Of course, finding one of these girls that don't drop hints is extremely rare, so odds are, your girl's been dropping hints for a while now, giving you the opportunity to find the perfect time to pop the question!

Does your girl have a sweet tooth? Consider buying a lovely container filled with her favorite candy with a message claiming there's a special surprise hidden inside. Make sure the ring - with your proposal written on a strip of paper in the ring box - is hidden inside. This proposal is perfect for a surprise at work. Imagine her surprise when you show up with not only her favorite sweet treat, but a treat she never saw coming! Don't be surprised if she takes the rest of the day off to spend it with you!

Speciality bakeries and online shops offer customized fortune cookies with a wide variety of messages. If your and your sweetie are Chinese food fans, consider taking her to a Chinese restaurant. Catch your waiter when you're out of earshot of your love and have them give her your rigged fortune cookie in place of the one they normally give. Consider making a second one for you, with the fortune 'you will ask a life-changing question in a very delicious way.' Depending on the acting skill of your waiter, he or she can claim that she has a good feeling about your cookie and ask you to open yours first, before your sweetheart. Just make sure you have your engagement ring ready to wear - she's going to want to see it immediately!
